A lone green candle on XRP’s three-week chart is drawing attention from at least one analyst who believes it could be the start of something bigger than a routine bounce. Crypto analyst CW, posting on X, flagged a bullish candlestick formation on the XRP/USD 3W chart that he says signals the opening of a full-scale uptrend. One that, if his cycle analysis holds, with the setup pointing first to a retest of the all-time high zone and then, in an extreme scenario, to $21.5. New Uptrend Is Starting On The 3-Week Chart Technical analysis of XRP’s price action on the 3-week candlestick timeframe chart is revealing an interesting signal. The signal itself is straightforward: a green candlestick has been printed on XRP’s three-week chart at a time when the price is sitting just above $1.38. Related Reading: Analyst Maps Out XRP’s Exact Path For 2026, Here’s The Roadmap The analysis comes from crypto analyst CW, and according to this projection, this could be the first bullish wick that shows sellers are losing control on this higher timeframe. It is important to note that the rally hasn’t kicked off yet, and XRP is still looking to solidify a break above $1.4. Also, indicators are yet to print full-scale uptrend signals, but according to the analyst, these bullish reversal signals will appear soon. Those sub-indicators are visually consistent with a momentum oscillator cycling between oversold and overbought extremes shown in the chart below. They have printed blue dots at every significant XRP low since 2014, including the floors that preceded the 2017 and 2021 rallies. A new blue dot appears to be forming now. Multi-Phase Cycle That Sends XRP Price To $21.5 The chart attached to the analysis lays out two cycle structures divided into four separate phases. In the first cycle, Phase 1 was the initial markup, Phase 2 a massive correction, Phase 3 a prolonged descending consolidation inside a symmetrical triangle, and Phase 4 was a breakout. Related Reading: XRP Starts New Week With Bullish Confirmation, But This Level Is A Problem The technical analysis places the current cycle as tracing the same sequence almost precisely. Phase 2 printed as the post-2021 bear market decline, Phase 3 as the multi-year compression between 2022 and 2024, and the surge to $3.65 as the first part of Phase 4 in the new cycle. XRP is now, by this reading, still playing out Phase 4 into a move that overshoots everything that came before, despite being down by about 62% from its all-time high price. Interestingly, the chart also labels the first upside objective as a return to this all-time high. Therefore, before any talk of double-digit prices, XRP would first need to reclaim the zone around its prior record of $3.65. CW’s final projection is a cycle top at $21.5, which he ties to the Fibonacci 6.618 extension level. That level is marked as TP2 on the chart, with the all-time high zone serving as TP1.

The memecoin sector has experienced a sharp contraction since the speculative peak reached in late 2024, reflecting the cyclical nature of sentiment-driven assets in the cryptocurrency market. After attracting massive attention during the previous bull phase, many meme-based tokens have since lost momentum as liquidity tightened and investor risk appetite declined across digital assets. Related Reading: The $2,050 Pivot: Ethereum Scarcity Index Turns Positive As Binance Supply Tightens A recent report from CryptoQuant highlights how memecoins periodically capture market attention despite lacking the technological foundations that support many other blockchain projects. Unlike cryptocurrencies whose valuations are tied to utility, infrastructure, or financial applications, memecoins tend to derive most of their demand from community enthusiasm and social media-driven narratives. In practical terms, memecoins emerge from internet culture, viral trends, or influential online communities. Their price movements often depend less on fundamental development and more on the speed at which narratives spread across social platforms. As a result, the sector tends to move in highly cyclical waves of hype, speculation, and eventual cooling. Market data illustrates this pattern clearly. According to CoinGecko, the total market capitalization of memecoins stood at $31 billion in March 2026. While still significant, this represents a dramatic decline from late 2024, when the sector briefly exceeded $150 billion before sentiment shifted and speculative capital began leaving the market. Memecoins Reflect Cycles of Attention and Risk Appetite The report also points out that on-chain activity tends to mirror the attention cycles that define the memecoin sector. During periods of rapid price appreciation, trading volumes frequently surge, particularly in the later stages of the rally. This pattern suggests that rising prices themselves often attract additional participation, as public interest grows and fear of missing out begins to drive market behavior. In many cases, the increase in demand does not originate from new technological developments or fundamental changes in the underlying project. Instead, momentum builds as social media discussions intensify and speculative capital flows into trending tokens. As a result, price acceleration and rising trading volumes can reinforce each other, creating self-sustaining phases of hype. For analysts, these dynamics make memecoins a useful indicator of investor psychology in the broader crypto market. Sudden spikes in trading activity, combined with heightened social engagement, often signal a shift in overall market risk appetite and speculative interest. At the same time, such attention cycles introduce significant risks. Viral narratives and strong community momentum do not necessarily translate into long-term sustainability. During phases of intense hype, investors should approach the sector cautiously and carefully examine project details, token distribution structures, and available liquidity before committing capital. Related Reading: XRP Withdrawal Surge Meets $1.4B ETF Inflows as Capital Returns to Select Altcoins Memecoin Market Cap Trends Lower After Speculative Peak The chart of the total memecoin market capitalization highlights the magnitude of the sector’s correction since its speculative peak in 2024. After reaching elevated valuations during the late stages of the previous bull phase, the market has entered a prolonged downtrend characterized by lower highs and persistent selling pressure. At its peak, the memecoin sector briefly approached the $90–$100 billion range before momentum began to fade. Since then, market capitalization has steadily declined, reflecting the broader cooling of speculative activity across crypto markets. As of the latest reading, the sector’s total value sits near $27–$28 billion, marking one of the lowest levels recorded in the past year. Related Reading: TRON Joins Agentic AI Foundation As AI Systems Move Toward Real-World Deployment Technically, the structure remains weak. The market cap continues to trade below its major moving averages, which are all sloping downward and acting as dynamic resistance. This alignment suggests that momentum still favors sellers despite occasional short-term rebounds. The sharp spike in trading volume during the February decline indicates a capitulation event, when many speculative positions likely unwound rapidly. Following that move, market capitalization has stabilized in a narrow range, suggesting the sector is attempting to find a temporary equilibrium after months of contraction. Until the market cap reclaims higher resistance levels near $35–$40 billion, the chart suggests the memecoin sector remains in a broader corrective phase.
