The "Accumulation" vs. "Breakdown" Battle
$XRP is currently trading between $1.43 and $1.47. While the long-term sentiment remains fueled by Ripple’s institutional growth and IPO rumors (valued at $50B), the short-term chart is a battlefield.
The Breakdown:
Critical Support: $1.43. Analysts are calling this the "line in the sand." As of today, the price is sitting right on the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level. If it holds, we could see a "Monday Surge" toward $2.00.
Major Resistance: $1.55 - $1.62. This zone has rejected three recovery attempts this week. A clean daily close above $1.62 is required to flip the script from bearish to bullish.
Whale Activity: Despite the price stagnation, Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) shows a bullish divergence, suggesting that large "Whale" wallets are quietly accumulating while retail investors sell out of fear.
The "2026 Catalyst": A major exchange listing with new XRP trading pairs is scheduled for today, which may provide the liquidity boost needed to break the current descending channel.
