Bitcoin hits $77,000 amid US-Israel-Iran tensions, oil prices surge

XRP is struggling to hold the $1.35 level as the market consolidates in a 
range that has defined the price structure for weeks without resolving in 
either direction. The patience required to hold through this kind of sideways 
action is real — and a CryptoQuant report has just identified a structural 
condition beneath the surface that reframes what the current consolidation is 
actually building toward. Related Reading: Bitcoin Large Players Have Built A 
Sell Wall At $80.5K–$82K – Spoofing Or Structural Supply? The report examines 
the relationship between XRP&#8217;s leverage ratio and its price. What it has found 
is a divergence that the data describes as inherently unstable. The leverage 
ratio is sitting low and moving sideways, reflecting a market where 
speculative positioning has been significantly reduced. Yet the price is 
holding relatively high despite that absence of leverage support. In most 
markets, low leverage and resilient price do not coexist for long. The 
divergence creates a tension that eventually resolves in one direction or the 
other. The direction the report is pointing toward is not random. When 
leverage has been flushed out and the price has held through that flush, the 
market is no longer being driven by speculation. It is being held by something 
more structural — genuine demand absorbing supply without the amplification of 
borrowed capital beneath it. That is the groundwork the CryptoQuant report 
identifies. The next question is what arrives to complete it. The Market Looks 
Quiet. It Is Loading The CryptoQuant report is explicit about what history 
says happens next. Divergences between a low leverage ratio and a resilient 
price do not persist indefinitely — they are inherently unstable 
configurations that resolve with directional force. The resolution follows one 
of two paths: the price drops to meet the leverage ratio, closing the gap from 
above, or the leverage ratio rises sharply to meet the price, closing the gap 
from below. The second path is the one that produces the kind of move most 
participants miss because nothing in the price chart announced it was coming. 
The current setup points toward the second path for a specific reason. 
Leverage has been flushed out. Speculative excess has been reduced. And yet 
the price has not collapsed to match the depleted leverage environment. That 
resilience is the signal — it means genuine demand is absorbing supply without 
the mechanical support of borrowed capital. When new long-side leverage 
eventually re-enters a market in that condition, it does not find a fragile 
price structure propped up by speculation. It finds a base that has already 
proven it can hold without leverage, which means the additional fuel of 
returning leverage produces a disproportionate price response. The report&#8217;s 
conclusion is the most important sentence for anyone watching XRP right now. 
These periods do not end with slow climbs. They tend to produce sudden and 
powerful price expansions — the kind where the leverage ratio and price close 
their gap rapidly and simultaneously, creating the squeeze-driven move that 
the current configuration has been building toward in silence. The market is 
calm. That is not the same as saying nothing is happening. Related Reading:

A Cliff XRP Holds Range Floor As Downtrend Loses Momentum XRP is trading near 
$1.37 on the 3-day timeframe, stabilizing after a prolonged downtrend that 
began following the mid-2025 highs near $3.50. The broader structure still 
reflects lower highs and sustained selling pressure, but recent price action 
suggests that downside momentum is weakening as the market establishes a base. 
The most important development is the formation of a horizontal support zone 
between $1.25 and $1.35. This area has now been tested multiple times since 
February and continues to hold. Indicating consistent demand stepping in to 
absorb selling pressure. Each rejection below this zone has been met with 
relatively quick recoveries, reinforcing its structural importance. Related

Repricing Ahead? However, the moving averages continue to act as overhead 
resistance. XRP remains below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving 
averages, all of which are trending downward or flattening. This alignment 
confirms that the macro trend has not yet shifted, and rallies into the 
$1.50–$1.70 region are still being sold. Volume also reflects a lack of 
conviction. The spike during the initial breakdown has not been followed by 
sustained accumulation, with recent activity showing muted participation. XRP 
is compressing at range lows. A reclaim of $1.50 is needed to challenge the 
downtrend. While a break below $1.25 would likely trigger another leg lower.
