XRP’s weekly chart is flashing a bearish continuation risk after failing to 
reclaim the $1.60 area, according to veteran chartist Aksel Kibar, CMT. His 
latest XRPUSD setup points to a possible extension lower toward $0.75 if the 
current consolidation breaks down. Kibar, who posts under the TechCharts 
account on X, is a Chartered Market Technician and classical chart trader with 
more than 15 years of experience in global equity market analysis. He’s an ex- 
fund manager who has worked for Yapi Kredi Bank in Turkey and the National 
Bank of Abu Dhabi, where he worked as a senior technical analyst and fund 
manager. His reputation in technical-analysis circles has also been reinforced 
by Peter Brandt, the veteran commodity trader and author, who has repeatedly 
amplified Kibar’s work as “the most accomplished pure classical chart analyst 
alive today.” XRP Stalls Below $1.60 Resistance His latest XRP post was short 
but direct. “$XRPUSD 1.6 resistance. Latest consolidation below the resistance 
and can act as a bearish continuation.” The chart shows XRP on Bitstamp’s 
weekly timeframe, trading around $1.28 after failing to reclaim the $1.60 
region. That level matters because it marks a prior support zone from the 
broader 2025 range, which extended toward the $3.45 area at the top. Once XRP 
lost that range support, the same zone began acting as overhead resistance.

Fear The more important detail is the structure forming beneath it. XRP is not 
merely trading below $1.60; it has been compressing inside what resembles a 
triangular consolidation. The upper boundary slopes lower from the failed 
recovery attempt, while the lower boundary rises from the post-breakdown lows. 
In classical charting, that kind of structure can resolve either way, but its 
location matters. A triangle forming after a major breakdown and below former 
support is often treated as a potential continuation pattern unless buyers 
force a recovery back above resistance. Kibar’s $0.75 target appears to come 
from the pattern’s measured move. The widest part of the triangle spans 
roughly from $1.67 down to $1.12, giving the structure a height of about 
$0.55. If XRP breaks below the triangle near the $1.30 area, subtracting that 
$0.55 range gives a downside objective near $0.75. That makes the target less 
arbitrary than a simple horizontal support call. It is the projected extension 
of the current compression if the market confirms a breakdown. The setup still 
requires that confirmation. Without a decisive break below the triangle, the 
chart remains a risk structure rather than a completed bearish signal. Related

Above $300 The chart also includes Kibar’s long-term trend filter. In crypto, 
Kibar is known to use the 365-day exponential moving average as a primary 
directional filter rather than as a standalone buy or sell trigger. Price 
above that average generally supports a more constructive bias; price below it 
argues for caution, particularly when rallies stall below resistance. In XRP’s 
case, price is trading below the red long-term moving average at $1.74, while 
the average itself sits above the current consolidation. That adds another 
layer to the bearish interpretation. Buyers not only need to invalidate the 
triangle breakdown risk; they also need to repair the broader trend structure 
by reclaiming lost resistance and moving back above the long-term average. At 
press time, XRP traded at $1.29. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart
