XRP is starting to wake up again, and traders are noticing it. After getting back above $1.45, the mood around the token has shifted pretty quickly. A lot of people expected a deeper pullback, but XRP has stayed surprisingly stable instead.
What’s interesting is that the chart is beginning to resemble the same setup seen earlier this year before XRP made a strong move upward. Back then, price action slowed down for a while, traded sideways, and then suddenly picked up momentum again. Some traders think the market could be setting up in a similar way now.
The area around $1.45 keeps getting tested, and usually when resistance gets hit over and over without a huge rejection, it can mean sellers are losing strength. XRP also continues to hold above the $1.40 region, which has become an important short-term support level.
Another thing people are watching is the moving averages. The 20-day line is getting close to crossing above the 50-day, which traders often see as a bullish sign. It doesn’t guarantee anything, but it does add confidence for people already leaning bullish.
The next big level is around $1.73, where the 200-day moving average sits. That’s probably the most important area on the chart right now because breaking above it would completely change market sentiment. Until then, some traders still see this as just a temporary recovery inside a bigger sideways trend.
There are also analysts calling for much higher targets if momentum returns properly. Raoul Pal recently talked about a possible larger breakout structure on the weekly chart, while EGRAG CRYPTO believes XRP could eventually make a much bigger move if resistance levels continue falling one by one.
At the same time, not everyone is fully convinced yet. Bitcoin still controls most of the market direction, and as long as Bitcoin dominance stays high, altcoins like XRP may struggle to move freely.
Away from XRP, some investors are also looking at newer infrastructure projects with smaller market caps and higher risk. One example is LiquidChain, which is trying to build a system that connects liquidity across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in a more seamless way.
For now though, XRP traders are mainly focused on one thing: whether the price can finally break above resistance and hold there. If that happens, momentum could build very fast.
