TL;DR
- XRP is trading within a triangle, with $3.44 marked as the key breakout resistance.
- Bullish Engulfing candles and strong support zones point to a possible upward move.
- Compression continues as liquidity tightens, mirroring setups that preceded past rallies.
Weekly Structure Builds Toward Breakout Zone
XRP has continued to trade within a symmetrical triangle pattern on the weekly chart. The structure has held for nearly a year, with the price now moving close to the upper trendline near $3.44. According to market analyst EGRAG CRYPTO, this level marks a potential breakout point. If cleared, XRP could target a move toward $7.34 based on the range of the formation.
The setup includes multiple Bullish Engulfing candles, which in past cycles have appeared before upward moves. These patterns have been noted in early 2025, with similar formations seen earlier in XRP’s trading history. EGRAG pointed out,
“The next time we see a Bullish Engulfing Candle on the weekly chart, XRP could shoot up to new all-time highs.”
Interestingly, the current weekly chart shows XRP remaining above a key support denoted as the Bull Market Support Band. This support has remained intact in recent weeks, as observed from the chart where it is drawn as a curved ribbon. It must hold for any structure to remain intact.
Source: EGRAG CRYPTO/XEGRAG mentioned that price movement inside this band has been stable. Traders have continued to defend the range, with no confirmation yet of a breakdown. This suggests the market remains in a controlled phase while waiting for a clearer signal.
Support Levels Below Remain Active
Two levels on the downside have been marked as areas of interest in case of further weakness. One is $2.60, sitting near the center of the triangle. The other is $2.37, which is near the 0.618 retracement level. EGRAG noted this area could offer a final low before any potential rally. They said,
“If we hit $2.37 before the next rise, it’s your chance to buy cheap.”
XRP was priced at $2.72 at press time, reflecting a 3% decline in the past 24 hours and an 11% drop over the last week. Trading volume stands above $9 billion for the same period.
Compression Pattern Signals Move Ahead
Sistine Research has also found a tightening price range on the weekly chart. This would be a third compression phase since the last United States election, having all compressed at a higher price level. The present range is the narrowest of all.
Sistine noted that order book liquidity has thinned, and most activity is now centered near the current price. They added,
Expecting a large expansionary move from XRP soon (within months).
As the price action compresses, so does the orderbook, with most liquidity compressing into a tighter and tighter range.
This results in very large gaps in liquidity.

The setup mirrors previous cycles in 2017, 2021, and 2025, all of which led to strong price moves.
