XRP has had a rough start to 2026, with the first two months of the year 
closing in the red. Right now, XRP enthusiasts are hungry for a bullish 
direction. Interestingly, one analyst thinks he has the full picture. Not just 
a target, but a turn-by-turn roadmap of exactly how the next months will play 
out for XRP. CryptoBull, a closely followed crypto analyst on X, has laid out 
a detailed five-wave projection for XRP that begins right where the market 
currently stands, and the destination is unlike anything most traders are 
prepared for. XRP&#8217;s 2026 Broadening Pattern Roadmap The basis of CryptoBull’s 
roadmap is a five-wave broadening pattern drawn on XRP’s weekly chart. The 
structure on the chart is labeled from A to E and is sitting inside two 
diverging trendlines, forming a wide megaphone-like setup that widens as the 
pattern develops. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Stage 1,500% Rally To $20 
If It Mirrors This 2017 Move Price action on that roadmap indicates that XRP 
has already completed Waves A and B and is now wrapping up Wave C around the 
lower boundary of the formation. The chart shows this decline unfolding from 
the July 2025 $3.65 high marked as Wave B, followed by a long slide into early 
2026. That lower trendline is now the most important support in the entire 
setup because it is the area where the next major pivot is expected to happen. 
XRP is close to ending Wave C and preparing to reverse into Wave D, which is 
not going to be just a small relief bounce. It is a strong advance to the 
upper boundary of the broadening pattern, with the Wave D target placed around 
$5. $5, Then A Gut-Punch, Then $27 According to CryptoBull, Wave C could still 
dip to around $1.10 to form a double bottom before XRP turns higher to Wave D. 
Wave D in this framework targets $5, which would see XRP trading in new price 
territories. However, here is where the pattern gets ruthless. Related

on the projection, Wave E follows the D wave, dragging the price back down to 
$0.78 before the final thrust begins. That final breakout is where the most 
ambitious part of the prediction comes in. Once Waves A through E are 
complete, the analyst projected that the XRP price would surge to $27 in the 
move that follows. Notably, this analysis is based on a purely technical 
standpoint, not looking at XRP fundamentals or examining its related growth in 
traditional finance. The chart is plotted on a weekly timeframe on Bitstamp, 
which means each candle represents one week of price action, and the projected 
path stretches well into late 2026 and the coming years. Therefore, this is 
not a trade for the impatient. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at 
$1.37, down by 1.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Pxfuel, chart

A new chart analysis from market technician Johnathan Carter highlights a 
defining stage in the current price cycle of Dogecoin. In a chart shared on X, 
Carter shows the meme coin trading within a descending channel on the daily 
timeframe, a structure that outlines both its present position in the trend 
and the price levels that could shape the next market move. Dogecoin’s 
Position Inside The Descending Channel Carter’s chart shows a clearly defined 
descending channel that has shaped Dogecoin price action for several months. 
The structure is formed by two downward-sloping parallel trendlines that 
continue to guide the asset’s pattern of lower highs and lower lows, outlining 
the broader corrective phase that has dominated the market during this period. 
Within this formation, Dogecoin is currently trading close to the channel’s 
midline. This level often acts as a temporary equilibrium point where the 
price pauses and stabilizes before deciding its next direction. Running 
through the pattern is the 50-day moving average, which further reflects the 
prevailing downward trend. Throughout the decline, this indicator has 
repeatedly acted as a dynamic resistance, limiting several recovery attempts.

Here’s When While this broader structure remains bearish, the lower section of 
the channel aligns with a clearly defined support zone between roughly $0.088 
and $0.09. Recent candles have formed around this region, showing that the 
price is consolidating close to the base of the formation after the extended 
downward move. This positioning is central to Carter’s interpretation of 
Dogecoin’s current cycle stage. With Dogecoin stabilizing near the lower 
portion of the channel while holding above support, the chart places the asset 
in the accumulation stage of the pattern. Projected Recovery Path And Key 
Upside Milestones From this consolidation area, Carter outlines a sequence of 
levels that could shape Dogecoin’s next upward move if the price begins to 
rebound. The first objective appears at $0.100, representing the nearest 
psychological and structural barrier above the current trading range. If 
Dogecoin pushes beyond that level, the chart highlights additional milestones 
at $0.116 and $0.135. These zones previously acted as reaction areas within 
the descending channel, where price movements slowed or reversed during 
earlier stages of the downtrend. Related Reading: Why Did Bitcoin Price Crash 
To $67,000, And Ethereum Price Fell Below $2,000? Further up the structure, 
the next projected targets sit at $0.153 and $0.182. These levels lie in the 
upper half of the channel, meaning a move toward them would signal 
strengthening bullish momentum following the recent consolidation phase. The 
final level identified on the chart appears near $0.206, aligning with the 
upper boundary of the descending channel that Carter marks as a broader 
resistance zone. Reaching this region would suggest Dogecoin is moving from 
the lower support area toward the top of the channel. In that context, the 
current price zone could serve as a base for a rebound toward successive 
resistance levels. During this phase, selling pressure may ease as buyers 
gradually step in, creating conditions for a recovery toward the upper half of 
the channel. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
