However, with price still struggling to clear the $1.53 level, the risk of rejection remains high. A failure at this key barrier could quickly shift <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-sentiment-led-to-a-price-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">sentiment<\/a> and trigger a move lower, making the next reaction crucial for direction.<\/p>\n<h2>Wave E Nears Completion As XRP Tests Key Resistance<\/h2>\n<p>CasiTrades has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CasiTrades\/status\/2046674570674159989?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">highlighted<\/a> that XRP is currently approaching a definitive stage in its market cycle, specifically moving toward the completion of Wave E within a larger consolidation pattern. Technical indicators across multiple subwave degrees are identifying the $1.53 level as the primary resistance hurdle.<\/p>\n<p>The current forecast anticipates a series of upward moves into the $1.50 to $1.53 price range. This bullish remains technically valid as long as the price stays above the critical support of $1.39. A breach below this support would likely disrupt the current wave count and suggest a shift in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-price-upside-rejected-1-40\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">momentum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-892803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/XRP-chart-from-CasiTrades-1.jpg?w=512&amp;resize=512%2C294\" alt=\"XRP\" width=\"512\" height=\"294\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/xrp-news\/xrp-bull-market-analyst-flags-ultimate-buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Market<\/a> observers are also keeping a close eye on Bitcoin\u2019s performance, as its movement could influence XRP\u2019s direction. If Bitcoin rallies into its own resistance zone near $79,000, it would likely provide the necessary tailwind for XRP to challenge the $1.50\u2013$1.53 area. However, there is a risk of a wave failure where XRP falls just short of its target if Bitcoin reaches a local top.<\/p>\n<p>The price action shows a major test of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/supertrend-flips-bullish-on-xrp-daily-chart-but-key-1-55-resistance-awaits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">resistance<\/a> that will likely define XRP\u2019s trajectory for the coming weeks. While a breakout would be significant, a rejection at these higher levels could lead to a sharp retracement to the $1.09 and $0.87 range.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP Struggles To Reclaim $1.50 Resistance<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HovWaves\/status\/2046657265122636001?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">update<\/a>, analyst Hov highlighted that XRP still hasn\u2019t reclaimed the $1.50 level, a key resistance that continues to cap upside momentum. What makes this more notable is that several major cryptocurrencies have already pushed to new local highs, while XRP continues to lag.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This relative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/xrp-news\/xrp-investors-still-pouring-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">weakness<\/a> is beginning to raise concerns, suggesting that buyers have not yet fully stepped in with enough conviction to drive prices higher. From a structural perspective, XRP is currently forming a very clear triangle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/xrp-news\/what-april-could-mean-for-xrp-past-patterns-and-key-price-catalysts-to-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">pattern<\/a>. While this type of pattern often signals a buildup before a breakout, Hov cautions that overly obvious ones can sometimes lead to false expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The key trigger to watch now is a breakout above the ACE trendline. If confirmed, the next upside target sits around the $1.90 region, aligning with a possible wave 3 expansion from the lows. Beyond that, price action will need to be monitored closely to determine whether XRP can sustain a stronger bullish trend or if more consolidation lies ahead.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/KPTxkKMD\/\" alt=\"XRP\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1636\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP is approaching a critical resistance zone as momentum builds toward a potential breakout.
