Leading cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez projected that XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) could have a technical target near $60 if it confirms a breakout from a nearly decade-long ascending triangle.
Will XRP Cross This Barrier?
Martinez posted on X an ascending triangle pattern on XRP’s monthly chart, highlighting $3.66 as a “key barrier.”
“A monthly close above it would confirm the breakout and activate a technical target near $60,” the analyst stated.
An ascending triangle is generally viewed as a bullish chart pattern that can precede an upside breakout. Price usually breaks above the horizontal resistance line, suggesting the prior uptrend is likely to resume.
For context, XRP has never come close to $60; its all-time high remains $3.84. If this forecast proves accurate, it would imply a staggering 4,185.71% surge from current levels.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of an asset’s price, meanwhile, flashed a “Sell” rating.
Moreover, open interest in XRP futures has risen by nearly 2% in a week, according to Coinglass, indicating high speculative interest.
