Having been involved in the crypto space for five years, I now focus full-time on analyzing market charts. Today, I’ve been watching XRP and noticed that the 1-hour chart is quite interesting—on the surface, it seems frustrating, but in reality, it hides many variables.

【The News Isn’t That Desperate】

You might have heard that XRP has fallen quite hard over the past six months, and some institutions predict it won’t return to $2 until 2026. But I want to ask—does the market really follow these predictions obediently? Don’t forget, the most brutal reversals often happen when things seem most hopeless. Once there’s a glimmer of hope in the Ripple lawsuit, the price could surge overnight. Right now, it looks weak, but who’s to say it’s not quietly accumulating energy?

【Where Is the Chart Stuck?】

XRP is currently oscillating around 1.87, facing three resistance levels above: 1.876, 1.90, and 1.95—each tougher than the last. But what about the support below? 1.77 is the last fortress; below that, there’s little defense. Interestingly, although the MACD is still fluctuating below the zero line, the death cross is clearly approaching the golden cross—this usually indicates brewing for a big move. Trading volume is shrinking, but buying interest is quietly rising—smart money is eating up the market in the shadows.

【The Next Two Paths】

If 1.77 holds, the first target is a rebound to 1.876. If it breaks through that, the next goal is to test the 1.90-1.95 range. But be cautious—there’s heavy resistance above, and each step upward could be knocked back.

If 1.77 also breaks, then the next support levels are around 1.70 or even lower. However, from the weekly chart, XRP has already been cut from high levels, so there’s theoretically room for a rebound—key is whether it can stabilize again.

Honestly, how it moves in the next few days depends on whether 1.77 can hold.
