XRP Price Prediction For July 26: Will the Sleeping Giant Awaken?

XRP traders brace for volatility as key technical indicators flash conflicting signals.

Bullish momentum builds ahead of SEC case resolution—but whales might be playing both sides.

Ripple's ODL corridors show record volume while speculators gamble on a make-or-break monthly close.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists still can't explain why this 'shitcoin' handles more institutional transactions than their precious store of value.

XRP is currently in a tight spot. After an impressive rally that took its price close to previous highs, the token has now slipped below a key support level, raising questions about its short-term direction.

XRP is still holding onto a bullish structure. It continues to FORM higher highs and higher lows, which is generally a sign of strength. This means that despite the short-term pullback, XRP hasn’t yet confirmed the start of a bear market. In fact, as long as the price stays above critical support levels, the longer-term outlook remains intact.

In the short term, XRP has broken below the $3.40 mark, which had acted as a strong support level for over a week. So, where does XRP go from here? One scenario is a period of consolidation, where the price moves sideways within a range. Support is now sitting around $2.90 to $3.00, which has held up in previous corrections. On the upside, resistance is expected around $3.30 to $3.40, the same zone that recently flipped from support to resistance.

For a real bullish push, XRP WOULD need to reclaim the $3.25 to $3.30 zone and hold above it. A sustained move above that level could open the door for a rally towards $4.60 to $4.70, where important resistance is expected based on historical Fibonacci levels.

On the other hand, if the price slips further, the next levels to watch would be $2.75 and $2.25,  both seen as strong long-term support zones.

Hence, while XRP is still technically in a bull market, short-term signs point to a period of consolidation.
