⬤ XRP has moved sideways for more than a year. The price grinds through what chart readers call a long accumulation phase. The slow action tries traders - yet it also sets the stage for a larger move later. A fresh chart match shows today's setup mirrors late 2016, just before XRP surged.
⬤ The 2016 tight range held for 483 days. Price hugged the same narrow band then broke out hard in early 2017. During that stretch XRP hit identical levels again and again with little wobble storing energy until the range failed. Shift to 2025 and the picture looks almost the same. XRP has traded flat for 366 days shuttling between about two dollars plus the mid two area. Both eras share the same dull drift - price stays locked inside a clear box and offers no hint of its next step.
⬤ At the moment XRP changes hands at $2.0057, right on the floor of the 2025 box. The likeness counts because long quiet spells rarely persist. When price stays squeezed for such a span it stores fuel for a sharper move once it chooses a course. Whether XRP repeats the 2016 script is unknown - yet the outline is present and observers watch closely.
