A well-known chartist who nailed last year’s 600% rally told followers on 18 June that XRP “has a clean shot at eight bucks by mid-2026,” pointing to a repeating Fibonacci arc that printed ahead of the 2017 and 2021 breakouts. The claim dropped just as XRP hovered near $2.15, keeping the token in a tight band while traders weighed the odds of another surge.
Volume paints a mixed picture. CoinMarketCap shows 24-hour turnover sliding to $2.21 billion, yet whale wallets keep adding. On-chain trackers now count more than 2,700 addresses with at least one million coins, an all-time high.
Talk in our desk chat quickly shifted to timing: buy now, or wait for a cheaper entry? A colleague noted he was also eyeing Remittix, a payments token gaining traction among freelancers looking for quick fiat settlements, though it targets a different slice of the market.
Whale Moves and Price Levels
Over the past seven days, whales absorbed roughly $190 million in XRP, while exchange inventories fell to a six-month low. If bulls lose the $2.00 shelf, chart support sits at $1.83, a level lining up with the 0.618 Fib of the January swing. Below that, $1.70 marks the next liquidity pool.
Network data offer another clue: the XRP Ledger processed 1.2 million payments on 17 June, up more than 900% from the past week. Payment volume often leads spot price by a few weeks, so technicians view the spike as an early tailwind.
Trader Targets and Macro Signals
The veteran’s $8 target rests on a measured-move projection. From the current base, it represents a 270% climb, roughly mirroring the 2019–2021 move that took XRP from $0.50 to $2. Technical roadblocks exist, though.
Resistance looms at $2.45, then $3.00. Options desks report a slight tilt toward protective puts expiring in September, reflecting caution as the SEC’s roundtable on stablecoins approaches at month-end.
Macro forces could lend a hand. Canada’s first spot XRP ETF pulled in $37 million within days of launch, boosting institutional exposure to nearly a quarter-billion dollars. If the U.S. follows suit, fresh capital could shorten the road to that $8 figure.
XRP Future Outlook
Momentum indicators are flat, whales are buying, and one seasoned trader sees XRP north of $8 within eighteen months. Bulls need a weekly close above $2.45 to keep that script alive; bears will press their case if $1.83 gives way.
While holders weigh those levels, some are diversifying into Remittix drawn by its real-world payout utility that isn’t waiting on regulatory clarity. Whether the next cycle’s crown goes to XRP or a rising alternative, the coming months will reveal which payment play was the smarter pick.
