After enjoying a modest recovery in the early weeks of April, the price of XRP 
appears to have settled around the $1.4 level. Interestingly, a popular 
analyst on the social media platform X has put forward an audacious target for 
the altcoin, projecting its price to reach $13 in the next cycle. However, the 
path to this lofty target is not as straightforward as it appears, as an 
initial price drop for XRP could be potentially imminent. Price Could Fall To 
$0.9 Before Next Bull Run: Analyst In an April 25th post on the X platform, 
crypto analyst Ali Martinez postulated that the price of XRP could reach as 
high as $13 in the next bull run. However, the market pundit also noted that 
the cryptocurrency might need to drop below the $1 mark before this 
significant upward move materializes. Related Reading: Dogecoin Shows Classic 
Ichimoku Strength – What This Means For Price This price outlook is based on 
the appearance of an ascending triangle pattern on the XRP monthly chart. The 
ascending triangle is a technical analysis pattern characterized by an inverse 
right-angled triangle with a horizontal upper boundary (typically resistance) 
and a diagonal rising lower trendline (connecting the higher lows). An 
ascending triangle formation is usually considered a pause in a trend, with 
prices often breaking out to the original upward trend. However, an ascending 
triangle formation can act as a trend-reversal pattern and a bearish signal 
when the asset’s price breaks below the lower trendline, thereby negating the 
initial uptrend. As shown in the chart above, the ascending triangle captures 
XRP&#8217;s price action over the past few years, with the upper boundary (around 
$3.32) resisting further upward movement back to early 2025. The altcoin&#8217;s 
price has since been in a downward trend, with Martinez projecting a potential 
bear-market bottom around the lower diagonal trendline (around $0.9). If the 
XRP price does bottom at $0.9, Martinez expects that the altcoin will travel 
to as high as $13 in the next bull run. However, a conservative target for 
investors could be around $3.32, which is the token&#8217;s high from the previous 
cycle. It is worth noting that if the XRP price succumbs to further bearish 
pressure and breaks the support around $0.9, it could fall to as low as $0.11, 
where the next significant support zone lies. XRP Price At A Glance As of this 
writing, the price of XRP is around $1.43, down 0.5% over the past 24 hours. 
According to data from CoinGecko, the altcoin has jumped by more than 6% over 
the past month, reflecting an improving crypto market climate in the second 
quarter of 2026. Related Reading: Solana Price Ready For A Big Move — Is It
