Following the drawdown from 2025, the XRP price has dropped by more than 50% from its cycle peak to struggle below $1.5. With the recent recovery, there has been some improvement in the price action, but the sustainability of the rally remains to be seen. As the sideways action continues, the question now remains if the XRP price will be able to hit $3 again in 2026, which would be an over 100% increase from its current levels. XRP Price Will Not Go Above $2.3 The Crypto Predictions website shows the possible trajectories for digital assets, and the predictions for the XRP price are not especially bullish. While there is expected to be some increase in the XRP price, there is no major surge coming for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: The Dogecoin Breakout That Could Send Price Rallying 3,000% To $4 Instead of a sustained increase, the prediction shows fluctuating price performances for the coin. For example, the prediction shows that the maximum price that XRP will reach in the month of April is $2.277, and interestingly, this is the highest level predicted for the year 2026. While there is the expectation that the price will reach above $2, the average price prediction comes down to the fact that XRP will continue to trend below $2. Double-digit increases is likely as the price is expected to sit higher than where it currently is. However, there is no indication that there will be a rally above $3. CoinCodex Prediction Shows Similar Trajectory Just like the Crypto Predictions website, the CoinCodex website forecasts that it is unlikely that the XRP price will hit $3 in the year 2026. The next few months are expected to be slightly bullish, showing possible double-digit predictions that will send it higher. But the majority of the predictions still remain below $2.

This would be a 57.28% increase compared to where the cryptocurrency is currently trading. As for when the XRP price might reach $3, the website says it might be a long wait, showing a two-year stretch until 2028. Then, at the start of 2028, in January, the XRP price is expected to possibly cross $3 to a max price of $3.39. But the rest of the year is expected to play out below $3.

XRP is trading near the top of its month-long consolidation band, with the price stuck between roughly $1.35 and $1.45. With April nearing its end—just six days left until the month closes—will the XRP price break upward before the deadline, or will it slip lower and trigger a faster downside move? Monthly Breakout Or Breakdown? In a fresh technical update shared on social media, analyst Bull Winkle says the next major confirmation for the XRP price will come from how it behaves on the monthly time frame. According to Winkle, bulls need a monthly close above $1.90. He frames that level as more than just a random resistance area, describing it as a demand-zone “hold” signal and also a reclaim of the 2021 resistance level, now acting as support. Related Reading: XRP ETFs Post Longest Back-To-Back Gains Of 2026—Key Numbers Inside If the XRP price can clear $1.90 on a monthly close, Winkle argues it would set the stage for retests higher up the chart—specifically opening the door to $2.90 revisits. That bullish scenario includes a significant recovery math. If the XRP price climbs toward $1.90 ahead of April’s close from current trading levels of $1.43, it would represent about a 32% recovery. Additionally, a potential rally of 102% up to the $2.90 area. On the other side, Winkle lays out what would count as a clear breakdown for bears. He says the most decisive bearish signal would be a monthly close below $1.27. In his view, that would open the path for a faster move toward $1, with the potential for an Elliott Wave C-style correction that could land the XRP price in the broader $0.60 to $0.75 range. That bearish estimate would be severe: it could equate to around a 58% decline from the current trading zone. What The XRP Price Needs Next While those price levels are the headline, Winkle also emphasized momentum context using the relative strength index (RSI) indicator. He notes that at 47, the monthly RSI is not showing divergence in either direction yet. For him, that means the market has not reached a point where the next move is fully “high conviction” on the monthly setup. Instead, the RSI needs to do something more decisive—either bouncing strongly above 55 to confirm a bullish phase, or pressing below 40 with a trajectory toward the 30 area, which he describes as a capitulation-type bottom. That brings the focus to the immediate battleground. Winkle’s summary of where the XRP price stands is straightforward: the $1.27 to $1.43 range is where the outcome is likely being decided.

Beyond the chart levels and RSI, Winkle pointed to a separate signal he believes is already strengthening the case for a potential upside leg—something supply-side, rather than purely technical. In another post, he highlighted that “seven billion XRP just vanished from exchanges,” claiming this exchange outflow matters because when the altcoin sits on exchanges, it represents liquid, sell-side supply that can be sold at any moment. Once that supply leaves—whether to cold wallets, institutional custody, or longer-term holding structures—he argues the immediate downward pressure for the XRP price can ease.
