The crypto market often rewards patience, and XRP now stands at a moment that could define its next major move. While short-term traders focus on daily fluctuations, long-term technical structures quietly shape the bigger narrative. XRP’s weekly chart now reflects a setup that many analysts believe the market continues to underestimate.

XRP Captain recently shared a TradingView chart highlighting a descending channel that has controlled XRP’s price action since late 2024. He argues that investors are “not bullish enough” as the asset approaches a critical resistance level near $1.43. According to his outlook, March 2026 could mark a decisive turning point if price breaks above the upper boundary of this long-standing structure.

A Year-Long Descending Channel Nears Resolution

Since late 2024, XRP has traded within a clearly defined descending channel on the weekly timeframe. The pattern formed through a sequence of lower highs and lower lows, reflecting sustained selling pressure after earlier rallies. However, price now presses firmly against the channel’s upper resistance line.

Repeated tests of resistance typically weaken the supply. If bulls secure a strong weekly close above the descending trendline, the breakout would invalidate the bearish structure that has governed XRP for over a year. Technical theory suggests that prolonged compression often precedes sharp expansion, especially when price coils within narrowing boundaries.

XRP has demonstrated this behavior in previous cycles. Extended consolidation phases have historically preceded aggressive upside movements once structural resistance broke decisively.

Strengthened Fundamentals Support the Setup

Technical patterns rarely operate in isolation. XRP’s broader environment has improved significantly over the past year. The resolution of Ripple’s lawsuit removed a major regulatory overhang and restored institutional clarity around XRP’s status.

Ripple also launched RLUSD in December 2024, expanding ecosystem utility and reinforcing XRP Ledger development. If the technicals turn bullish, these developments make a strong case for investors to start pouring money back into the asset.

At the same time, broader crypto liquidity has gradually stabilized following periods of volatility. Large-cap digital assets have begun to attract renewed attention, positioning XRP for potential participation in a wider market recovery.

Why March 2026 Could Be Pivotal

XRP Captain’s projection centers on timing as much as structure. The descending channel has reached maturity, volatility has contracted, and the price is currently testing resistance levels directly. March 2026 aligns with the natural culmination of this technical formation.

If XRP confirms a breakout with strong volume and weekly conviction, traders could witness accelerated upside driven by sidelined buyers and short covering. While no setup guarantees outcome, the current structure places XRP at a critical crossroads.

If resistance breaks decisively, the market may soon discover that it was never bullish enough on XRP.
