Cold Blooded Shiller, a trader followed by 344,000 people on X, believes XRP is about to make a decisive move. At the heart of his prediction is a three-day candle close as the key signal, and a potential break of the descending line on the chart. This is the setup that could send XRP "straight to $5," argues the chart analyst.
For now, the XRP price sits at $3.04, with the resistance zone between $3.20 and $3.30 — levels that bulls have failed to clear since August.
Shiller’s chart shows a clear downtrend line compressing price action. Should that ceiling give way, the next target is $4.20, with $5 as the extension.
That would be a 64% rally from the current price.
Such an optimistic call is not without precedent. Last November, XRP jumped from $0.56 to $1.34 in just three weeks after a similar pattern resolved higher. Earlier this year, it surged from $1.50 to $3.80 in under two months. The newest price prediction is pointing to this same explosive behavior as the reason a quick move to $5 is on the table right now.
Behind XRP price chart
The market backdrop adds fuel to the prediction. Open interest in XRP futures is back above $8.64 billion, the highest since July, and funding rates are tilting positive, signaling that traders are already positioning for upside.
If the breakout sticks, XRP’s market value could expand by more than $100 billion, taking it to the $270 billion range and forcing comparisons with Ethereum’s standing.
