- XRP reacted perfectly to a daily demand with imbalance, just as expected
- Price now sits near a key H2 demand that could trigger a bullish move — or get ignored entirely
- Liquidity resting above may attract price before any retest, adding risk to premature short setups
In our previous XRP article, we talked about a classic accumulation phase — the kind that tests your patience and then flips everything upside down.
And that’s exactly what happened. XRP manipulated to the downside, sweeping liquidity below and making it look like everything was about to collapse… just before rocketing back up with strength.
What followed was a textbook move. The price retraced back into that daily demand zone with imbalance — a key area we marked as a potential buy zone — and reacted perfectly.
It filled the imbalance, grabbed resting orders, and used that fuel to push higher.
Now here we are again. XRP is once more dancing on the edge of a decision.
Two Scenarios on the Table
At this moment, price sits just above an H2 demand zone. Will it respect this level and bounce? It’s possible.
We’ve already seen what XRP is capable of when it gets back into demand zones that hold imbalance — and this one checks all the boxes. It’s clean. It’s fresh. And most importantly, it has that unfinished business feel to it.
But — and there’s always a but in crypto — XRP doesn’t need to react here.
The market could decide to skip the niceties and shoot straight for the liquidity sitting above. Why? Because there’s still uncollected stop-loss fuel just above recent highs. And as we both know, liquidity is like a magnet. When it sits there too long, untouched, it tends to get swept.
This puts us in an interesting spot.
If XRP dips into the H2 demand first and gives a strong bullish reaction, the setup might be clean. If it skips it altogether and rips higher, that tells us the market is hunting liquidity more aggressively than it’s respecting structure — and that’s a key piece of information.
This whole situation reminds me of a time when I expected a clean retest before a breakout. Price flirted with the zone, teased a dip… and then just launched. No retest, no warning. Only liquidity hunt, followed by lift-off. That’s what XRP might be setting up here again.
XRP Price Prediction – Near-Term Outlook
So what’s next?
If XRP respects the H2 demand, we could see a short-term bullish move.
If it skips the demand and pushes straight up, the target could be the liquidity zone above the daily highs, possibly even extending toward the $3 mark if the momentum follows through.
And as always, this is not financial advice — it’s scenario mapping. Because we don’t trade certainties, we trade probabilities.
