Bitcoin stabilizes at $75K-$78K after US-Iran ceasefire, market remains calm

XRP is trading near the top of its month-long consolidation band, with the 
price stuck between roughly $1.35 and $1.45. With April nearing its end—just 
six days left until the month closes—will the XRP price break upward before 
the deadline, or will it slip lower and trigger a faster downside move? 
Monthly Breakout Or Breakdown? In a fresh technical update shared on social 
media, analyst Bull Winkle says the next major confirmation for the XRP price 
will come from how it behaves on the monthly time frame. According to Winkle, 
bulls need a monthly close above $1.90. He frames that level as more than just 
a random resistance area, describing it as a demand-zone “hold” signal and 
also a reclaim of the 2021 resistance level, now acting as support. Related

If the XRP price can clear $1.90 on a monthly close, Winkle argues it would 
set the stage for retests higher up the chart—specifically opening the door to 
$2.90 revisits. That bullish scenario includes a significant recovery math. If 
the XRP price climbs toward $1.90 ahead of April’s close from current trading 
levels of $1.43, it would represent about a 32% recovery. Additionally, a 
potential rally of 102% up to the $2.90 area. On the other side, Winkle lays 
out what would count as a clear breakdown for bears. He says the most decisive 
bearish signal would be a monthly close below $1.27. In his view, that would 
open the path for a faster move toward $1, with the potential for an Elliott 
Wave C-style correction that could land the XRP price in the broader $0.60 to 
$0.75 range. That bearish estimate would be severe: it could equate to around 
a 58% decline from the current trading zone. What The XRP Price Needs Next 
While those price levels are the headline, Winkle also emphasized momentum 
context using the relative strength index (RSI) indicator. He notes that at 
47, the monthly RSI is not showing divergence in either direction yet. For 
him, that means the market has not reached a point where the next move is 
fully “high conviction” on the monthly setup. Instead, the RSI needs to do 
something more decisive—either bouncing strongly above 55 to confirm a bullish 
phase, or pressing below 40 with a trajectory toward the 30 area, which he 
describes as a capitulation-type bottom. That brings the focus to the 
immediate battleground. Winkle’s summary of where the XRP price stands is 
straightforward: the $1.27 to $1.43 range is where the outcome is likely being 
decided. Related Reading: Bitcoin Nears $80,000: Two Scenarios That May Decide 
Q2—Bulls Or Bears? Beyond the chart levels and RSI, Winkle pointed to a 
separate signal he believes is already strengthening the case for a potential 
upside leg—something supply-side, rather than purely technical. In another 
post, he highlighted that “seven billion XRP just vanished from exchanges,” 
claiming this exchange outflow matters because when the altcoin sits on 
exchanges, it represents liquid, sell-side supply that can be sold at any 
moment. Once that supply leaves—whether to cold wallets, institutional 
custody, or longer-term holding structures—he argues the immediate downward 
pressure for the XRP price can ease. Featured image from OpenArt, chart from
