These Are The XRP Price Targets You Need To Know Now: Cubic Analytics Founder
Cubic Analytics founder Caleb Franzen says XRP is entering a decisive phase after months of compression, with the price structure implying a path toward the $6â$11 zone so long as the market defends what he calls the key risk line at $2.68. XRP Price Targets In a wide-ranging discussion on the Thinking Crypto podcast with host Tony Edward, Franzen stressed that his conclusions are grounded in âprice, structure, and statistical signalsâ rather than narrative. âItâs the chart itself. Itâs the structure itself,â he said. âSo long as we stay above $2.68, weâre going much higher.â Franzenâs XRP view comes out of the same template he applies across digital assets: identify trend integrity, map the impulse-consolidation rhythm, and translate it into a ladder of Fibonacci extension targets on a logarithmic scale. In XRPâs case, he argues the market traced higher highs and then âtightened upâ into a controlled series of lower highsâwhat he calls a classic volatility coil that âallows price to reset⊠for the next leg higher.â Related Reading: Social Media Turns Bearish On XRP: Is This A Buy Signal? He then anchors objective targets to that structure: using the most recent consolidation leg, he cites the 161.8% extension near roughly $4.40 and the 261.8% extension around $6. From the larger Q1 swingâQ1 highs to Q1 lowsâhe adds a second band of objectives at approximately $5.40 and $11.55. The message, in his words: âThose are the price targets that you have to be aware of if youâre holding and investing in XRP⊠so long as we stay above $2.68.â Risk management is central to how Franzen frames the trade. Rather than a maximalist forecast, he sets a clear invalidation level and treats it as a mechanical decision point. âIf we fall below $2.68, you can get stopped out. You can reduce some of your exposure. You can slow down your DCA,â he said. âItâs okay to be wrong. Itâs just not okay to stay wrong.â The Macro Angle Although the podcast also covered Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, Franzenâs macro and cross-asset framework is meant to contextualize, not overshadow, the XRP setup. He repeatedly described himself as âtime agnostic,â declining to pin outcomes to a specific month or quarter and insisting that the tape, not the calendar, dictates probability. âIâve been sharing [cycle] targets since the middle of 2023,â he noted, adding that the prudent path is to keep raising targets within an uptrend while letting invalidation handle the rest. That stance is informed by what he characterizes as resilient, supportive macro conditionsâgood enough for risk assets to trend without demanding a weak US dollar as a crutch. He pointed to strong real activity data and improving earnings assumptions as evidence that risk appetite is not being forced; itâs developing naturally.

In credit, he underscored tight spreads and high-yield corporates printing multi-year highsââand if we adjust them for the dividend yield, theyâre trading at all-time highsââa combination that, in his experience, does not occur when markets are bracing for imminent stress. âAs weâre looking at the weight of the evidence here, everything is coming together,â he said. âHigher highs and higher lows, increasing risk appetite, decent macro conditions, the Fed is cutting interest rates⊠We have to continue to have an upward bias.â That macro lens matters for XRP, he argues, because it reinforces the primacy of structure over story. He criticized a common assumption that crypto rallies must coincide with a falling dollar, highlighting that the US Dollar Index (DXY) has been roughly flat since mid-April while Bitcoinâand, by extension, broader crypto betaâadvanced materially. He also described a composite lens that prices Bitcoin against a basket of global currencies (effectively offsetting BTC/USD by DXY) and said that index is making fresh all-time highs too, reflecting âweak global fiat currencies, not necessarily just a weak dollar.â The implication for XRP: if the broader liquidity and risk backdrop continues to reward trend persistence, then the technical coil and extension ladder have a cleaner runway. At press time, XRP traded at $2.8593. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
