Analyst: XRP Will Shake You Out This Week Before the Breakout Begins. Here’s why

XRP has entered a tight consolidation range just above a major support trendline. Crypto analyst Crypto Michael (@MichaelXBT) has warned the community that volatility could increase before the next major move begins.

In a recent post, the analyst stated, “XRP will shake you out this week. Then the breakout will begin.” He added that the move is by design and claimed, “They want the masses out.”

Tracking XRP’s Next Move

His chart shows the asset trading inside a large falling wedge on the weekly timeframe. The structure started forming after XRP hit its peak in 2025. Since then, it has produced lower highs while continuing to defend a long-term ascending support trendline.

The triangle now sits close to its apex. That leaves XRP with little room before a decisive move takes place.

XRP Holds Above Long-Term Support

The chart places XRP near $1.36 while the price continues to hold above the lower trendline around $1.30. Buyers have defended that area several times, with the most recent breakdown in early February.

That support level remains important because it has prevented a deeper correction despite repeated selling pressure from the upper resistance line. Each rejection from resistance has produced smaller pullbacks, showing that sellers have not regained full control. The structure still favors a major move once XRP escapes the falling wedge pattern.

Resistance Remains the Major Barrier

The descending resistance trendline remains the main barrier for bulls. XRP has failed to close above it since the broader correction started after the 2025 peak. The line now intersects near $1.45 and $1.50. XRP recently tested that zone again before pulling back slightly. That rejection aligns with Crypto Michael’s expectation of a short-term shakeout before a breakout attempt begins.

XRP Breakout Targets Start to Form

Weekly candles on the chart have become tighter as XRP trades deeper into the wedge. Price swings have also narrowed significantly compared to earlier phases of the correction. Crypto Michael believes XRP could produce one more move lower before momentum shifts upward.

If XRP breaks above the descending resistance with strong volume, traders will likely focus on previous resistance zones between $1.80 and $2.20. A confirmed breakout could also reopen the path toward higher levels from the 2025 rally.

The larger weekly structure still shows XRP holding above its long-term support trendline despite months of consolidation. For now, it remains trapped between support and resistance. That balance may not last much longer.
