XRP under pressure: the decisive 10 days that could change everything
As XRP seems stuck in a waiting zone, technical indicators point to an imminent turning point. Between resistance and support, the next sessions could shape a decisive trajectory for Ripple’s cryptocurrency.
XRP facing a critical technical setup
For several days, XRP has been moving within a symmetrical triangle pattern — a typical formation of equilibrium between buyers and sellers. Current support stands at $2.80, while resistance is capped at $3.10. This structure, marked by progressively tightening price action, suggests an upcoming breakout.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a value of 49, signaling a market in wait-and-see mode, neither overbought nor oversold. At the same time, declining volumes reflect reduced volatility, often a precursor to a sudden burst of market activity.
The 50-day and 100-day moving averages also act as key pivots. They could reinforce an upward move if resistance is broken, or serve as support in case of a pullback. This relative stability heightens the tension on XRP’s chart, making any future breakout especially significant.
Two opposing scenarios and a 10-day horizon
The bullish scenario would materialize if XRP breaks through the $3.10 resistance. Such a move could unlock potential towards $3.30–$3.50, areas that coincide with previous consolidation phases. If accompanied by a pickup in volume, this could reignite buying interest and start a new short-term uptrend.
Conversely, a drop below $2.80 would pave the way for a deeper correction, with an initial target around $2.70. The 200-day EMA, often viewed as a long-term trend gauge, is also located in this zone, reinforcing its importance as a defensive threshold.
This dual scenario fits within a narrow window: the next 10 days. Analysts highlight this timeframe, which could coincide with regulatory announcements, macroeconomic shifts, or simply a technical market trigger. Either way, this period looks like a pivotal moment when XRP will have to choose a clear direction.
