Several signals point to a potential rally for XRP towards $2.80.
XRP technicals and onchain signals hint at a bullish breakout, with bulls eyeing a significant rally towards $2.80 by month end.
XRP price may reach $2.80 by the end of the month, based on several breakout technical configurations on multiple time frames.
Main Receptors:
XRP technical chart settings are converging on the $2.80 target.
Spot CVD remains positive, indicating confidence among buyers.
The XRP falling wedge flash target is $2.70.
As shown in the two-day chart below, the XRP/USD pair has broken out of a falling wedge pattern on January 1st.

In technical analysis, a falling wedge is a classic bullish setup with two downward sloping, trend lines converging, selling speed and decreasing volume. It often leads to a reversal when sellers get tired and buyers take control.
To increase the chances of a return to $2.40, the altcoin needs to hold above the support at $2. Overcoming this resistance would pave the way for a run to the top chart target at $2.70.
“$XRP is coming out of the falling wedge after trading sideways for a month,” trader CryptoWIZRD said in a recent post on X that this last happened in Q4/2025 when the price “exploded” 486%.
XRP has a bullish flag targeting $2.80
The eight-hour chart shows XRP price trading with a bullish flag, with the price facing resistance from the pattern's upper trend line at $2.15.
An eight-hour candlestick above this area clears the way for XRP to rise to the top of the flag post at $2.41 and later to the scaled chart pattern at $2.80.
Such a move represents an increase of 32.5% from the current price.
The relative strength index rose to 51 from 42 on Monday, indicating that the pace of bullishness is growing.
According to Cointelegraph, a break above the downtrend line in the downtrend channel at $2.30 on the daily chart could indicate a trend reversal. The XRP/USDT pair may rally to $2.70.
XRP took spot CVD shows high buyer volume
The 90-day Spot Tucker Cumulative Delta (CVD), a metric that shows the balance of buyers and sellers, shows that buy-orders are once again dominant.
As demand-side pressure has dominated the order book since November 2025, the XRP/USD pair is up 16% so far in 2026, according to data from CryptoQuant.
This indicates that many traders are buying XRP at the market price instead of waiting for cheap auctions, which shows the growing confidence in higher prices in the future.
The last time XRP saw a similar increase in spot CVD was in July 2025, which was preceded by a 65% price rally in weeks. This echoes the technical structure with a $2.80 target from the year's open.
