XRP Price Primed for Explosive Move as Cup and Saucer Pattern Signals More Gains Ahead

XRP bulls aren't done yet—the cup and saucer formation suggests this rally has legs.

The technical setup—beloved by chartists and ignored by fundamentalists—points to continued upside despite the token's recent run-up.

Here's why traders are betting on higher prices.

The Anatomy of a Bullish Pattern

Classic charting theory shows the cup and saucer as a consolidation phase followed by a breakout. XRP's price action fits the textbook definition.

Market Psychology at Play

The pattern reflects shifting sentiment: early buyers take profits (forming the cup's left side), new money enters (the base), and momentum builds (the right side breakout).

What's Next for XRP?

With the saucer portion complete, technicians anticipate another push upward—because in crypto, why let fundamentals interfere with a good narrative?

Just remember: in a market where 'technical analysis' often means 'finding patterns to justify my bias,' even broken clocks are right twice a day.

Why The XRP Price Rally Is Still In Motion

Crypto analyst Cryptinsightuk took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the formation of a Cup and Saucer pattern on the XRP price pattern. This comes after double rejection from the $3.65 level, which is now acting as the major resistance to the altcoin’s continuation of the rally. However, while this double rejection is concerning, the emergence of the Cup and Saucer pattern suggests a sustained bullish trend.

Cryptoinsightuk explains that despite the rejections, the XRP price has continued to put in higher lows. Naturally, this is bullish for the price regardless of where the resistance lies. Going by the chart as well, it is obvious that there is still a way to go before the pattern plays out completely and suggests a decline in the price.

From here, the analyst expects that the XRP price will indeed continue to rise. One of the major reasons that this remains bullish is the fact that this formation is coming above previous range highs. Therefore, Cryptoinsightuk explains that it is more likely a continuation pattern leading to a breakout than it is to lead to a breakdown in price.

If the Cup and Saucer pattern does hold up and continue as expected, then the next target WOULD be to retest and break the resistance that has mounted at $3.65. Once this resistance breaks, then a continuation of the rally would put XRP back on the path toward new all-time highs above $3.8.

Bullish Developments Spark Hope

Not only are the charts showing bullish momentum for the XRP price, but other market developments have also put the altcoin on a positive path. The latest of these is the SEC approval of the Bitwise 10 crypto Index Fund  earlier in the week, which includes XRP as one of the cryptocurrencies held by the fund. Although the SEC eventually stayed the decision and is now under review.

This comes just a week after the first XRP ETF was approved for trading by the regulator last week, paving a way for more institutional investors to have access to the altcoin. Grayscale has also applied to convert its Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund LLC, which also includes XRP, into an ETF, and is awaiting approval from the SEC as well.
