Well-known trader and analyst EtherNasyonaL <a href="https://x.com/EtherNasyonaL/status/1980010078980689996" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shared</a> a long-term view of XRP using an inverted monthly chart to highlight structural patterns. The chart focuses on a demand zone that stems from the 2018 all-time high resistance. This area is now acting as support.
XRP has traded within this range for several months. The chart shows repeated tests of the lower boundary without any breakdowns. The analyst said XRP is “gathering strength” and that “the next major move is being prepared to the upside.” In the non-inverted view, the structure resembles a rounded bottom, often linked to trend reversals.

Another analyst, ChartNerd, <a href="https://x.com/ChartNerdTA/status/1979975177778639143" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">presented</a> a six-month candle chart using Fibonacci extensions to outline the next potential stages for XRP. Despite a recent upper wick, the chart shows no change in trend. Higher lows and higher highs remain in place.
Interestingly, the analysis points to price levels at $5, $8.59, $13.93, and $27.88 as potential targets, based on past cycles and extension levels. According to the post, the structure does not show any signs of a breakdown and still favors continuation.

Steph Is Crypto <a href="https://x.com/Steph_iscrypto/status/1980172884820812012" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reviewed</a> XRP’s short-term holder Net Unrealized Profit and Loss (NUPL). The chart shows that short-term holders have reached deep negative territory, dropping to -0.20. This level is lower than any other on the chart over the past year.
Previous dips into this “capitulation” zone, seen in October 2024, March 2025, and June 2025, all occurred near market lows. The analyst explained that these events have consistently marked bottoms and warned,
<blockquote>
 “This is absolutely the worst time to exit.”

In addition, a recent chart from Cryptoinsightuk <a href="https://x.com/Cryptoinsightuk/status/1980176069438099872" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">mapped</a> XRP liquidity zones on the daily timeframe. The most active area is between $2.20 and $2.80, which has held as support. Above current levels, liquidity builds near $3.00 to $3.40, which could be tested if price moves up.
Meanwhile, CryptoPotato <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/good-news-for-xrp-investors-as-ripple-battles-through-24-monthly-slump/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> that wallets holding over 10,000 XRP have reached an all-time high of 317,500. This trend has continued for nearly a year, with a brief pause in late 2024. Analysts <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/ripple-xrp-pauses-after-chaos-is-wave-5-still-coming-or-a-new-bull-trend-emerging/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">note</a> that the current pattern aligns with a possible Wave 4 consolidation under Elliott Wave Theory.
