An analysis has emerged that XRP has entered a short-term box range after failing to break through $1.36, which was considered a key resistance level. In the market, attention is focused on the possibility of significant volatility occurring in the future as the price compression period lengthens.
CoinDesk diagnosed that XRP recently attempted an upward trend accompanied by an increase in trading volume, but its upward momentum slowed as it faced strong selling pressure around the $1.36 mark. In particular, the triangle convergence pattern that has continued since early 2025 is still being maintained, drawing market attention. This is because, typically, a strong directional movement often follows a convergence period where the price fluctuation range gradually narrows.
In the market, there is also an analysis that the $1.30 level is acting as a short-term key support line. If this price level is maintained, there is a possibility that attempts to break through the upper level will continue. Conversely, there are also forecasts that if the support line breaks, the correction could expand to the mid-$1.20 range.
On-chain movements are also drawing attention. This is because XRP holdings on exchanges have recently been showing a declining trend. Usually, a decrease in exchange volume is often interpreted as an increase in external transfers for long-term holding purposes. Added to this is the analysis that large-scale holders are continuing to maintain their holdings or further accumulate, rather than aggressively selling.
The market is keeping an eye on the possibility that future Bitcoin direction, U.S. interest rate policies, and ETF fund flows will act as major macroeconomic variables determining XRP's volatility.
