XRP (Ripple) has captured trader attention as its price squeezes into the final phase of a months-long symmetrical triangle. After extended sideways movement, volatility has dropped to levels that typically precede significant directional moves, setting up what could be a decisive moment for the token's trajectory.
Technical Setup Shows Classic Compression
The 3-day XRP/USDT chart reveals a well-defined pattern with descending resistance from the mid-year peak around $3.10–$3.20 and ascending support from the $1.80 zone. According to STEPH IS CRYPTO, "Momentum is building — whichever side moves first will likely set the trend into early 2026."
Price recently bounced from $2.10 support and now sits around $2.42, showing an ongoing standoff between bulls and bears. A sustained hold above $2.30 could open the path toward $2.70 and $3.10 resistance. Breaking below $2.00 would signal weakening bullish conviction and potentially push price toward the $1.60–$1.80 demand zone.
Broader Context
This consolidation follows a volatile summer that has since cooled across crypto markets. Macro headwinds including sluggish liquidity and economic uncertainty have dampened speculative activity, though XRP maintains institutional interest through Ripple's expanding payment network. Historically, these low-volatility compression phases in XRP have preceded sharp directional moves, often triggered by macro or regulatory catalysts.
What's Next
With the triangle apex approaching, XRP's next major move appears imminent. The $2.00 support and $3.10 resistance levels are key markers to watch for directional confirmation that could establish the dominant trend through the rest of 2025.
