XRP continues to trade within a defined higher timeframe range, following months of alternating upward and downward movements. The cryptocurrency is holding above key support zones, while traders monitor potential reactions to Bitcoin’s next move.
According to crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto, XRP remains “within a higher timeframe range” and is currently consolidating after a 500% rise from the $0.50 level. The analyst compared the asset’s structure to Curve DAO’s (CRV) chart, noting that the current price behavior reflects a healthy consolidation phase.
He explained that, like CRV, XRP’s retracement toward lower zones is not unexpected. However, he stated that he does not expect the token to revisit the $1.17 level unless Bitcoin experiences a deeper correction.
Potential Pullback Scenarios if Bitcoin Weakens
CrediBULL Crypto noted that a decline in Bitcoin’s price below $100,000 could pressure altcoins, including XRP. In such a scenario, XRP might test lower levels within its established range.
“If Bitcoin sees a deeper pullback below $100k, then XRP could move back down to our range lows at $1.70 or just below into the demand zone at $1.60,” the analyst said. This demand zone previously acted as a strong support area in April.
Despite this, he emphasized that the broader trend remains intact. The current range movement reflects the market digesting earlier gains rather than reversing the trend.
Investors Urged to Stay Patient During Consolidation
The analyst advised that short-term fluctuations mainly concern those seeking to “buy the dip.” Long-term holders were encouraged to remain patient and “tune out the noise until the dip is over.”
This steady range-bound behavior aligns with broader market conditions, as traders await clarity from Bitcoin’s direction before making new moves. XRP’s position near established support suggests ongoing market resilience within a defined structure.
