XRP failed to break above the $3 resistance last week, but there is still room for optimism. On-chain crypto analyst, Ali Martinez predicted in an August 25 post on X that “it won’t take long” before the cryptocurrency is back at $3.70. While he did not elaborate on his prediction, Martinez provided a chart suggesting we might see the target price sometime around mid September.

If price manages to break above the downtrend resistance, the measured move, aligned with extension levels, points directly toward $3.70. Is an XRP breakout coming? XRP has not approached such heights since July, when it peaked at around $3.66, but as another analyst, AltcoinGordon, notes , a classic cup-and-handle formation appearing on the daily chart implies the asset might be “on the verge of a monumental run.” Namely, the formation indicates a price consolidation within a narrow range following a U-shaped recovery. From a technical standpoint, this consolidation could set the stage for a potential breakout above the pattern’s neckline near $3.80, which agrees with Martinez’s own projections. Steady lads. $XRP is on there verge of a monumental run.
