A crypto analyst has noted that XRP has finally broken out of its long consolidation phase, signaling the onset of a major price rally. He further predicts that the XRP price is on the verge of ending an 11-year SuperCycle, which could pave the way for a surge to $3.4 once finalized.
SuperCycle To Trigger $3.4 Surge
Skyrexio, a TradingView crypto analyst, has released an XRP price analysis, forecasting a possible increase to $3.4. In the chart analysis, Skyrexio disclosed that XRP has recently broken out of its four-year consolidation period, potentially signaling the start of a bullish uptrend.

Unsurprisingly, the total duration of the consolidation period coincides with the number of years XRP has been involved in a legal battle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Following the lawsuit, the XRP price crashed significantly, staying range-bound for years as it struggled with legal and regulatory challenges.
Notably, Skyrexio’s bullish forecast for the XRP price relies on the Elliott Wave Theory, a technical indicator that predicts price movements of an asset by identifying recurrent long-term price patterns. The analyst noted that XRP’s first Elliott Wave began in 2013, almost 11 years ago. After that, the cryptocurrency experienced a price correction, followed by the legendary Wave 3.
Over the last three years, the price of XRP had been trading sideways, failing to experience gains that would push its price significantly above the $0.5 mark. Skyrexio has revealed that this prolonged sideways movement can be interpreted as a corrective triangle pattern in Wave 4.
The analyst revealed that XRP has successfully broken out of this triangle pattern, signaling the end of its correction phase. He suggests that the cryptocurrency is now in Wave 5, the last wave of its first global SuperCycle.
Based on XRP’s Elliott Wave analysis, Skyrexio has outlined two bullish targets for the XRP price. The analyst forecasts that XRP could rise between $2.5 and $3.8 at the end of this SuperCycle. He emphasized that the higher price target at $3.8 is more likely to be achieved, as historical data shows that in 90% of cases, Wave 5 experiences a higher high than Wave 3.
Concluding his analysis, Skyrexio pointed out key bullish indicators on his price chart, including a bullish reversal bar and green dot at the end of Subway C. He suggested that these bullish signs, appearing on the monthly time frame, are strong indicators of a potential upward move that could drive the XRP price to its final bullish target.
