Ripple Predicts Institutional Adoption at Scale in 2026 as XRPL Momentum Builds

The XRP price is flashing strong signs of a potential breakout, as one analyst 
points to a growing liquidity imbalance that could send the cryptocurrency 
racing toward $4. Currently trading near $1.5, which is more than 180% below 
that target, XRP would require substantial bullish momentum and a notable 
shift in market sentiment to reach this level. Liquidity Structure Signals XRP 
Price Rally To $4 In a recent X post, XRP Ledger (XRPL) developer Bird said 
XRP is shaping up well at current levels, arguing that its broader liquidity 
structure now favors an aggressive upside move. Bird shared a detailed chart, 
explaining that most of the liquidity resting below the current price has 
already been cleared, reducing the likelihood of an immediate move to lower 
levels. Related Reading: XRP Price Enters ‘Final Shakeout Zone’, What 
Investors Should Expect On the other hand, deep liquidity, particularly in the 
dark red zones on the chart, remains stacked above, extending toward $4. Those 
areas, he noted, are likely packed with short positions, leveraged trades, and 
stop levels. While emphasizing that the XRP price itself does not have any 
specific direction or target at this current time, Bird stated that markets 
naturally gravitate toward liquidity because the largest concentration of 
orders is often found there. As the XRP price pushes into upper liquidity 
zones, the analyst noted that short sellers may get forced out of their 
positions. Since closing a short requires buying back XRP at higher prices, 
that process can add fresh upward pressure to the market. Bird noted that 
liquidations typically create buying pressure, which can push prices higher. 
As prices rise, more short positions are closed, creating a self-reinforcing 
cycle. Moreover, as momentum grows, retail traders often jump in, further 
increasing volatility and driving prices up even faster. According to the 
analyst, XRP has historically shown the ability to produce rapid, aggressive 
rallies once a liquidation-driven momentum builds. If prices begin to tap into 
the areas with stacked liquidity, a move toward the $4 region could happen 
fast, fueled by closed short positions and expanding market participation. XRP 
Approaches Make Or Break Zone In a separate analysis, market analyst ‘Master 
of Crypto’ shared new insights into XRP’s recent price behavior and potential 
outlook. He stated that the cryptocurrency is currently approaching a major 
decision zone that could determine if it enters a fresh bullish phase or 
continues its previous downtrend. Related Reading: XRP Price Has Just Reached 
Most Oversold Level In History And This Analyst Is Predicting A Bounce 
According to the analyst, after weeks of trading in a clear downtrend channel 
on the chart, XRP’s price is now testing the upper trendline of the structure. 
He predicts that if price breaks and holds above this line near $1.8 with 
strong volume, then a surge toward $2.00 is highly probable. On the flip side, 
Master of Crypto forecasts that if XRP is rejected in this area, the 
cryptocurrency could experience a final pullback toward $1.4 before a real 
breakout. The analyst has said that XRP’s next move depends entirely on how 
its price reacts to the $1.8 resistance level. Featured image from Getty
