- XRP price hovers near $3.00 as traders eye the critical $3.10 “final boss” Gann Fan resistance.
- Analyst The Great Mattsby says a clean breakout could trigger a powerful moonshot rally.
- Technicals show mixed signals, but a confirmed flip of resistance to support may fuel an explosive uptrend.
Respected market analyst Matt Hughes, better known on X as The Great Mattsby, thinks XRP is closer than ever to a defining moment. On August 28, he posted, “Will XRP still moon? Absolutely! It’s not if, it’s when,” pointing straight to a multi-year Gann Fan chart as his proof.
Mattsby claims XRP has already flipped several historic resistance lines into support. Now, the token is pressing against what he calls the “final boss” angle — the last major diagonal barrier standing in the way of a full-on breakout that could change the trajectory of XRP for good.
How the Gann Fan Sets the Stage for XRP
For those not familiar, a Gann Fan uses angled lines projected from past highs or lows to show shifting zones of support and resistance. Price often reacts to these diagonals the same way it does with horizontal levels, which is why traders obsess over them.
In Mattsby’s chart, stretching from XRP’s wild 2017 run, through the 2021 surge, and now into the 2025 rally, every big move has stalled or reversed at one of these angles before eventually flipping it into support.
The “final boss” sits right around the $3.00–$3.10 range, a price zone that’s slapped down rallies for nearly eight years. A clean breakout and retest above it, Mattsby argues, would open the gates to a brand-new uptrend.
Why Breaking $3.10 Could Be Huge
Technical traders know the drill: when resistance flips to support and holds, the trend usually strengthens. If XRP manages a weekly close above that last Gann angle — ideally with some serious trading volume behind it — it could erase a structural ceiling that has capped the token since 2018.
That would dramatically shift sentiment, paving the way for XRP to not only revisit old highs but maybe even push into fresh territory that long-time holders have been dreaming of.
Risks Still Linger for XRP
At the time of writing, XRP hovers close to $3.00, pausing after a heated summer rally. Momentum indicators look mixed. The broader uptrend is still alive, but analysts warn of bearish divergences that hint at the risk of a false breakout.
Until XRP closes above that $3.10 mark and retests it successfully, caution is the name of the game. Traders who chase too early might get caught in another rejection, something XRP has delivered plenty of times in its history.
What Traders Should Look For Next
Mattsby’s bullish scenario rests on three clear signals:
- A decisive weekly close above $3.10.
- A retest that confirms $3.10 as new support.
- A surge in volume that proves buyers are in control.
If all three conditions line up, it could mark a historic shift in XRP’s multi-year chart structure.
Bottom Line
The Great Mattsby isn’t tossing vague predictions; his setup is testable. XRP has already reclaimed earlier Gann angles, and if this final boss falls, it could trigger the moonshot rally holders have been waiting on for years.
Until then, patience and risk management matter most — but if XRP clears the barrier, the next chapter in its story might be explosive.
