Trump plans to fire FBI Director Kash Patel amid negative media coverage

XRP has spent the better part of four months grinding sideways inside a narrow 
range band, far removed from its $3.65 all-time high. But one technical 
analyst believes this extended decline is running out of road, the decline is 
nearly done, and XRP is nearing a bottom significant enough to matter for 
traders. A Tight Range Showing Late-Stage Compression Analyst Protechtor, 
posting on X, has been monitoring a key support zone on XRP&#8217;s daily chart for 
more than a year. His reading is that the extended selloff from late 2025 
through early 2026, which is Wave C of a broader corrective sequence, is 
either complete or approaching completion. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals 
Why He Doesn’t See XRP Price Crashing Below $1 The evidence lies in what the 
past four months of price action have quietly assembled. XRP&#8217;s price action in 
the past four months has been confined within a narrow support band roughly 
between $1.30 and $1.70. This compression phase appears to be forming the 
latter portion of a descending triangle. This descending triangle pattern is 
visible on the daily chart. XRP has formed a series of lower highs since 
January 2026 while holding a relatively stable floor around $1.28 to $1.31. At 
the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at $1.43. According to the 
analyst, the move from the 2025 highs at $3.65 down into this range is either 
a completed Wave 2 or Wave B in Elliott Wave terms. Furthermore, the analysis 
identified sub-waves within the final leg of the correction, labeling them (a) 
through (e). The structure suggests wave (e) is now in progress, completing 
the triangle before a final thrust. A Final Flush Or Has the Low Already 
Arrived? Protechtor is careful to present two paths forward. If it is true 
that XRP is currently in the late stages of a descending triangle, then the 
first path is that the descending triangle resolves with a characteristic 
downside thrust. This is going to be a move below the wave (d) low at $1.28, 
which would represent a final shakeout before price reverses sharply higher.

50% Of SWIFT? According to the analyst, such a move would raise the odds here 
significantly that the bottom is being put in, as triangles typically end with 
a swift thrust that is quickly retraced. The second path is that XRP has 
already seen its significant low. A breakout above the wave (c) high would 
invalidate the triangle structure and imply that the corrective sequence ended 
earlier than the pattern would suggest. Either way, the analyst&#8217;s conclusion 
converges on the same destination: &#8220;In either case I expect we are near a 
significant bottom,&#8221; he said. These bottom projections are just noise in the 
context of a larger bullish structure that remains intact. Featured image from
