Finance Expert Says XRP Could Rise 60% If It Passes This Test

XRP faces a key technical test that could determine whether the cryptocurrency can extend its current recovery toward higher price levels.

Crypto commentator Austin Hilton said XRP could record a move of nearly 60% if it holds $1.50, breaks above $1.55, and sustains the breakout.

Hilton explained the setup in a video attached to his X post. He compared the current price structure with XRP’s previous 56.83% advance and used that historical move to calculate a potential target near $2.43.

Hilton Identifies $1.55 as the Immediate Test

Hilton said XRP traded around $1.50 when he recorded the video and identified that area as an important level for the cryptocurrency to defend. He then pointed to $1.55 as the immediate hurdle XRP must clear.

According to Hilton, XRP needs to hold around $1.50 before it can challenge $1.55. After XRP breaks above $1.55, he said the cryptocurrency must stay above that level to keep the breakout intact.

Hilton described $1.55 as the upper boundary of XRP’s recent descending structure. He said a sustained move above that level could open the way toward higher Fibonacci levels.

He identified $2.18, $2.40, and $2.57 as important Fibonacci levels on the chart. Hilton said these levels could come into play if XRP completes the breakout.

Previous XRP Rally Supports the 60% Projection

Hilton based his projection on XRP’s previous 56.83% advance. He pointed to a move from approximately $0.99 to $1.55 and said that rally provides the historical comparison for the current setup.

If XRP repeats a similar percentage move from its current price area, Hilton calculated that the cryptocurrency could reach approximately $2.43. That would represent a nearly 60% rise from the levels he discussed.

Hilton also reviewed XRP’s decline toward the $1.27–$1.30 area. He attributed that decline to several broader developments, including unemployment concerns, Federal Reserve developments, and geopolitical events.

He said XRP has since returned toward the $1.50 region. In his view, the next step requires XRP to defend $1.50, then break above $1.55 with enough momentum to stay above the level.

For XRP, Hilton’s immediate focus remains clear: hold $1.50, break above $1.55, and sustain the move. If XRP completes those steps, his chart analysis points toward the $2.18–$2.57 range, with $2.43 representing the projected target from a repeat of the previous 56.83% advance.
