XRP: The Calm Before the Storm?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

XRP<\/a><\/strong> is trading around $1.96<\/strong>, slightly up, but this stability masks a strong tension between buyers and sellers. On-chain data shows negative funding rates, a sign of bearish sentiment<\/strong>, even as the price holds firm. This divergence between sentiment and price action often creates the conditions for a violent bullish reversal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, when pessimism dominates without further price declines, short sellers find themselves trapped. This is the case here: An accumulation of short positions<\/strong> could serve as fuel for a rapid surge if a key resistance level were to break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $2.00<\/strong> zone is capturing all the attention. More than just a psychological threshold, it concentrates numerous liquidation orders<\/strong>. A breakout with volume would trigger a short squeeze, transforming a simple rise into a vertical rally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenarios: How Far Can XRP Go?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From a technical standpoint, XRP<\/a> is forming a consolidation structure reminiscent of past pre-explosive phases. The key support between $1.78 and $1.85<\/strong> remains crucial: as long as it holds, pressure increases on sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to analyst Ali Martinez, a falling wedge is forming, a pattern often indicative of a bullish reversal. A close above $2.00<\/strong> would open the path toward $2.23<\/strong>, then potentially $2.50<\/strong> if momentum confirms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely, a sharp rejection below $2.00<\/strong>, combined with Bitcoin<\/a> weakness, could invalidate this scenario. A break below $1.78<\/strong> would then expose XRP to a deeper correction toward $1.50<\/strong>. Everything now hinges on one key factor: Volume as it approaches $2.00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
