Crypto analyst Will Taylor, known as Cryptoinsightuk on X, said XRP’s market-cap dominance still shows a bullish structure despite its recent pullback from a key range high. His latest chart of XRP.D maps a potential long-term move toward 31.26% dominance, far above the current area near 3.315%.

XRP needs to push past $1.51 before any real breakout becomes possible, according to market commentator Matt Hughes — and one analyst thinks that moment could arrive this week, but not before the market knocks out the weakest holders first. A Pattern Years In The Making MichaelXBT, a widely followed crypto analyst, says XRP has spent months forming a falling wedge on its weekly chart — a structure that typically points toward an upside move once price breaks above the upper boundary.

Since then it has shed about 60%, landing near $1.37 amid a broader market selloff that took hold in October of that year. The upper boundary of the wedge stopped XRP cold multiple times. Attempts near $3 in late 2025 failed. A January 2026 push stalled at $2.41. Now, with price pressing into the narrowest part of the structure, Mic
