XRP Approaches Critical Support as Analysts Eye $3.50

XRP declined on Sunday as the digital currency continued to extend further into a key demand zone that played a crucial role in past cycles’ recovery patterns. Despite the decline, analysts say that the overall structure still points to a confirmed breakout pattern. 

XRP Holds Higher-Time-Frame Uptrend

Analyst Crypto Patel highlighted on X that XRP is currently trading 60% below its all-time high of $3.66 but still maintains a positive trend on a higher time frame. 

He further added that XRP has broken through a descending wedge pattern that resulted in a 600% move from the $0.60 breakout zone. He added that this is a key macro shift in XRP’s market structure. 

Cryptocurrency is currently consolidating within a $1.00-$1.60 reaccumulation range that was established following a breakout. He expressed his bullishness on the coin as long as it remains above $1.00. He also noted that he prefers entering a trade at $0.80-$0.70 to pick up any potential sweep to further discount levels.

He further added that token targets are $3.50, $5.00, $8.70, and $10+, but that a weekly close below $1.30 would invalidate the overall structure.

XRP Enters Key Demand Area as Momentum Slows

Crypto analyst BitGuru mentioned that XRP has fully unwound the consolidation. It is now entering a historical area of demand, where support has been strong in the past. 

This is a crucial area, and the speed of the movement is slowing down, indicating that the market participants are analyzing the next move carefully.
