- Franzen’s Fibonacci model flags $4.40 and $6 targets if XRP stays above $2.68.
- $2.68 remains the bullish line as volume and breadth guide next move.
- Liquidity rotation and on-chain metrics may decide XRP’s breakout path.
XRP entered a decisive phase this week as price compressed below $3 and volatility tightened. Caleb Franzen, founder of Cubic Analytics, outlined a Fibonacci-based roadmap showing how trend strength could unfold in stages, if key support holds. His framework stresses that structure and risk matter more than headline targets.
Besides, liquidity appears to rotate across majors, and XRP could benefit if momentum broadens beyond Bitcoin. Consequently, traders now weigh upside extensions against a clear invalidation level to keep risk contained.
Fibonacci Extensions Define XRP’s Conditional Upside
Franzen applies logarithmic Fibonacci extensions to the recent XRP trend. The 161.8 extension marks a potential move to $4.40; the 261.8 reaches $6.00. Measuring the larger Q1 consolidation yields $5.40 and $11.55 as long-range targets.
He frames them not as forecasts but as “reaction zones” where momentum and volume determine what comes next. That means, traders can scale their decisions as XRP reacts near each extension rather than betting on any one target.
Risk Control Centers on $2.68 Support
Franzen identifies $2.68 as the bullish invalidation line and a break below, would signal trend failure and warrant reduced exposure.
Holding above that mark, however, keeps the higher-timeframe structure constructive. Many traders plan partial exits around $4.40, $5.40, and $6.00 while leaving a smaller position for any extended run toward $11.55.

What Could Power or Pause XRP’s Next Move
Broader risk sentiment remains supportive, but altcoin leadership still rotates behind Bitcoin.
If liquidity flows shift toward large-cap alts, XRP could see renewed momentum.
On-chain settlement volumes, stablecoin activity within the Ripple ecosystem, and exchange depth may influence traction. Conversely, negative headlines or macro risk off events could force a retest of $2.68.
Trading Playbook in Plain Terms
Trend-followers look for breakout confirmation above $3.10–$3.30 with rising volume. Mean-reversion traders buy pullbacks that respect $2.68. Both camps scale profits at $4.40, $5.40, $6.00, and keep risk tight. Funding, open interest, and spot volume help confirm strength or flag exhaustion.

Additionally, funding, open interest, and spot volumes can validate breakouts or flag exhaustion. Consequently, a simple checklist trend, level, confirmation, and risk keeps decisions consistent.
