XRP/USD Forecast

Since the beginning of the month, the XRP/USD pair has been attempting to recover its previous losses, correcting against the long-term downward trend. The price has approached 1.1718 (Murrey level [4/8]) several times but has failed to break above it. The decline has now resumed, and a breakdown below 1.0253 (Murrey level [1/8]) may accelerate the move toward 0.9277 (Murrey level [–1/8]) and 0.8789 (Murrey level [–2/8]). Meanwhile, 1.1718 remains the key level for buyers: consolidation above it would reverse the current trend and create momentum for a test of 1.2695 (Murrey level [6/8]), 1.3671 (Murrey level [8/8]) and 1.4648 (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.
