XRP is not collapsing... but it is also not taking off.

The price moves within a narrow range where each candle counts, and this phase usually precedes strong movements. What we are seeing is not confusion: it is market compression.

After bouncing strongly from the $1.77 area, XRP has managed to stabilize above $1.90, a technical and psychological level that now serves as the market's axis. The question is not whether XRP will move, but in which direction.

What the price is confirming (and what it is not)

From a structural perspective, XRP maintains a sequence of higher lows, an early sign of accumulation. Furthermore, the price is holding above the simple moving average of 100 hours, indicating that buyers are still defending the territory.

However, the momentum does not accompany with the same strength.

The RSI hovers around the neutral zone (50) → clear indecision

The MACD loses strength in positive territory → momentum exhaustion

The price repeatedly fails near $1.95–$1.96 → active supply

This tells us something important: the market is waiting for confirmation, not reacting out of emotion.

The zone that defines the next movement

This range is the current battleground:

Key support: $1.90 – $1.865

Critical resistance: $1.955 – $2.00

👉 As long as XRP remains within this range, the market is accumulating energy.

Bullish scenario: when the bias changes

For the momentum to truly tilt in favor of buyers, XRP needs:

A clear close above $1.955

Confirmation with increasing volume

Holding above $2.00

If this happens, the next natural targets are:

$2.05

$2.12 – $2.15 (relevant supply zone)

This is where many traders waiting for confirmation enter late… and where the movements accelerate.

Bearish scenario: the risk that should not be ignored

If the price decisively loses $1.90, the structure weakens:

First support: $1.865 (Fibo 50%)

Then: $1.84 → $1.80

Loss of $1.80 opens the door to $1.77 again

This would not be a collapse, but rather a liquidity cleanup, something common before major reversals.

The key that many overlook

In this type of structures, anticipating is more dangerous than waiting.

Professional traders do not guess:

They expect a breakout

Confirm with volume

Manage risk

Sometimes, not trading is also a strategy.

Conclusion

XRP is in a technical decision zone.

It's not a time for hype, it's a time for precise reading.

The market appears calm, but volatility is not gone... it is just charging.

Stay alert.

The best opportunities arise when the market stops talking and starts moving.
