$XRP is trading near $2 at a moment that has caught the attention of technical analysts, who are watching the long-term market structure.
A recent post by crypto analyst Steph (@Steph_iscrypto) highlights a comparison that places XRP at a position he believes mirrors Bitcoinโs earliest parabolic phase. The claim rests entirely on chart structure, focusing on where the price sits in a multi-year cycle.
๐A Chart Built on Long-Term Structure
Steph shared a split chart comparing Bitcoinโs early cycle to XRPโs current setup. On the left, Bitcoin traded near $2 in 2012, just before its historic expansion. On the right, XRP trades around $2 in the present cycle. Both assets sit near the base of a rising parabolic curve.
The Bitcoin chart shows the price hugging the curve before acceleration followed. The XRP chart shows a similar relationship between price and curve.
In both cases, the price compresses near the lower boundary rather than extending far above it. That positioning matters to long-term technical traders. Steph summarized his view succinctly, writing, โThis XRP chart is hard to ignore.โ
๐Why the $2 Level Matters for XRP
XRP has spent a lot of time consolidating around $2 after a gradual decline from its peak in July 2025. On the chart Steph shared, that consolidation occurs exactly where the parabolic curve begins to steepen. Bitcoin showed similar behavior at the same stage of its cycle, just before its expansion phase began.
In Bitcoinโs case, its price did not explode immediately. The major expansion came later, and the chart comparison suggests XRP now occupies that preparatory zone. The chart reveals a significant structural similarity, and repeating this historical performance could propel XRP to unprecedented levels.
๐XRPโs Next Target
A key detail on Stephโs chart is the projected upside if XRP follows the full curve. Using the same 56,000% expansion shown on the chart and applying it to XRPโs current $2.09 price produces a theoretical level around $1,172.50. This figure does not represent a short-term expectation. It reflects the scale of movement implied by the structure if the parabolic trend develops fully over time.
XRP now trades at a price level that carries historical significance in this comparison. The chart presents this target as a function of historical price behavior rather than speculation. It anchors the projection in mathematical extension and suggests long-term positioning for investors.
