XRP has spent the better part of 2026 grinding sideways in what looks like a 
coiling spring, except the spring may not be loading for an upward surge. 
XRP&#8217;s four-month consolidation has trapped its price below a major resistance 
zone at $1.65, and according to crypto pundit CasiTrades, the clock is ticking 
because XRP is now exposed to one more move into lower macro support before 
any stronger recovery attempt begins. Four Months Of Failure At $1.65 
CasiTrades’ analysis is based on XRP’s inability to break back above the upper 
boundary of its consolidation structure on the 4-hour candlestick chart. As 
shown on the chart below, XRP has spent several months moving inside a range 
with lower highs. That has created a compression pattern where the next 
decisive move could be important for the broader trend. Related Reading:

The most important level in the analysis is $1.65, because this price level 
has acted as the ceiling of the current structure since February, and each 
rejection from that area has weakened the immediate bullish case. According to 
CasiTrades, the longer the XRP price fails to reclaim $1.65, the more likely 
it becomes that it needs one final flush into the lower macro supports. The 
analyst laid out the entire XRP price action since early 2026 within an 
Elliott Wave triangle structure with sub-impulse waves. Lower Macro Supports 
For XRP CasiTrades was explicit about the downside levels she is watching: 
$1.10 and $0.87 on Coinbase. The $1.10 area corresponds with the 0.786 
Fibonacci retracement at approximately $1.0854, while the $0.87 price target 
aligns with the 0.854 retracement near $0.8621. Related Reading: Key Volume 
Signals Are Driving XRP Momentum Amid Market Uncertainty The next confirmed 
support is between $1.26 and $1.30, and a break below that range could push 
XRP to the year-to-date low around $1.11, which will bring those deeper 
targets closer. Interestingly, both price targets come from the broader macro 
downtrend that has shaped XRP’s structure over the past several months. The 
projected move would also complete the corrective sub-impulse wave 5 that 
began in February 2026, as well as the larger corrective wave 2 that started 
in late 2025. This does not mean the bullish structure is fully invalidated. 
In fact, the pundit&#8217;s prediction appears to be that a move into macro support 
could become the final flush before a stronger recovery. The chart shows a 
large projected rebound from the lower support zone, with the XRP price 
eventually pushing back through $1.65 and breaking back above $2 if there&#8217;s 
enough bullish momentum. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $1.32 and 
is currently open to any path. The first real sign of a bullish shift will be 
XRP reclaiming $1.65 and turning it into support. Featured image from Getty
