XRP is trading around $1.51 as crypto developer Bird outlines a technical setup that could determine whether the cryptocurrency extends its recent recovery toward $1.80.
In a tweet, Bird said he expects XRP to stay above a descending trend line, move through the current resistance area, and then attempt a move toward $1.80.
My next expectation for XRP is pretty simple.
Stay above this white trend line, work its way through this area, then make the push towards $1.80.
$1.80 is the next key level I’m watching. We may see a rejection there, but if XRP goes straight through it, I think things start… pic.twitter.com/4kUdM6oN6L

Bird Watches Trend Line and $1.40 Support
Bird’s analysis focuses first on XRP’s ability to stay above a white descending trend line shown on the attached four-hour chart. The trend line connects several previous highs and has served as a broader resistance reference during the period covered by the chart.
According to Bird, XRP needs to stay above this trend line before attempting to move higher. He said the cryptocurrency should then “work its way through this area” before pushing toward $1.80.
The chart attached to the post shows XRP trading around $1.48 at the time of the analysis, with the price moving above the descending trend line. Bird highlighted the area around $1.50 as an important near-term zone before the next potential move.
Bird also highlighted the $1.40 level. He said the immediate focus is on the day’s close and XRP’s ability to hold above $1.40. A sustained position above that level would support his expectation for a move toward the first target.
$1.80 Becomes the Next Major Level
Bird identified $1.80 as the next key level he is watching. His analysis does not assume that XRP will immediately move through that price. Instead, he expects the level could produce a rejection if XRP reaches it.
However, Bird also outlined a more bullish scenario. If XRP moves through $1.80 without a significant rejection, he believes the cryptocurrency could begin moving much faster. This makes the level an important point for determining whether the current recovery develops into a stronger upward move.
The attached chart marks the $1.80 region with a green circle and illustrates Bird’s projected path from the current price area toward that level.

“$1.40 has historically been a resistance level for both the high and the low,” $MADE wrote, adding that the market would now determine how the level behaves.
With XRP currently trading at approximately $1.51, the cryptocurrency remains above the $1.40 threshold identified by both Bird’s analysis and the comment. Bird’s immediate focus therefore remains on whether XRP can sustain that position and close above the level.
For now, Bird’s outlook centers on price structure rather than a specific timeframe. Holding above the descending trend line and $1.40 remains important to his setup, while $1.80 represents the next major level that could determine the strength of XRP’s move.
