 <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p>
 <ul>
  <li><strong>XRP trading at $1.3539, breaking below the ascending trendline on the daily chart.</strong></li>
  <li><strong>Open Interest at 433.77M, rising 0.12% on the day price lost trendline support.</strong></li>
  <li><strong>NVT Ratio at 218.12, up 26.81% in a single session: valuation outpacing network activity.</strong></li>
  <li><strong>SMA50 at $1.3963 and SMA100 at $1.3981 now function as resistance, not support.</strong></li>
 </ul>

<p>The ascending blue trendline visible on the daily chart originates from the late March and early April lows and has provided rising support across multiple tests through the April-May period. The current price at $1.3539 is below the trendline, which analytically sits at approximately $1.36-1.37 at this stage of its trajectory. The break is confirmed on a daily basis at the time of writing rather than an intraday wick, which gives it structural weight.</p>

<p>The SMA50 and SMA100 separated by less than two cents above current price are no longer a support cluster: after the trendline break they have become the resistance ceiling that any recovery attempt must clear before the broken structure can be considered repaired. Both sit at approximately $1.396-1.398, $0.042 above the current price. The SMA200 at $1.6929 is declining steeply and is not relevant to the immediate structure. RSI at 40.86 with signal at 50.91 confirms negative momentum with a 10.05-point spread, approaching but not yet at oversold territory.</p>

<p>A trendline break on rising open interest is the specific combination PelinayPA identifies as long squeeze risk: the structural support that leveraged longs were leaning on has been removed while their positions remain open, creating the mechanical conditions for forced liquidation to accelerate any further decline. Open interest on Binance reached 433.77M on the day of the break, rising 0.12%. <strong><a href="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/6a106406e4d9ce4e6611614d-XRP-Is-Preparing-for-a-Long-Squeeze" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CryptoQuant analyst notes</a></strong> the recent sharp OI increase suggests aggressive position accumulation has resumed in the futures market, and that under normal conditions rising OI alongside price support creates bullish momentum. The trendline break removes the price support condition from that equation.</p>
<p><img src="https://coindoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/xu3cAzmq_70ab3ba933afcc6f39c3323b5e224bfbbd06a5e2f3d34b2d2f9f9b34fe865f2e.webp" alt="xrp" width="1280" height="513"></p>
<p>The NVT Ratio reaching 218.12 with a single-day increase of 26.81% means <strong><a href="https://coindoo.com/cryptocurrencies/ripple/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP’s</a></strong> market valuation expanded nearly 27% faster than its on-chain transaction activity in one session, which is the condition that makes any rally from current levels fragile rather than structural. PelinayPA describes the NVT as overheated and producing irregular spikes, noting that a rising NVT means market value may be growing faster than actual network usage, making rallies more fragile and potentially short-lived.</p>
<p>Market Cap remained relatively stable at approximately $137.1 billion, rising 0.42% on the day. PelinayPA reads this as evidence that large investors are not yet aggressively distributing, which reduces the probability of a sharp near-term crash but does not change the structural picture the trendline break and NVT reading describe.</p>
<p>According to the CryptoQuant analysis, the probable outcome framing: an upside squeeze first, driven by the rising OI, followed by increased correction risk if XRP fails to make new highs. A recovery above the SMA50 and SMA100 cluster at $1.396-1.398 on expanding volume within the next three sessions would repair the trendline break damage and shift the near-term structure back toward the bullish scenario. A continuation below $1.35 with OI holding elevated and NVT remaining above 200 would confirm the long squeeze risk PelinayPA identifies as the alternative path.</p>
