XRP’s $1.10 Floor Holds as Chart Models Diverge on $2.55, $3 and $9+ Targets

Three independent technical frameworks converge on XRP's $0.70-$1.20 demand zone but split sharply on resistance, targets and timeframes.

XRP’s $1.10 Floor Holds as Chart Models Diverge on $2.55, $3 and $9+ Targets

XRP is consolidating near $1.10-$1.11, and at least three separate chart models are now competing to define what that range means. All three anchor on overlapping support bands between roughly $0.70 and $1.20, but they diverge materially on resistance, upside targets and the mechanics behind the setup — a spread traders should note before treating any single projection as consensus.

Three Frameworks, Three Ceilings

A biweekly chart from analyst Crypto Patel, circulated on X, labels the current range “Accumulation Zone 3,” bounded by $0.70 on the downside and $1.10 on the upside, with resistance clustered near $3. The chart overlays two prior cycles in which similar basing structures preceded advances of roughly 1,803% and 1,168%; a break above $3 is framed as the trigger for a projected move beyond $9, though no timeframe is attached and the analyst notes the pattern is not guaranteed to repeat.

Separately, BraveNewCoin reported on a long-term chart from analyst Lingrid identifying a roughly two-year symmetrical triangle on the higher timeframe, with a “grey accumulation region” around current levels described as an institutional buying zone. That model maps a staged advance through $1.50 and $1.90 toward a $2.50-$2.60 resistance band, with $2.55 flagged as the primary technical objective. The analyst was quoted saying the projection “completely rejects the bearish breakdown narrative.”

A third framework, from analyst EGRAG CRYPTO and also cited by BraveNewCoin, uses a monthly “Bent Fork” chart to place XRP inside a $0.85-$1.20 historical demand zone. That model names $1.65 as the first reclaim level before resistance at $3.00-$3.50, with an extended cycle scenario extending as far as $15 — explicitly framed as a long-term projection rather than a near-term call.

Indicators Read Neutral, Not Bullish

Underlying momentum data is more muted than the chart narratives suggest. TradingView’s aggregated technical rating for XRP sits at Neutral, based on 11 sell signals, 9 neutral readings and 6 buy signals. RSI (14) reads 46.70, Stochastic %K sits at 49.13, and ADX (14) at 17.60 points to a weak trend. MACD (-0.01523) and Momentum (0.06743) register as buy signals, while the Awesome Oscillator flags sell.

Moving averages skew bearish across longer horizons: the 10-period EMA at $1.10593 currently supports price, and the 20-period EMA at $1.11152 sits as immediate overhead resistance, but the 50 EMA ($1.17031), 100 SMA ($1.28246) and 200 SMA ($1.45840) all remain well above spot. Separately, a shorter-term structure flagged by analyst Khiwe places XRP between $1.0800 support and $1.1825 resistance, with $1.1015 marked as the level that, if held, would establish a higher low.

Downside Levels to Watch

None of the models rule out a deeper retest before any breakout leg. Crypto Patel’s chart marks $0.50-$0.60 as a secondary floor last tested in prior cycles, framing it as tail risk rather than invalidation. Across all three frameworks, the basing phases have historically run far longer than the rallies that followed — the core reason each analyst treats near-term chop as secondary to the wider $0.70-$1.20 structural range now in focus.
