XRP Is Caressing Its 13 Month Support Base. Here’s the Significance

Crypto analyst ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA) is closely tracking XRP as the asset trades at a level that has defined its structure for more than a year. In his latest chart analysis, the focus is not on short-term volatility but on a long-established support base that now sits under direct pressure.

XRP’s price action has compressed into a narrowing range, forcing what ChartNerd views as a decisive moment for the asset. It currently sits on a 13-month support zone that has repeatedly absorbed selling pressure. According to the analyst, this area represents the dividing line between continuation and a deeper corrective move.

The chart shows XRP trading within a descending broadening wedge, a structure defined by lower highs and volatility. While the pattern allows for both outcomes, ChartNerd emphasized that the support base must hold to sustain bullish momentum. He described the setup as “the fine line between moonshot, or the sweep,” highlighting how little margin remains before a larger reaction unfolds.

$XRP is caressing its 13 month support base. The fine line between moonshot, or the sweep. Hold multi-month support, the launchpad looks ready. Lose support, then the "Lower Base Sweep" will come into effect within this Descending Broadening Wedge. See through the storm.

Multi-Month Support Defines the Short-Term Outlook

The support zone has acted as a pivot throughout the past 13 months. Each prior test resulted in a bounce that restored higher price levels. One of these bounces pushed XRP to its all-time high of $3.65 in July. This rally gave rise to the descending broadening wedge, setting XRP down the path that currently defines its potential trajectory.

ChartNerd emphasized that the consistency of this pattern matters. In his view, holding this area keeps XRP positioned for what he described as a launchpad. That scenario depends on sustained closes above support and a gradual reduction in selling pressure from the wedge resistance. The structure does not require an immediate breakout, but requires stability.

Risk of a Lower Base Sweep Still Exists

ChartNerd also outlined the alternative outcome. A failure to hold multi-month support would trigger what ChartNerd called a “Lower Base Sweep.” His chart indicates the 0.382 Fibonacci level near $1.55 as the likely target. XRP previously fell to similar levels during a flash crash in October.

However, he stressed that such a move would not break the larger cycle. Instead, it would complete a corrective phase before continuation. “See through the storm,” he wrote, urging patience during heightened volatility.

What Comes Next for XRP?

XRP now trades in a compressed technical window where reaction matters more than prediction. The chart shows clear levels and highlights the importance of support levels. Resistance levels define confirmation, and if XRP holds the 13-month base, the structure favors continuation within the wedge and eventual upside resolution.
