XRP is back above $1.42 and traders are starting to focus on a chart setup that sent XRP up 66% in less than two weeks when it hit 2025.
News background
• Analysts flagged a repeat XRP chart fractal from 2025 as a breakout from a multi-week bull flag sparked a rally toward record highs above $3.
• A bull flag is a pattern where price jumps sharply, then moves sideways or slightly lower for a while before potentially breaking higher again. Traders usually see it as a break in momentum rather than a full reversal.
• Current price action again shows that XRP is breaking out of a bull flag, while the 20-day and 50-day moving averages are approaching a bullish crossover.
• Some traders now see holdings above $1.40 as critical, with the level acting as both psychological support and the upper limit of the recent flag structure.
Summary of price action
• XRP rose from $1.4011 to $1.4184, extending its weekly gain to nearly 9%.
• A volume increase of DKK 74.6 million. at 13:00 pushed the price to $1.4207 before momentum cooled to consolidation.
• The token spent the last hours stabilizing between $1,417-$1,420 after repeated testing of the $1,422 resistance zone.
Technical Analysis
• XRP continues to build higher lows, keeping the short-term bullish structure intact above $1.40.
• The repeated tests near $1.42 matter because resistance weakens each time sellers fail to force a deeper rejection.
• Liquidity on Binance has fallen to its lowest level since 2020, historically creating conditions for big moves when ranges finally break.
• The broader setup is similar to the 2025 breakout structure where XRP compressed for weeks before accelerating significantly higher.
What traders need to see
• $1.42 remains the key breakout level. A clean move above it opens the way towards $1.47-$1.50.
• Holding above $1.40 is equally important because failed breakouts often turn into quick reversals as momentum fades.
• If the range finally resolves lower, $1.34-$1.37 will be the first major trader in the support zone.
