XRP is entering a decisive phase as price action continues to compress within a large triangle formation on the higher timeframes. With volatility tightening and momentum cooling, analysts suggest the asset could soon test a critical support zone between $0.90 and $0.60.
Triangle Compression Points to Key $0.90–$0.60 Support Zone For XRP
Market expert Ali Martinez recently speculated in an X post that XRP is eyeing support around the $0.90 and $0.60 region. Martinez made this observation after analyzing the token’s monthly chart, which shows that it is forming a large triangle with support along its hypotenuse.
According to his assessment, the lower boundary represents a dynamic support trendline that could attract buyers if bearish pressure persists. As the token approaches the apex of the triangle, volatility could increase, increasing the likelihood of a decisive breakout.
Earlier, on February 13, 2026, Martinez had projected that the token could find support around the $0.80 zone after reviewing the weekly timeframe. XRP currently trades around $1.39, and while Martinez believes the token could find support around $0.90 if bearish pressure intensifies, his outlook could signal further downside.
Analysts Divided As Bullish and Bearish Forecasts Clash
Analysts remain divided on XRP’s next trajectory. While some speculated that the asset could be in for further downside due to increased bearish pressure, others maintain a more bullish outlook.
One such expert is EGRAG CRYPTO, who recently speculated that XRP is currently in a “reset mode,” with an expansion phase expected to follow. According to his projection, the token could surge toward $100 during this expansion phase if all macro and market factors align.
Adding to the mixed outlook, analysts from Standard Chartered have also revised their expectations. The banking giant had in 2025 predicted that XRP would climb to $8 by the end of 2026. However, that forecast has since been retracted, with the institution now projecting a more conservative rise to $2.80, notably below its current all-time high of $3.65. The contrasting projections highlight the uncertainty surrounding the token’s next major move.
Demand Signals Emerge Despite Uncertainty
Meanwhile, amid the uncertainty looming over XRP’s price trajectory, on-chain and exchange data suggest growing spot demand. Recently, XRP spot purchase volume on Bitrue spiked by 212%, with buyers outnumbering sellers by more than 2-to-1, indicating stronger demand at current price levels.
Further reinforcing this sentiment, XRP exchange-traded funds also recorded a modest inflow of $3.09 million, signaling continued institutional interest despite the prevailing technical risks. These developments suggest that while analysts remain split on the short-term outlook, a segment of market participants appears to be accumulating at current levels.
