XRP has printed a new technical buy signal after its latest pullback, while some analysts still maintain a long-range breakout target above $15. Ali said the TD Sequential indicator on XRP’s four-hour chart produced a fresh buy setup after a 5.5% correction, suggesting recent selling pressure may be fading. Javon Marks, looking at the broader chart structure, said XRP continues to hold a long-term breakout pattern despite months of weak price action.
Short-term momentum points back to resistance
Ali focused on near-term momentum. He said the TD Sequential indicator had previously identified XRP’s local top near $1.46 on May 6, and the latest reading has now shifted to a buy signal. In his view, that setup could allow XRP to revisit the $1.45 resistance zone before attempting a move toward $1.80.
That does not remove the barriers overhead. XRP still faces technical resistance around $1.55 and $1.70, two areas where earlier rallies lost strength. If buyers fail to push through those levels, the token could remain stuck inside its recent trading range.
Measured breakout target remains above $15
Javon Marks kept the focus on the long-term chart. According to him, XRP still holds its broader breakout structure even after an extended period of weakness, and the measured move target remains above $15. Based on the levels cited in the source material, that would imply a move of more than 10x from current prices, though no timeline was provided.
Earlier in the year, XRP traded around $2.50 to $2.57 before entering a drawn-out correction. Selling pressure accelerated through December and January as the asset moved below both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. In February 2026, XRP dropped sharply toward the $1.20 support zone, with trading volume rising during the decline and reflecting heavy liquidation across the market.
Holder growth keeps rising around the $1.40 area
After that sell-off, XRP stabilized for several months in roughly the $1.30 to $1.45 range, while volatility gradually cooled. At the same time, the MA50 and MA200 flattened near the current price region around $1.39 to $1.42, a zone analysts often watch for potential breakout conditions.
Network participation continued to expand even as price remained soft. Data showed total XRP holders rising from about 7.2 million to nearly 7.83 million. XRP has also recently reclaimed both major moving averages after recovering from its February lows. For now, price action remains centered near the psychologically important $1.40 level, while a break below $1.30 could reopen downside pressure in the near term.
