The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a sharp downturn today, with Bitcoin dominance surging by 0.90% in the last 24 hours, now sitting at 61.2%. This increased dominance has put significant pressure on altcoins, leading to widespread corrections.
Amid this market-wide pullback, XRP has dropped by over 2%, extending its 30-day correction beyond 15%.

XRP Technical Setup: Repeating a Bullish Pattern?
XRP has been one of the standout performers in recent months, surging over 400% from its November low of $0.58. Throughout this run, the price has formed a primary ascending channel with multiple Bump-and-Run Reversal (BARR) patterns—a bullish technical formation that often precedes strong upward moves.
XRP Daily Chart/Coinsprobe (Source: Tradingview) Currently, XRP is trading at $2.61, following a structure similar to the previous BARR breakout. In the past, a breakout from the neckline triggered a 40% surge, and the current setup suggests a potential repeat of this move.
If XRP manages to hold above its trendline support and reclaim the 25-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), it could gain momentum for another breakout attempt. A successful breakout above the neckline resistance may fuel a rally toward the upper trendline of the channel, targeting $3.67.
The MACD indicator is currently showing early signs of a bullish crossover, hinting at a potential momentum shift.
Final Thoughts
While XRP is facing near-term resistance, its historical pattern suggests a strong recovery could be on the horizon. If the price follows its previous breakout behavior, a move above key resistance levels could open the doors for a new leg up. However, traders should closely monitor Bitcoin dominance and broader market trends, as they could influence XRP’s next move.
