In an X post, Stephanie stated that XRP is a decision point, with a multi-timeframe breakdown forming. She noted tight consolidation, with pressure building on the 4-hour timeframe. Meanwhile, there is a descending wedgeon the daily chart, while on the weekly, the price is sitting at major support with an RSI reset underway.  Related Reading Why XRP Price Is About To Stage The Breakout Of The Decade 3 days ago

The analyst stated that this is compression before expansion, which could trigger a bullish move. For the bullish trigger, XRP needs to break and hold $1.42, $1.45, and $1.60, which could then lead to a ‘fast’ rally to $2. However, there is also a bearish risk, as a liquidity sweep toward $1 and $0.90 could occur if XRP loses the range between $1.30 and $1.25.  Source: Chart from Stephanie on X

Commenting on the current XRP price action, Stephanie noted that the altcoin has been stuck in chop for months. However, she said that this setup is tighter than before, signaling that a big move is on the horizon. As such, the analyst remarked that it is not a matter of if, but of when and in what direction the altcoin will go. 

She alluded to the CLARITY Act, which she suggested could be a catalyst for XRP’s next move, as this week could prove pivotal for the crypto bill. Stephanie added that the market will not wait for the bill to pass before it reacts and that it could do so as soon as the bill’s markup is scheduled.  Now May Be A Good Entry Point

On-chain analytics platform Santiment suggestedthat now may be a good low-risk entry point for those looking to invest in XRP. This came as the platform cited its weekly social data, which shows that FUD for XRP is at its third-highest level in the past two years. The altcoin notably rebounded at its first and second-highest points of this FUD over the last two years.  Related Reading Crypto Expert Predicts A New XRP All-Time High Is In Sight As These 3 Technicals Align 3 days ago

Santiment noted that, historically, when this level of bearish commentary replaces bullish comments, the probability of a relief rallyincreases significantly. They added that price moves in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations. As such, with retail investors currently bearish on XRP after a 63% price drop over the last 9 months, this may be the kind of signal that helps investors capitalize on their bearishness.
