I just reviewed the XRP/BTC chart and something interesting is happening. According to what analysts are commenting, the monthly chart is about to break above the Ichimoku cloud for the first time since 2018 — which is quite rare. If that breakout is confirmed on the long-term chart, theoretically XRP would be positioned to surpass Bitcoin in terms of relative strength. Now, in the short term, the movement was ugly. XRP plummeted from $2.39 down to $2.21 with very high volume (256M, almost 142% above average ). But here’s the interesting part of the 1-hour chart: after that low, demand started absorbing the selling. The price tried to recover but stalled at $2.31-$2.32, which was the support that had been broken. Buyers have been defending that range several times, suggesting a base is forming. The chart remains within a descending channel, so the short term remains bearish. But if XRP manages to recover that $2.31-$2.32 range and hold $2.21 as support, then that volume liquidation begins to look like a typical shakeout followed by a retest. In that scenario, the chart would make its way back toward $2.39. Another thing to monitor is the XRP/BTC chart. If that Ichimoku breakout is confirmed on the monthly chart, it increases the chances that declines in XRP will be bought more aggressively during risk rotations. For now, $2.21 is the line to watch.

XRP is currently stuck in the $1.43-$1.45 zone and finally dropped 3.3% to $1.41 yesterday. Trading volume surged 74% during the sell-off, indicating selling pressure remains dominant even as some whales and spot ETFs continue to add positions. Now, the price has fallen further to the $1.33 level based on the latest data. From a technical perspective, what’s interesting is the structure that’s forming — there’s a compression pattern between declining resistance and rising support, like a tightening triangle. Some analysts say this signals a major move is being prepared after this consolidation phase ends. The previous support level of $1.40 was crucial, but it has now been broken. If XRP can stay above $1.33, there’s a chance for a bounce back to $1.45 and $1.55. But if it continues to fall, it could drop even further into the $1.00 zone. Traders are now focused on whether this compression pattern will end with a breakout or a breakdown. The high volume yesterday indicates significant activity behind the scenes. Worth watching for next week.
