XRP Coiling Like a Spring—Next Explosive Move Could ’Melt Faces,’ Says Top Analyst

XRP's price action is tightening like a wound-up spring—and one market expert warns the breakout could be violent.

When this sleeping giant wakes up, it won't tiptoe.

The Setup:
After months of consolidation, XRP's volatility compression mirrors pre-pump patterns from previous cycles. No guarantees in crypto, but the technicals hint at a potential powder keg.

The Stakes:
A decisive close above key resistance could trigger algorithmic buying frenzies—liquidity hunting tends to get messy. 'Face-melting' rallies often follow periods of maximum frustration (and sidelined capital).

The Wildcard:
Regulatory clarity remains the elephant in the room. Because nothing screams 'mature asset class' like lawyers determining price trajectories.

Buckle up or fade—both strategies have burned traders before. Just remember: in crypto, 'this time is different' are the four most expensive words.

XRP 4h Chart | Melarin Currently, XRP is already knocking at the upper trendline of the descending channel, with the recent recovery push above $2.31 representing the latest knock. According to Melarin, when XRP eventually breaks above the channel and resolves from the spring, the resulting move could be explosive. The Next Move Could "Melt Faces" She pointed out that every significant breakout in history has always started quiet, just like what the market is currently witnessing. For instance, before the explosive 580% rally to the $3.4 peak in January 2025, XRP witnessed a period of quiet price consolidation around the $0.5 range in Q4 2024, as the price coiled for months. Meanwhile, Melarin's chart also highlighted a falling wedge similar to the one XRP is currently facing, which resolved in early May. Specifically, once XRP broke above the upper trendline, it hit the $2.65 peak on May 12. Notably, this high represented a 26% increase from the $2.1 low within a week. Now, Melarin believes another imminent breakout is on the horizon, suggesting that "this one is about to get loud." The analyst insists that the upcoming move could melt faces. However, her chart presents an initial and immediate push toward the $2.8 region once the breakout occurs. This mark is just shy of the $2.9 to $3 area. Recall that analyst EGRAG Crypto mentioned that XRP WOULD need to breach the $2.9 level to confirm a decisive upward push and break out of the current consolidation. In subsequent analyses, EGRAG has predicted an ultimate target of $27. Currently, XRP trades for $2.22 at press time, down 0.84% over the past 24 hours.
