XRP has spent months trading beneath a persistent descending resistance line, with price action compressing into a narrow range. Crypto analyst Bird (@BirdXRPL) believes that prolonged consolidation could eventually give way to a sharp breakout rather than a gradual recovery.
He stated in a recent post that “when the XRP god candle finally arrives from this area,” the asset won’t slowly grind its way back to an all-time high. He expects the move to rapidly erase the past 18 months of sideways movement and “right price action in a matter of days.”
I'm not saying it happens this week.
However, I'm saying that when the XRP god candle finally arrives from this area, it won't grind its way back to all time highs.
It'll erase 18 months of down and right price action in a matter of days.
One god candle.

Descending Trendline Remains the Focus
The attached daily chart shows a descending trendline from XRP’s all-time high of $3.65 through a series of lower highs over the past year. The digital asset now trades near $1.09, with its price sitting just beneath that long-term resistance.
Bird highlighted the current trading range with a green box near the end of the trendline. The chart also includes a large upward arrow extending toward the $3.80 area, illustrating the path the analyst expects if XRP breaks above resistance.
The Breakout Could Develop Quickly
Bird’s outlook centers on the speed of a potential move rather than its timing. The analyst wrote, “One god candle. Within one week. Everything changes.”
The chart suggests that XRP has compressed into a relatively tight range after an extended decline. Traders often watch these structures for a strong breakout once price clears a major resistance level. In this case, the descending trendline remains the primary level to monitor.

Technical Structure Continues to Tighten
The chart shows XRP holding near the same price area while the descending trendline continues to move lower. That has reduced the distance between support and resistance over time.
A decisive move above the trendline would mark the first clear break of the long-term pattern shown on the chart. The current setup presents a buying opportunity, as a clear breakout could lead to substantial gains with prices far above current levels.
Watching For the Next Move
Bird did not assign a date to the expected breakout. Instead, the post focuses on the current setup and the possibility that XRP could recover much faster than it declined once resistance gives way. For now, the descending trendline remains the defining technical feature.
