By John Isige Since the beginning of the month, the XRP/USD pair has been attempting to recover its previous losses and has now approached 1.1718 (Murrey level [4/8]) for the second time, although it has yet to break through this level. The chart configuration resembles an ascending triangle pattern, so a breakout above 1.1718 could signal a shift in the prevailing trend and strengthen bullish momentum toward 1.2695 (Murrey level [6/8]), 1.3671 (Murrey level [8/8]) and 1.4648 (Murrey level [+2/8]). The key level for sellers is 1.0742 (Murrey level [2/8], the lower Bollinger Band). A consolidation below this level would signal a breakout through the lower boundary of the pattern and could lead to tests of 0.9765 (Murrey level [0/8]) and 0.8789 (Murrey level [–2/8]).

For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer. Macro still matters too: rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite shape inflows and outflows. Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
