The chart shows this decline from July 2025 to $3.65, marked by wave B, followed by a long slide into early 2026. This lower trendline is now the most important support in the entire setup, as it is the area where a major reversal is expected.
XRP is nearing the end of wave C and is poised for a wave D reversal, which will not be just a mild blip. This is a strong advance to the upper boundary of the extension pattern, with the Wave D target placed around $5.
$5, After Gut-Punch, Then $27
