After years of trading within a broad consolidation structure, XRP may be approaching a decisive phase in its market cycle, according to crypto analyst Maxi.
The analyst shared a long-term XRP chart suggesting that the digital asset has completed a significant breakout and successful retest, a development he believes could pave the way for substantially higher prices in the months ahead.
In his recent market commentary, Maxi stated that XRP is on the verge of entering what he described as “price discovery,” following a breakout from a nine-year consolidation pattern.
The chart attached to his post shows XRP trading within a large symmetrical triangle that has developed since the asset’s 2018 peak. According to the analyst, the recent price action confirms that XRP has broken above this long-standing structure and successfully tested the breakout level as support.
“XRP about to enter PRICE discovery,” Maxi wrote, adding that the asset has achieved a “perfect breakout & back-test.”
A key part of Maxi’s analysis centers on the length of the consolidation period. He emphasized that XRP has spent nearly a decade building a base, and that extended consolidation phases often precede significant price expansions once resistance levels are overcome.
“The longer the base = the higher in space!” he stated while outlining his bullish outlook for the asset.
Based on the chart shared in the post, Maxi expects XRP to reach between $8 and $10 or higher before the end of the year. The projection is illustrated by a green upward trajectory on the chart that extends beyond XRP’s previous all-time high region and moves toward double-digit price levels.
The analyst further suggested that once XRP reaches that range, the asset could move into what he called “true price discovery based on utility.” This view reflects a growing narrative among some XRP supporters who believe broader adoption of Ripple-related payment technologies and utility-driven demand could eventually play a larger role in determining the asset’s valuation.
Maxi’s comments received support from members of the XRP community, including market participant PSB, who responded with a concise endorsement of the utility-driven argument.
“Utility always wins in the long run,” PSB commented.
The remark aligns with the broader message in Maxi’s post, which emphasizes XRP’s long-term use case over short-term market speculation. While the analyst’s projected price targets remain speculative and depend on future market conditions, his chart analysis suggests that he views XRP’s recent technical structure as one of the strongest signals the asset has produced in years.
