XRP price teases a breakout ahead, with big overhead resistance between $2.20 
and $2.30 still in place and several key support levels below.

Watch these XRP levels as price meets ‘turning point’

XRP showed a powerful technical reaction after dipping precisely to the $2.07 
Fib confluence zone, where multiple key levels aligned — including the golden 
.618 Fib retracement and wave-based extensions. The sharp bounce from this 
area signals a potential end to the recent correction and opens the door for 
further upside. The Perfect Bounce: XRP Finds Bottom At $2.07 Confluence 
CasiTrades, in a latest post on X, stated that on Friday, XRP dipped precisely 
to the $2.07 confluence zone, aligning with the golden .618 retracement, the 
1:1 extension for wave C, and the .618 extension for subwave 5. She noted that 
a sharp reaction from that level would confirm the correction bottom, and the 
market did exactly that, snapping upward from the $2.07 mark. Related Reading: 
XRP Price Springs Higher — Rally Reignited with Bullish Momentum Since then, 
momentum has steadily increased, with bullish pressure building over time. 
Price action is now pressing into a critical resistance zone at $2.25, a level 
that represents the macro .382 Fibonacci retracement and has served as a 
significant technical barrier for months. Breaking and holding above this 
level could signal a shift from recovery to full-blown bullish continuation. 
Adding to the momentum, Ripple dropped its appeal, and the US SEC’s withdrawal 
could be the next trigger to price spikes. According to CasiTrades, the legal 
finish line is finally in sight, just as the price completes its correction 
structure, a timing she believes is no coincidence. This, she emphasized, is 
why technical analysis matters: it allows traders to identify key setups 
before the news breaks, positioning ahead of market-moving headlines. Key 
Short-Term Scenarios To Watch The analyst further explained that from this 
point, she is closely watching two key short-term scenarios unfold. In the 
first scenario, XRP makes a move up to around $2.30, followed by a pullback to 
retest $2.25 — this time as support, which CasiTrades considers an ideal and 
healthy move. Related Reading: XRP Silent Accumulation: A Falling Wedge On The 
Verge Of Explosion The second scenario involves a stronger push straight 
through to the $2.45 zone, heading toward the larger resistance near $2.69. In 
this case, a minor pullback would likely occur just before the price interacts 
with the $2.69 resistance area. After that, the analyst anticipates a backtest 
of the $2.25 level. Either way, she emphasized that $2.25 remains the critical 
level to watch. Successfully flipping it sets the stage for a much larger 
breakout move. CasiTrades added that Friday’s bounce wasn’t just a random 
spike; it was a precise reaction to a completed structure. With wave 2 down, 
wave 3 is officially underway, and once these nearby resistance levels are 
cleared, it could all lead to a surge. Featured image from Getty Images, chart
