XRP approaches a critical moment as price action compresses into a narrowing range. Momentum has slowed, but the structure has become clearer.

The latest daily chart shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) shows a symmetrical triangle, with the asset’s price now nearing the apex. This setup often precedes a sharp move, and XRP now sits close to that inflection point.

Martinez states that XRP is “currently consolidating within a well-defined symmetrical triangle on the daily chart.” The chart reflects consistently lower highs and higher lows since February. This pattern signals tightening price action, with both buyers and sellers stepping in at increasingly closer levels.

Compression Signals Pending Volatility Expansion

The triangle structure highlights a classic volatility contraction phase. Price swings have narrowed over time, and XRP now trades near $1.374. The apex of the triangle sits close to $1.40. The analyst describes $1.35 to $1.45 as a no-trade zone as the market awaits a decision.

Martinez notes that “market energy is coiling,” pointing to the tightening structure. As the price approaches the apex, traders expect a breakout. These patterns do not favor a direction. They indicate that a move is coming.

The measured move from this formation stands at about 26%. This estimate comes from the height of the triangle at its widest point. Applying that range to a breakout level gives traders a framework for potential targets.

Key Levels Define the Setup

Movement inside the no-trade zone lacks conviction and often leads to false signals. A confirmed daily close above $1.45 would signal bullish continuation. Martinez sets an upside target at $1.82 in that scenario. This aligns with the projected 26% move from the breakout point.

A close below $1.35 would shift momentum in the opposite direction. In that case, the downside target sits near $1. This level marks a significant psychological and structural area on the chart. However, it could also become a buying opportunity for a future upward move.

Market Waits for Confirmation

The current setup reflects a balance between buyers and sellers. XRP has respected both trendlines, forming multiple touchpoints on each side. This adds reliability to the pattern. Traders often look for these repeated interactions to confirm structure.

Martinez emphasizes patience. He advises waiting for a “confirmed daily close outside of this range” before entering positions. This approach reduces exposure to fake breakouts. While institutional ETF inflows remain steady, XRP’s price has yet to react with strong directional movement. The chart suggests that participation exists, but conviction has not yet emerged in price action.
