XRP Is Testing a Level that Once Triggered a 50% Surge

XRP is showing signs of stress as recent analysis indicates the token is testing a level that previously led to a major rally.

According to BSCN (@BSCNews), the last time this setup occurred, XRP surged roughly 50%, signaling strong reaction potential on the current move. Currently, XRP trades near $1.46, with key support at $1.15 and a psychological floor at $1.

XRP Chart Structure and Momentum

The daily chart reveals a series of lower highs since July 2025, when XRP peaked at $3.65. Following that peak, the token entered a corrective phase marked by repeated rejections at $1.9 and $2.1.

Early February lows touched $1.15, the weakest since the flash crash in October, showing how liquidity can shift sharply when selling pressure rises. Momentum indicators remain neutral, with RSI near 50 and MACD flattening, indicating consolidation rather than a directional trend.

XRP/BTC Levels and Historical Breakouts

XRP/BTC levels are gaining focus. The pair currently tests 0.00002168, a prior breakout point. Previously, a decisive close above this level triggered a 40% weekly gain in XRP/BTC and a 52.9% rally in XRP/USD, rising from the low $2 range to its peak. Volume expanded significantly during that period, highlighting the potential for a similar move if XRP outperforms Bitcoin again.

A successful close above 0.00002168 could make $1.9 the next resistance level, with $2.1 as a subsequent technical target. Conversely, failure at this level may reinforce selling pressure and push XRP closer to the $1 support zone.

Macro Factors and Fundamental Developments

Market liquidity remains critical. Crypto analyst Adam Spatacco noted that XRP may “normalize” toward $1 or lower during macroeconomic stress, as even assets with utility can decline when investors shift capital to safer options.

Bitcoin below $75,000 and $6 billion in liquidations this year support this view. Profit-taking after ETF launches and exhausted short-term catalysts adds further risk.

Key Levels to Watch for XRP

Short-term focus areas are $1.5 as immediate resistance and $1.15 as confirmed support. The $1 level holds psychological importance. XRP’s current setup suggests that a short-term dip could precede a significant upward move. If the token approaches $1.15 support but holds, buying pressure may increase as traders anticipate a rebound.

Historical data shows that when XRP tests critical levels and stabilizes, momentum often returns sharply. Coupled with XRP/BTC approaching a key resistance point, a successful breakout could push XRP toward new highs.
