Major Ripple Rally Ahead? XRP Eyes Explosive Move After Triangle Breakout

TL;DR

• XRP approaches triangle resistance at $2.95, with $3.60 as the next technical target.
• Futures open interest hits $7.94B, reflecting high trader positioning ahead of key move.
• 280-day consolidation may end soon as the price compresses and the volume setup builds.

XRP Price Nears Key Technical Level

XRP is trading around $2.95, positioned near the top of a descending triangle that has formed on the 12-hour chart. The setup shows horizontal support at $2.75 and a downward trendline from late July to early September. The current structure signals a potential breakout as the price presses against resistance.

Fibonacci levels between $3.10 and $3.40 show possible checkpoints before the price reaches that level. These areas could act as temporary resistance if the breakout continues. A brief retest near $3.00 could follow, based on historical chart behavior.

Meanwhile, failure to break above the triangle could send the ассет back toward $2.75. A move below $2.65 would cancel the bullish setup.

Market Still Lacks Strong Confirmation

Technical analyst CRYPTOWZRD reported that XRP’s daily candle closed without a clear direction.

“We will have to wait for the next healthy price action to get the next mature chart formation,” he noted.

The daily chart shows XRP trading just above the lower-high trendline, but the move lacks volume confirmation.

They would monitor the chart for entries above $3.13, with an earlier possibility near $3.05 if the market shows signs of stability. The analyst also confirmed that his current position is already secured.

Lower time frames showed inconsistent momentum during the day, and further moves depend on clean structure and volume. Without it, new positions remain on hold.

Futures Traders Position for Movement

Data from Coinglass shows that XRP Futures Open Interest stands at $7.94 billion. This is a sharp increase compared to earlier months, where figures stayed below $2 billion. The rise reflects strong participation from derivatives traders.

A spike in open interest shows many contracts remain active, but it does not indicate direction. It does show that traders are preparing for volatility after an extended quiet period in price action.

Trader Galaxy commented,

“Pure consolidation for over 280 days in the $2-3 range, and running out of space to compress.”

The chart shows XRP has moved mostly sideways within this zone since late last year.

Notably, this compression near resistance and rising open interest are signals that traders are watching for a breakout. The next few sessions will be critical as price tests the upper edge of the triangle.
