Analyst Sets Timeline for XRP Price All-Time High If This Blue Box Breaks

XRP has quietly reclaimed technical ground that analysts have watched for months. Crypto analyst JD (@jaydee_757) published a chart identifying a structural shift in XRP’s price action.

He showed that XRP has printed its first higher high in a prolonged downtrend, and one key level now separates the asset from a potential run at new all-time highs.

The Downtrend Structure

From July 2025 through mid-2026, XRP traced a classic downtrend on the weekly chart. The price printed a consistent series of lower highs and lower lows, dropping from an all-time high of $3.65 to a low around $1. That low sits near the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level at $1.0133, a technically significant zone.

The descent followed a defined falling wedge, with price compressing into the lower end before reversing.

The Higher High

JD’s analysis centers on the most recent weekly candle. After bottoming near the 0.786 level, XRP bounced and broke above the descending trendline. The breakout, which JD labeled on the chart, saw XRP rise by over 50% in under 3 days.

The candle cleared the previous lower high and established the first higher high in the sequence. For trend analysts, a higher high after a series of lower highs signals a potential structural reversal from bearish to bullish.

The Blue Box Level

The critical level JD identifies is a horizontal resistance zone between roughly $1.85 and $1.95, highlighted in blue on the chart. This zone previously acted as support during the downtrend before price broke below it. JD stated that breaking the blue box could push XRP to a new all-time high in 2027 or 2028.

The blue box sits well above the current price of $1.4242, leaving a gap of roughly $0.40-$0.50 before XRP reaches that resistance zone. A weekly close above it would confirm the trend reversal and open the path toward prior highs.

Profit-Taking Plans

JD has also addressed how he intends to approach the cycle. He noted that “the majority will still end up POOR once I start TAKING PROFITS.” JD has previously stated that he will use many investors as exit liquidity.

He referenced his prior trade where he took profit near XRP’s previous peak. His target window for the next cycle top is 2027-2028. The asset’s immediate challenge is the blue box sitting above it.
