Rally

Crypto analyst Crypto Michael (@MichaelXBT) has identified a critical price level that he believes will determine XRP’s next major move. His analysis points to two possible outcomes from the current structure, one of which involves a further decline before any upside materializes.
<h2 id="strong-the-descending-channels-strong">The Descending Channels</h2>
XRP traded at $1.2901 at the time of his analysis, down 2.58% on the day. Since August, the asset has moved through two distinct phases. The asset <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-rallied-50-in-65-hours-finance-expert-explains-what-comes-next/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">broke out and rallied to $1.68</a> in a few days, but that momentum stalled and it entered a descending channel.
It then <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-price-is-pumping-today-expert-explains-why/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">broke above that channel in late September</a> and pushed to $1.65. That move failed to hold, and XRP entered a second, steeper descending channel where it currently trades.
The upper resistance line of this channel sits near $1.34. The lower support line projects toward $1.22. XRP has respected both boundaries across multiple touches.

<h2 id="strong-the-line-that-changes-everything-strong">The Line That Changes Everything</h2>
Every rally toward the upper trendline has met selling pressure. The most recent attempt in late October reached approximately $1.34-$1.35 before reversing. Crypto Michael stated: “$1.34 needs to break to activate the next leg up.” Until $1.34 breaks, the structure stays bearish.
<h2 id="strong-a-potential-bearish-scenario-strong">A Potential Bearish Scenario</h2>
Crypto Michael does not rule out a deeper pullback first. He notes that “a final dip to $1.22 is possible” before the breakout level gives way. The lower boundary of the channel continues to slope downward and projects into that zone over the coming days. A move there would represent a roughly 5.4% decline from current levels.
Some market participants <a href="https://timestabloid.com/analyst-who-called-xrp-dip-below-1-just-posted-these-warning-signs/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">have shared bearish predictions</a> for the rest of 2026. However, buyers previously stepped in around that area in mid-October when the price tested $1.26. If $1.22 holds, it could mark the bottom for XRP. This would set the asset up for another retest of $1.34, and a potential break above it.
<h2 id="strong-xrp-sits-at-a-decision-point-strong">XRP Sits at a Decision Point</h2>
The setup is binary. Either XRP’s price breaks $1.34 and the next leg begins, or the channel holds and a test of $1.22 follows first. The structure is defined, and <a href="https://timestabloid.com/egrag-crypto-says-the-xrp-retest-is-here-awaits-crucial-decision/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP must now make a decision</a> to test higher levels or retrace and prepare for another move. The community is waiting, and this decision could come soon.
