A recent technical projection from crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) has put XRP back in the spotlight, with a chart suggesting a possible climb toward $30. The forecast is based on a cup-and-handle formation visible on XRP’s two-week chart, with many traders viewing this pattern as a bullish continuation signal when confirmed. XRP’s Cup and Handle Pattern The chart, posted on X, tracks XRP’s price movements from 2020 through 2025 and highlights a gradual recovery after the asset’s decline from its 2021 peak of $1.96. The asset began forming the cup as it declined from this level, and the chart shows a rounded bottom from 2021 into late 2024. In late 2024, veteran trader Peter Brandt predicted a massive move if the asset could breach $1.96 , and that run peaked at $3.39, marking a multi-year high and completing the cup formation. Following this massive breakout, the asset entered a consolidation phase, dropping below $3 in early February and remaining below that level for months. This consolidation phase formed the handle, and XRP’s breakout in July validated this multi-year pattern. The asset rose to a new all-time high of $3.65 in mid-July , and Steph suggests this confirmation has set XRP on the path to $30.

In this case, the rounded base spans several years, adding weight to the potential move if the pattern plays out fully. The recent breakout above a multi-year trendline, shown in the chart as a dotted diagonal, is another factor reinforcing the bullish projection. While the asset’s all-time high of $3.65 is a crucial level that could open doors to double-digit prices , Steph’s chart also highlights $3.5 as a notable resistance for the cup and handle formation. The asset is currently trading at $3.08 and will need to regain the $3.5 level to ensure the surge to $30 happens. While chart patterns do not guarantee outcomes, traders often monitor them closely for directional bias. The magnitude of this particular $30 target would represent a significant gain, and many analysts have shared bullish short-term expectations for the asset, reinforcing the belief that something big is coming.
