The XRP price is trading around the psychological barrier of $0.60 after breaking through earlier in the week. Notably, XRP has exhibited interesting price action amidst wider market uncertainty, although many cryptocurrencies are starting to turn positive. While some market participants are still bearish on XRP, others are looking out for a very bullish trajectory.
A crypto analyst has revealed an XRP technical analysis that many bullish proponents can resonate with. According to the analyst, XRP is set to surge to $32 in the coming months.
XRP Price Surge Of Epic Proportions
Despite the broader volatility, many cryptocurrencies have begun to show signs of recovery, with XRP also a focal point of interest. The XRP analysis in question was posted through the social media platform X by Tylie Eric. This analysis was accompanied by an XRP / U.S. Dollar price chart on the 1D candlestick timeframe. As such, the price chart shows XRP’s price action as far back as late 2020. Central to the analysis is the depiction of a symmetrical triangle pattern, which has been gradually forming since early 2021, when XRP reached a peak trading value of $1.96.
Over the years, XRP has displayed a series of lower highs and higher lows, which have progressively tightened into a narrower trading range. This pattern is often regarded by technical analysts as a sign of a potential breakout, where the price could move significantly in either direction once there is a breakout.

Recent price action now puts the XRP price trading at the upper trendline of the triangular pattern. A breakout to the upside would cement a bullish rally for the cryptocurrency. According to the price target noted by Tyler, this breakout could see XRP initially surging to its current all-time high of $3.5 before facing resistance.
However, the sheer nature of the bullish breakout would see XRP quickly clearing this resistance and going as high as $32. His timeline for this happening is between now and the end of the year. This projection, if realized, would represent a substantial 5,230% increase from the current price of XRP.
What’s Next For XRP?
Market sentiment around XRP is currently mixed. Tylie Eric’s forecast is particularly bold, predicting that the XRP price could climb as high as $32 by the end of the year. While surges of such proportions are not new to the crypto XRP, the chances of such an XRP surge happening are very slim at the moment. However, XRP has seen several other bullish predictions of a similar nature in recent weeks, particularly in the wake of the conclusion of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit.
On the other hand, a segment of the market remains bearish on XRP. One analyst recently even went so far as calling XRP the “biggest scam in crypto.” At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.6008 and is only on a 1.29% gain in a 30-day timeframe.
