Analyst Ali Martinez has flagged a fresh breakout setup on XRP. He shared it on X before 07:48 UTC on September 14, 2026. The post read “IT’S HAPPENING!” alongside a chart showing the token pressed against resistance.

The Setup Martinez Is Watching

Martinez pointed to a descending triangle on XRP’s hourly chart. He said a sustained close above $1.38 would confirm the breakout and could open the door to a rally toward $1.60. 

XRP crossed that $1.38 threshold in the early hours of September 14, reaching $1.387 shortly after.

The move follows a volatile week. XRP fell 4.4% on September 10 before recovering the next session. It’s a pattern XRP has shown before. 

An earlier retest near the 0.5 Fibonacci level drew similar attention from chart analysts, who noted that sharp pullbacks in XRP have often preceded larger upside moves.

The Weekly Chart Shows Momentum Building

A TradingView weekly chart created on September 14, 2026, at 11:05 UTC shows XRP/USD at $1.3973, up 4.12% on the week. 

The chart shows a Parabolic SAR flip below price, a signal that often points to fresh upward momentum. 

MACD has turned positive again after a stretch of red bars through mid-2026. That shift lines up with the hourly breakout Martinez flagged. 

Zooming out, XRP remains well below its late-2024 spike but has built a steady base through 2026.

Resistance Doesn’t End at $1.60

A move to $1.60 wouldn’t clear the path entirely. Onchain data shows roughly 1.99 billion XRP were acquired around $1.60, with another 1.98 billion near $1.68. 

Those clusters could slow momentum even if the breakout holds. A similar ascending-triangle setup was flagged back in March, with analysts putting breakout odds near 65% against a resistance zone. 

That structure eventually gave way to the rally that took XRP into its current range.

What Happens From Here

The $1.31 to $1.35 zone remains the line in the sand. Holding it keeps Martinez’s bullish case intact. 

Losing it would turn a heavily accumulated demand zone into resistance instead. 

With XRP already trading above $1.38, the next few sessions will likely show whether buyers can hold the breakout or whether this turns into another failed attempt at the range highs.
