4-hour chart recap—make it clear:
From July 6 to July 7, price drifted lower from 1.1488, step by step. The downtrend was mild, but each 4-hour candle closed at a lower level. There was a small support around 1.126, but it failed.
July 8 was the key. In the early hours, a 4-hour candle was slammed directly to 1.09, with volume expanding to 106 million. Then the 08:00 candle continued lower, with a low of 1.0745 and a close at 1.086. The 12:00 candle sank to as low as 1.0678, with volume at 100 million—this was the session’s low of the entire move. The shorts dumped heavily, clean and decisive.
At 16:00 the candle started bouncing. It climbed from 1.0731 to 1.0956 and closed at 1.0905, up 1.62%, with volume of 86 million. This was a clear oversold rebound driven by short covering.
On July 9, it traded sideways in the 1.084–1.102 range. Trading volume shrank, lacking a direction. Around 10:00 it briefly topped at 1.1023, but didn’t break through.
From July 10 onward, it started to strengthen. The early-hours candle pulled up to 1.1065, up 1.24%, with volume at 63 million. After that, it kept consolidating tightly between 1.102 and 1.117.
The 12:00 candle showed a pullback, dropping from 1.1118 to 1.0956, but it managed to close back up at 1.1032. This suggests there’s buying support near 1.095.
This current 4-hour cycle (opened at 16:00) has been moving within 1.1105–1.1165. Current price is 1.1149, and volume is relatively light.
Key levels: Support 1.102–1.095 (recent dense trading zone). Strong support 1.086–1.067 (prior lows). Resistance 1.1179 (24h high). Above that is 1.1349 (the high on July 7).
Funding rate is 0.0049%, extremely low. The long/short ratio has long been maintained between 2.7:1 and 2.85:1, with longs holding an absolute advantage. But with the funding rate so low, it means the longs aren’t in a hurry—they’re not aggressively snatching positions. It feels more like adding after being stuck, rather than brand-new capital entering.
Fear & Greed Index is 26—fear territory. Market sentiment is weak, but panic hasn’t reached extremes. At positions like this, it often shows the characteristics of building a base through consolidation.
Whale watch: XRP whale wallet count hit an all-time high of 2,708 in June 2025. Big holders have been accumulating continuously. The exchange-held XRP supply has shrunk to 1.5 billion coins. On-chain data indicates long-term holders are collecting supply, but there’s no notable abnormal large transfer activity in the short term.
News: Search doesn’t show any latest news for now. But XRP’s fundamentals are clear—Ripple’s global banking cooperation is progressing, and ODL keeps expanding. No sudden negative surprises, and no sudden positive catalysts.
Nini’s plan:
At the current price 1.1149, don’t chase. This level is kind of neither here nor there.
Going long: Enter on a pullback in the 1.095–1.102 range. Stop loss at 1.080 (below the recent consolidation range). Target 1.135 (prior high). Risk/reward is 2.3:1. If it breaks above 1.118 with volume and holds, you can cautiously chase with a small position, stop at 1.102, target 1.145.
Going short: If it rebounds and gets blocked in the 1.130–1.135 range, short there. Stop loss 1.150, target 1.102, risk/reward 1.7:1. If it breaks below 1.086 with volume, follow the short—stop at 1.100, target 1.060.
My take: The crowd is heavily on the long side, but there’s a lack of real “fresh money” driving it. The area around 1.10 has been tested repeatedly—if it holds, there’s still room for a rebound. If it breaks, then we’ll look at 1.06. For now, wait for direction—no side-picking.
Is XRP building up strength, or is it distributing? What do you think?
