XRP (Ripple) has reached a major accumulation zone, raising the possibility of a short-term 60% surge. Amidst this, predictions of breaking the $4 all-time high and warnings of a 2018-style crash are in a tense standoff, drawing significant market attention.

According to crypto media outlet Watcher.Guru on September 1 (local time), crypto analyst Celal Kucuker analyzed that XRP has reached its anticipated key support level within a narrowing triangular convergence zone after a sharp rise. He stated that if an upward breakout occurs from the current price level, there could be an additional short-term upside potential of approximately 60%, reaching $2.20, and specified a breakout target price of $2.1743. Conversely, if this support structure fails to hold, the downside support line is expected to form around $1.3768.

Kucuker also maintains an even more optimistic price outlook for the mid to long term. He stated that if the two-week candle that began on August 31 holds above the green trend line on the chart, XRP could break its all-time high before the end of the year, setting a long-term target price of $4 for 2026. He added that if the upward momentum continues as it is now, XRP could quickly surge to $2.50 with just a single candle.

Conversely, opposing analyses warning of a decline are also in a tense standoff. Market analyst Anthony Di Pizio pointed to the massive crash of 2018 as a warning sign, cautioning that if history repeats itself, the XRP price could plummet not to $2.20 but to $0.18. He analyzed that the recent drop below the $1 mark itself is a clear warning sign that traders should prepare for further declines.

Experts assess that current XRP price predictions show extreme polarization. With bullish arguments targeting $2.20 in the short term and $4 in the long term, clashing with bearish warnings of a crash to $0.18, the clear future direction of the market is expected to be determined by which way it breaks out of the current convergence zone.
