XRP Multi-Timeframe Breakdown: Here’s What Comes Next

XRP is once again under the spotlight as its price action shows signs of weakening across multiple timeframes. After a brief period of relative stability, recent breakdowns on the daily and intraday charts suggest a shift in market momentum that traders can’t ignore. As bearish pressure mounts and critical support levels begin to falter, XRP’s next move has become a major topic – will it find its footing soon, or is a deeper correction on the horizon? The XRP Key Bullish Divergence In an X update, prominent crypto analyst Gowanus Monster highlighted a critical technical development for XRP. According to his analysis, the token has completed a bearish Descending Triangle formation across multiple timeframes, a classic pattern that often signals continuation to the downside. Based on the measured move from this structure, the projected target is around $1.90, suggesting a potentially significant retracement if bearish momentum continues to build.

Zooming out to the weekly chart, the pattern is beginning to evolve into a well-defined structure, with clear upper and lower boundaries. Gowanus Monster noted that the current focus lies on identifying a higher low within this channel. He also pointed to a key principle: when a price rebound from the upper boundary of a descending channel fails to reach the lower boundary, instead bottoming out early, it often precedes a bullish breakout to the upside. This nuanced behavior, if confirmed, may set the stage for XRP to defy the current bearish structure and ignite a fresh rally beyond the confines of its channel. Bear Trap Scenario: When Oversold Meets Demand According to crypto analyst GemXBT, XRP remains firmly entrenched in a short-term downtrend, with price action currently trading below the 5, 10, and 20-period moving averages. This alignment of moving averages is a classic sign of sustained bearish momentum, suggesting that sellers continue to dominate the market in the near term.

Meanwhile, the MACD line remains below the signal line, indicating that downside pressure persists, and any potential recovery could face headwinds. From a price structure standpoint, GemXBT identified key support around $2.15, which could serve as a critical level for buyers to step in and defend. On the upside, resistance lies near $2.25, a zone that bulls would need to reclaim in order to shift short-term sentiment. The recent uptick in trading volume is worth noting, as it could introduce more volatility in the sessions ahead, either accelerating a breakdown if support fails or fueling a sharp recovery if sentiment flips.
