1. Wave 3 firmly underway

A 4‑hour Elliott wave count shows XRP is in the midst of Wave 3, the strongest impulsive wave—following completion of Waves 1 and 2. It's currently consolidating for Wave 4 within $2.99–$3.24 Fibonacci retracement levels, setting up for continued move higher .

Similarly, daily timeframe analysis also confirms this impulsive phase (Wave 3 of 3), with invalidation if price drops below $2.23 .

2. Targets within wave 3

Potential targets for Wave 3 vary:

**$13–$15** based on Elliott Wave setup, amounting to a possible ~600% rally .

More conservative estimate of $13–$15, extending potentially to $26–$33 depending on extension .

3. Wave 5 & the future path

Some analysts, including Steph_iscrypto and Binance Square data, believe XRP is approaching Wave 5—the final bullish leg following completion of Wave 4 .

Others propose this rally is still in Wave 3, and Wave 5 may come much later, possibly propelling XRP into double-digit territory (beyond $10, potentially toward $20–$30) .
