- XRP faked a breakout before continuing lower, trapping retail traders
- A key H4 demand zone with imbalance could trigger a strong reaction
- Patience is key—short-term buys or liquidity grabs before a sell-off could be in play
In our last analysis, we discussed how XRP was hovering around a key liquidity zone.
While many traders saw this level as a strong support, we anticipated something different—a liquidity grab followed by a reaction at the M30 demand zone.
And that’s exactly what happened.
Let’s break down the latest price action and what could come next.
XRP Analysis: Fake Breakouts and Smart Money Moves
Zooming into the M15 timeframe, XRP executed a fake breakout (fake BOS) after sweeping liquidity. Instead of continuing upwards, the price reversed, heading straight into our M30 demand zone, where it gave a strong reaction.
But here’s the key takeaway—it didn’t break structure. That means XRP had no real bullish confirmation, and the price continued its downtrend after collecting all the liquidity from the last impulse.
What’s Next for XRP? Patience is Key
Now, shifting our focus to the H4 timeframe, we’ve identified a highly interesting M30 demand zone.
This zone stands out because:
- It’s the last extreme area where price previously took liquidity.
- There’s a significant imbalance that needs to be filled.
This makes it a strong area to watch for potential buying opportunities, but patience is essential.
XRP Price Prediction: Trading Setups to Watch
Short-Term Buy Opportunity
If we zoom in on the M5 timeframe, we can spot two demand zones that could provide short-term buying opportunities.
- The first M5 demand could give a reaction.
- If price sweeps the last low, the lower M5 demand zone may be an even better entry.
Selling Opportunity
For those looking to short XRP, the best play could be waiting for a liquidity grab above before price taps into a strong M5 supply zone, which could push the market down further.
Final Thoughts: XRP Remains Unpredictable
While these are the potential setups, nothing is 100% guaranteed. The market can always move in unexpected ways.
Our job as traders is to anticipate possible scenarios and react accordingly—not to predict the future with certainty.
Keep an eye on the key levels discussed, stay patient, and trade smart.
What do you think? Will XRP bounce, or is more downside coming?
