  • XRP is stuck in a tight price range, and trader Peter Brandt warns of a potential bearish “Head and Shoulders” pattern forming.
  • Key levels to watch: Above $3 = bullish breakout, below $1.90 = possible sharp drop toward $1.07.
  • Legal win and ETF rumors are boosting long-term optimism, but a short-term dip could come first.

XRP’s been hanging tough lately, dancing around the $2 mark for the past month or so. Not exactly explosive, but hey—holding steady’s not bad in this market.

Peter Brandt Spots Something Shady in the Charts

Peter Brandt—you might know the name, old-school trader, been around the charts longer than most—just threw a bit of cold water on the bullish party. In a post on X (yep, still weird calling it that), he pointed out something a bit… ominous: a possible Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern forming on XRP’s chart.

Updating a chart for those interested
I have no vested interest up or down$XRP is forming a textbook H&S pattern.
So, we are now range bound
Above 3.000 I would not want to be short
Below 1.9 I would not want to own it
H&S projects to 1.07

Wait, What’s a Head and Shoulders Pattern Again?

If you’re not deep into technical analysis, here’s the TL;DR: this pattern? It’s usually not great news. It’s the kind of chart formation that shows up when a price run is running out of steam and might flip the other way. Think: bullish enthusiasm turning into bearish jitters.

Brandt’s Warning: XRP Is Range-Bound—for Now

Brandt’s take? “We are now range bound.” In other words, XRP’s kind of stuck in this holding pattern—not crashing, not soaring, just… hovering. Like a bird with nowhere to land.

And according to him, what happens next depends a lot on how XRP handles two very specific price levels.

Above $3, It’s Game On—Below $1.90, Not So Much

“Above 3.0, I would not want to be short,” he said.

Translation: if XRP manages to climb past $3.00, forget the H&S stuff. The whole bearish thesis could go out the window. Short sellers might want to hit pause and rethink their life choices.

But—and here’s the kicker—if XRP dips below $1.90? “I would not want to own it,” Brandt warned.

That’s the danger zone. If the price slips that far down, the bearish pattern could fully lock in. And if that happens, well… buckle up. There’s talk of a possible slide toward $1.07. That’s a level XRP hasn’t seen since, what, November 2024?

Legal Woes Wind Down, and Bulls Catch a Glimmer of Hope

On the flip side of all this chart talk, there’s been some positive buzz too. XRP’s still floating in that $2.35–$2.45 range, showing it’s got some fight left. Volume’s up—17.44% to be exact, clocking in at around $3.04 billion over the past day. Not too shabby.

Part of the optimism comes from the legal front. The long, exhausting tug-of-war between Ripple and the SEC? It’s finally winding down.

Ripple vs. SEC: Finally Settled (Sort of)

Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s top legal brain, dropped the update: Ripple’s dropping its cross-appeal. The SEC’s keeping $50 million from the initial $125 million fine, and that’s that.

After the news, XRP saw a tiny pop—like, 1.25%—but still, at the time of writing, it’s hanging around $2.32, down 3.88% on the day. So yeah… nothing wild.

ETF Hype Heating Up Again

Still, there’s more chatter now about a possible XRP ETF. That’s right. Nate Geraci from ETFStore recently suggested it’s not if—but when. He thinks the big names—Fidelity, BlackRock—are watching closely, maybe even quietly preparing their applications.

Big Drop Before a Bigger Pop?

Some analysts are whispering (okay, tweeting) that XRP could be on the verge of a big dip before a mega rally. Kind of like a slingshot. First, a drop—maybe even all the way back down near $1—but then? A hard bounce back.

Some bold folks out there are tossing around numbers like 10X gains on the rebound. Ambitious? Definitely. Impossible? Eh, not entirely.

Final Thoughts: XRP’s at a Crossroads

So, where does that leave XRP right now? It’s like waiting for a storm that might not come. Holding its breath. Traders are on edge, charts are throwing mixed signals, and the market’s leaning in to see which way this thing breaks.

Will it crash through the ceiling? Or fall through the floor?

Stay tuned.
