XRP is drawing renewed technical attention after a liquidity sweep below a key support zone on the 4-hour chart. Price briefly dipped into the demand area near $1.33-$1.35 before stabilizing around $1.37, a pattern that often signals stop-loss hunting ahead of a recovery attempt. The move has traders watching whether the bounce holds enough momentum to push toward the $1.48 resistance level at the top of the current range.
$1.33-$1.48 Range Defines the Battlefield
The chart structure has been unusually clean over recent weeks. XRP has been consolidating inside a defined corridor, with the $1.48 level acting as a ceiling where previous rallies have repeatedly stalled. As XRP Holds $1.33 Support as Price Oscillates Between Key Fibonacci Levels detailed, the pair has oscillated between these boundaries during an extended sideways phase, with neither bulls nor bears establishing clear control.
The recent wick below the lower demand zone suggests sell-side liquidity was briefly absorbed before price returned into range. This type of sweep does not guarantee a breakout, but it does reset the structural floor and can reduce near-term selling pressure.
Bullish Signals Build, but Demand Still Needs to Confirm
Technical setups point to a potential push higher if demand solidifies. Bullish Divergence Near $1.35 Points to $1.50 Breakout identified momentum signals near the mid-$1.30s that could support a move toward the $1.50 region if buyers return with conviction. The pattern aligns with the current liquidity sweep thesis: price clears weak hands below support, then stages a recovery.
However, caution is warranted. XRP Flat at $1.38: Sellers Cap Upside as Demand Weakens pointed out that the cryptocurrency has struggled to build sustained buying interest near current levels, with sellers repeatedly capping any upside attempts. Until XRP can decisively reclaim ground above $1.42-$1.44, the rally remains unconfirmed. Traders are now watching whether the demand zone holds and whether volume expands on any move toward the $1.48 ceiling.
