XRP trades near $1.36 after five consecutive monthly losses since October 2025. Market data shows a long-term price structure that mirrors the Russell 2000 index. Analysts now track a potential breakout toward $10 if the pattern continues.
XRP Price Tracks Russell 2000 Multi-Year Structure
Market records show XRP price has mirrored the Russell 2000 structure since 2018. Both assets formed horizontal resistance after setting prior all-time highs. Traders observed parallel consolidation phases under a defined yellow trendline.
The Russell 2000 peaked at 2,463 in November 2021 before forming resistance. It traded below that level until November 2024 and briefly broke above it. The index then pulled back sharply to 1,698, completing an ABC correction.
After that correction, the Russell 2000 reclaimed the resistance and pushed higher. It reached a new high of 2,738 in January 2026. The index continues to hold above the former resistance zone.
XRP followed a comparable path over a longer timeline. It dropped from $3.31 in January 2018 and formed horizontal resistance. The token traded below that level for years before breaking above it in November 2024.
The breakout drove XRP to $3.6 by July 2025. However, the rally stalled and reversed in October 2025. Data now shows the asset forming what analysts describe as the C-wave of an ABC correction.
Austin, an XRP community commentator, highlighted this alignment on the weekly chart. He stated, “The structure matches the Russell 2000 almost point for point.” He added that the pattern suggests a potential breakout if the correction ends.
Downtrend Deepens as $10 Target Emerges
XRP closed February with a 16.35% loss, its largest monthly decline in the current downturn. The token has recorded five consecutive monthly red candles since October 2025. Price has fallen nearly 52% from its Q4 2025 peak.
Over the past 24 hours, XRP declined nearly 3% and trades around $1.36. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East pressured global markets. Iran responded to Israel-U.S. airstrikes that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28.
Risk assets weakened as traders shifted capital toward traditional safe havens. Crypto markets reflected this movement with broad declines. XRP extended losses while maintaining its long-term structural pattern.
Austin maintained that the correction could mark the end of the C-wave. He said, “If XRP follows the Russell 2000 path, a decisive break above resistance could follow.” He projected a move toward $10 if the price clears the yellow trendline.
A move to $10 would represent a 635% increase from current levels. Analysts stress that the projection depends on structural continuation. XRP price currently remains below the horizontal resistance formed in 2018.
Weekly charts continue to show consolidation beneath that resistance line. Market participants now monitor whether the price will stabilize or extend losses. XRP trades at $1.36 at the time of reporting.
