XRP Bull Eyes $5-$8 in 2027 Despite Short-Term Headwinds

ChartNerd, an analyst posting on X, said XRP could reach $5 to $8 in 2027 while warning that the token may weaken further before the end of this year. He based the forecast on a long-term chart pattern he said has guided the Ripple-linked asset through past market cycles, and he expects fourth-quarter turbulence and a reset before a later expansion. XRP was trading near $1.25, about 65% below its record high of $3.65 set in July 2025, after losing support at $1.30; ChartNerd said that unless it reclaims that level, it could fall to between $1.16 and $1.04.
