XRP might be currently trading in corrections, but technical analysis shows the cryptocurrency is still headed in an upward direction.

A recent analysis shared on X by crypto analyst JD frames the pullback as a calculated reset, arguing that the correction fits neatly into a larger setup that may determine XRP’s next major move. The lower the XRP price goes, the higher the breakout will be.

Falling Wedge Breakout: The July 2025 Precision Move

Technical analysis shared on X by crypto analyst JD shows that XRP’s price action has been following a well-laid-out plan that goes as far back as early 2025. The 3D candlestick price chart shows that XRP spent the first half of 2025 trading inside a falling wedge, a structure that is known for resolving to the upside. 

That setup played out cleanly in July 2025, when the XRP price broke above the falling wedge and reached JD’s projected measured target with accuracy. The completion of that measured target led to the start of a correction, which is where the current technical structure comes into focus.

After the July breakout, XRP transitioned into a descending broadening wedge characterized by lower lows and lower highs that expand over time. This structure has governed price action since mid-2025 and explains the steady grind lower. JD’s comments reference this phase directly, noting that the recent 23% correction unfolded as he had predicted. With this in mind, the analyst noted that the lower the XRP price goes, the higher the breakout will be.

Next Direction For XRP Price

The descending broadening wedge on the three-day chart comes with a clear measured projection that outlines where this corrective phase could terminate. As it stands, there’s still a possibility that the XRP price will continue declining to as low as $1.5 before rebounding at the lower trendline of the descending wedge. 

If the price reaches this projected region and selling pressure weakens as anticipated, the setup favors a sharp reversal higher, consistent with how XRP previously reacted after the falling wedge completed in July 2025. However, it is important to keep in mind that the price doesn’t necessarily have to fall to as low as $1.5 before an upward rebound happens. 

On the other hand, an eventual break above the upper trendline of the descending wedge is projected by crypto analyst JD to push XRP as high as $4, which would place the cryptocurrency trading at new price highs. The most important thing right now is a close above $2.3 in order to cement this break above the descending wedge.

At the same time, on-chain data points to cautiousness in the near term. Data from Glassnode shows that XRP is slipping back into a cost-basis setup similar to what was last observed in February 2022, a trend that might influence sell pressure in the near future.

XRP continues to show underlying strength despite facing rejection near recent highs, with the broader structure remaining intact. As long as the price holds above the key $1.30 level, the bullish bias remains in play, signaling that the latest pullback may be a consolidation rather than the start of a deeper reversal.

Multi-Year Breakout Holds As XRP Builds For The Next Expansion

During a recent analysis, Crypto Patel highlighted that XRP is trading above a confirmed multi-year breakout zone on the higher-timeframe chart, following the completion of a prolonged accumulation phase. After delivering a powerful expansion move, price action now appears to be building a structure for the next potential leg higher.

From a technical perspective, XRP has already achieved a decisive breakout from a descending wedge that developed between 2020 and 2024. This breakout triggered a rally of more than 600% from the $0.60 level, reinforcing the strength of the broader bullish trend and confirming the shift in long-term market structure.

Price is currently respecting a key fair value gap and accumulation zone between $1.90 and $1.30, an area that continues to act as a critical demand region. As long as XRP remains above $1.30, the higher-timeframe bullish structure stays intact, keeping the broader upside thesis firmly in play.

Looking ahead, Crypto Patel maintains ambitious upside targets at $3.50, $5.00, $8.70, and potentially above $10 over the longer term. The bullish outlook would be invalidated only by a higher-timeframe close below the $1.30 level, which would signal a breakdown in structure and shift the bias.

Trendline Structure Holds Despite Rejection Near $2.37

In another XRP update, Umair Crypto noted that the broader trendline structure remains intact despite the recent push above a key psychological level and rejection near $2.37. While momentum indicators showed early weakness, the price reaction did not result in a confirmed breakdown of the overall structure.

According to the analysis, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) broke down ahead of price, followed by XRP losing the range Point of Control (POC). This sequence triggered a sharp pullback, but importantly, the move lacked clear structural failure, suggesting the decline was corrective rather than trend-ending.

Relative strength continues to stand out. During the ETH-led market flush, XRP experienced a sell-off but rebounded quickly, outperforming many ETH beta assets. This behavior suggests capital rotation into relative strength rather than a broad-based distribution across the market.

Looking ahead, the bias remains constructive as long as the trendline holds and the price can reclaim value above the range POC. However, sustained acceptance below this area would invalidate the bullish setup and shift the focus toward lower levels.
