Here is an objective summary of the price action for December 7, 2025, on XRP/USDT, based exclusively on institutional analysis (ICT).
1. Context: Accumulation and Liquidity Engineering
During the first part of the day, price evolved within a consolidation profile. This phase allowed for "Liquidity Engineering," building up stop orders below relative lows (Sell Side Liquidity) and above relative highs (Buy Side Liquidity).
2. The Manipulation (Judas Swing / SSL Raid)
Mid-afternoon volatility kicked in:
SSL Sweep: The market violently took out the 2.00 psychological support and the previous Major Swing Low (1.9950).
Turtle Soup: This run below the low failed to induce bearish continuation. Instead, it served to trigger early buyers' Stop Losses and trap breakout traders.
Reaction: Price reacted instantly, leaving a long lower wick, indicating heavy absorption of sell orders by smart money (Accumulation).
3. Expansion and Displacement
Following the liquidity grab, a bullish impulse move triggered, characterized by strong Displacement:
The up-close candles were large with little to no retracement, signaling clear institutional sponsorship.
Invalidation of Supply: Price sliced through the bearish OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) of the previous dealing range with zero rejection. This indicates the Bears have lost control.
4. Market Structure Shift (MSS)
The candle closes (specifically on the H1 timeframe) validated a trend reversal:
BOS/MSS: By closing above significant recent highs (notably 2.0723), the market confirmed a bullish Market Structure Shift.
Targeting Buy Side Liquidity (BSL): Price was drawn as a magnet toward the External Range Liquidity sitting above the previous range highs.
Technical Conclusion
The day can be summarized by a classic ICT "Purge & Revert" cycle:
Sweep of internal and external liquidity (below 1.9950).
Range reintegration.
Expansion toward external liquidity (above 2.0723).
The Daily Bias has flipped from neutral/bearish to bullish following the strong H1 close, suggesting the current "Draw on Liquidity" is the next major pool around the 2.10 level.
