The XRP price may be preparing for a long-overdue recovery, as a crypto 
analyst has just highlighted a critical area that could flip the 
cryptocurrency’s downward momentum into a bullish one. According to the market 
expert, XRP must reclaim the Ichimoku Base before it can resume its upside to 
new levels. XRP Price Recovery To Resume Above Ichimoku Base Market analyst 
Xaif Crypto took to X this Thursday to deliver a fresh weekly update on XRP as 
the cryptocurrency enters a pivotal technical area after months of downside 
pressure. The accompanying chart shows price retreating from a prior peak in 
late 2024 and sliding back into a clearly marked demand zone in the blue box.

According to the analyst, the recent retreat follows a clear downtrend, with 
lower highs pushing price back toward a previous consolidation zone. This 
blue-box area represents the main battleground, as prior trading activity 
built a base that could act as support if XRP revisits that level. So far, XRP 
appears to be stabilizing within this demand zone. Candles on the chart show 
hesitation and reduced selling pressure. The chart also draws attention to an 
Ichimoku structure, with XRP attempting to reclaim its Ichimoku Base. 
According to Xaif Crypto, this base will determine XRP’s next big move. The 
analyst has suggested that reclaiming this level could signal a potential 
shift in market sentiment. He disclosed that a strong close above it could 
favor upside continuation, weakening the ongoing downtrend and giving buyers 
more room to target upper resistance levels. Conversely, Xaif Crypto predicts 
that a break below the Ichimoku Base would likely lead to a deeper correction 
for XRP, as support would be lost and selling could accelerate. For now, XRP 
sits at a make-or-break level that could decide whether it recovers from its 
current slump. Xaif Crypto’s chart has outlined potential targets if the 
cryptocurrency manages to reclaim and hold above the Ichimoku Base. Currently 
hovering around $1.95, XRP faces potential bullish targets at $2.09, $2.20, 
$2.31, and $2.45. The analyst has also highlighted that traders and investors 
should closely watch the weekly close for confirmation of a sustained 
recovery. Analyst Says XRP Is Planning A Major Reversal Despite dropping below 
$2 earlier this week, analysts remain optimistic about XRP’s price outlook. 
According to market expert Crypto GVR, XRP could be attempting a major price 
reversal from the $1-$1.5 range. Based on his chart analysis, the analyst 
predicts that XRP could decline first from its current price around $1.95 to 
roughly $1.13 before rebounding sharply to new highs. Related Reading: XRP
