After briefly consolidating between $2.05-$2.06, XRP’s price fell to an intraday low of $1.906 before partially rebounding to $1.97.
XRP’s open interest dropped 10% to $3.58 billion, while daily trading volume increased 166% to $3.66 billion.
Despite the volatility, some investors remain bullish on its long-term prospects.
Crypto analyst Crypto Patel said XRP is trading above a confirmed multi-year breakout zone on the higher-timeframe (HTF) chart.
This shows that the token may be setting up for another major upside move following a prolonged accumulation phase.
Patel noted that XRP has already posted a strong expansion after breaking out near $0.60.
Since then, the price has increased by 600%, and is now rebuilding the structure for the next leg higher.
He highlighted a descending wedge breakout spanning 2020 to 2024 as a key technical catalyst.
According to Patel, XRP’s current focus area sits around a fair value gap and accumulation zone between $1.90 and $1.30.
He said the higher-timeframe bullish structure remains intact as long as XRP holds above $1.30.

The analyst has outlined upside targets at $3.50, $5.00, $8.70, and $10. However, he said that any closing under $1.30 will invalidate this structure.
