XRP traded largely sideways this week, showing modest resilience even as broader crypto markets experienced liquidity-driven volatility. Over the past seven days the token gained roughly 1%, holding ground while several major assets moved lower.
Several technical analysts remain optimistic, arguing XRP may be approaching a long-term inflection point that has historically preceded sizable rebounds. Analyst JD points out that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing a major multi-year trendline that previously corresponded with cycle lows. JD says the current setup mirrors earlier periods that led into strong recoveries and suggests that, if this structure marks the market bottom, it could present a significant buying opportunity for long-term holders. His work also highlights clear “buy heavily” and “sell heavily” zones that may define a favorable accumulation range.
Crypto commentator MikybullCrypto likewise flagged a “critical level” that has historically triggered meaningful rallies. He claims that if past behavior repeats, XRP could potentially climb toward $12. Such a move, however, would likely require a convergence of positive factors: improved market sentiment, steady capital inflows into crypto, upward momentum among large-cap tokens, and clearer regulatory direction for XRP to bolster investor confidence.
Chart-focused analyst ChartNerd emphasized longer-term price structure via the Gaussian Channel, noting XRP’s tendency to form macro bottoms only after touching the channel’s lower regression band. He also pointed out that the current correction may not be complete because a point of control (POC) has not yet formed in the ongoing pullback, and that monthly ribbon indicators suggest the token could still be navigating a critical stage before a confirmed trend reversal.
At the time of reporting, XRP was trading around $1.48, down about 4.65% over the past 24 hours. While the technical readings and historical patterns some analysts cite are bullish, reaching targets like $12 would depend on broader market dynamics and continued supportive on-chain and macro signals.
