Privacy Coins Take a Beating as Bitcoin’s Slide Hits the Sector Hard

XRP might be currently trading in corrections, but technical analysis shows 
the cryptocurrency is still headed in an upward direction. A recent analysis 
shared on X by crypto analyst JD frames the pullback as a calculated reset, 
arguing that the correction fits neatly into a larger setup that may determine 
XRP’s next major move. The lower the XRP price goes, the higher the breakout 
will be. Falling Wedge Breakout: The July 2025 Precision Move Technical 
analysis shared on X by crypto analyst JD shows that XRP&#8217;s price action has 
been following a well-laid-out plan that goes as far back as early 2025. The 
3D candlestick price chart shows that XRP spent the first half of 2025 trading 
inside a falling wedge, a structure that is known for resolving to the upside.

Means That setup played out cleanly in July 2025, when the XRP price broke 
above the falling wedge and reached JD&#8217;s projected measured target with 
accuracy. The completion of that measured target led to the start of a 
correction, which is where the current technical structure comes into focus. 
After the July breakout, XRP transitioned into a descending broadening wedge 
characterized by lower lows and lower highs that expand over time. This 
structure has governed price action since mid-2025 and explains the steady 
grind lower. JD’s comments reference this phase directly, noting that the 
recent 23% correction unfolded as he had predicted. With this in mind, the 
analyst noted that the lower the XRP price goes, the higher the breakout will 
be. Next Direction For XRP Price The descending broadening wedge on the three- 
day chart comes with a clear measured projection that outlines where this 
corrective phase could terminate. As it stands, there&#8217;s still a possibility 
that the XRP price will continue declining to as low as $1.5 before rebounding 
at the lower trendline of the descending wedge. Related Reading: XRP/Gold 
Ratio Just Reached A Historical Support Zone, What This Means For Price If the 
price reaches this projected region and selling pressure weakens as 
anticipated, the setup favors a sharp reversal higher, consistent with how XRP 
previously reacted after the falling wedge completed in July 2025. However, it 
is important to keep in mind that the price doesn&#8217;t necessarily have to fall 
to as low as $1.5 before an upward rebound happens. On the other hand, an 
eventual break above the upper trendline of the descending wedge is projected 
by crypto analyst JD to push XRP as high as $4, which would place the 
cryptocurrency trading at new price highs. The most important thing right now 
is a close above $2.3 in order to cement this break above the descending 
wedge. At the same time, on-chain data points to cautiousness in the near 
term. Data from Glassnode shows that XRP is slipping back into a cost-basis 
setup similar to what was last observed in February 2022, a trend that might 
influence sell pressure in the near future. Featured image from Getty Images,
