XRP has been slowly doing something that doesn’t show up on most traders’ screens. The market focuses on daily candles and short‑term noise, but the XRP price is completing a textbook macro breakout retest on lower timeframes; a setup that historically precedes large continuation moves.
Analyst ‘Javon Marks’ who shared the chart notes that XRP is showing strength off what appears to be a retest of a major macro breakout level. If this retest holds, it could provide the springboard for a move toward $15 and beyond. For those watching the right levels, the message is clear: XRP may only be getting ready to go.
The chart shared in the thread highlights a multi‑year consolidation pattern that XRP broke out from earlier this year. After surging above the breakout zone, price pulled back to retest the former resistance as support; a classic technical move that separates sustainable breakouts from false ones.

On lower timeframes, XRP is now showing bullish divergence and higher lows, signaling that sellers are losing steam and buyers are stepping in at the retest level. The analyst emphasizes that this retest is happening on macro timeframes, meaning it carries more weight than a simple daily swing. When a breakout gets validated by a clean retest of the original breakout zone, the follow‑through tends to be significant.

The Path Forward: $15+ in Play
The target zone highlighted is $15 or higher, which aligns with long‑standing Fibonacci extensions and historical resistance levels from previous cycles. The analyst notes that the current setup mirrors the structure that preceded XRP’s last major rally, where a similar breakout retest led to a sustained multi‑month run.
For the setup to remain valid, XRP needs to hold the retest zone on weekly closes. A breakdown below that level would invalidate the bullish thesis, but for now, price action on lower timeframes is leaning bullish. If the retest holds and momentum builds, the move toward $15 could unfold faster than most expect.
The real fireworks, according to the analyst, begin once XRP confirms this retest and resumes its upward trajectory. With macro structure aligned and lower timeframes showing early strength, the stage is set for what could be the next major leg in XRP’s long‑term trend.
