XRP Long-Awaited Wave Structure Finally Unfolds – What Comes Next?

Source Newsbtc

XRP has entered a pivotal stage as the wave structure traders have been tracking for months finally begins to take shape. With volatility increasing and crucial price levels approaching, the next few moves could provide valuable clues about whether XRP is nearing a bottom or preparing for another leg lower before a sustained recovery can begin.

Breaking Key Support As Long-Awaited Setup Unfolds

According to CasiTrades, the crypto market is finally showing the selling pressure that many analysts have been anticipating for months. As a result, XRP has begun breaking below a key support level, signaling that the correction may be entering a more decisive phase.

The analyst explained that the development of smaller subwaves has been closely monitored to determine whether the market’s ultimate downside target would be around $1.10 or the $0.87 support zone. Based on the current structure, CasiTrades believes XRP is forming a subwave 3 decline, a phase that is typically known for being the strongest and fastest part of an Elliott Wave correction. Such waves often bring accelerated downside momentum and can quickly drive prices toward major support areas.

From a technical standpoint, the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of the current move points to a target near $0.92. This level sits just above the long-discussed $0.87 support zone, strengthening the case that XRP could be approaching a critical phase.

XRP’s Projected Roadmap: Drop, Bounce, Then One Final Test

CasiTrades’ current market roadmap for XRP outlines an anticipated trajectory consisting of three distinct phases. The initial expectation is a sharp move down toward the $0.92 level, followed by a relief bounce back toward approximately $1.20, which is projected to function as resistance. This path concludes with one final downward move aimed at testing the critical $0.87 support zone.

However, it is essential to remember that market behavior rarely adheres perfectly to textbook projections. While this three-wave sequence represents the primary expectation, there is a distinct possibility that the market could deviate from this path.

If the reaction from the W3 low exhibits enough force, there is a viable chance that XRP may not require a final wave to reach the $0.87 support. The earliest indicator of this scenario would be the price reclaiming key resistance levels and decisively breaking above $1.30 with clear strength.

We have spent the last four months monitoring the market as this specific structure developed, and we are finally arriving at the most critical phase. As we approach these pivotal levels, the upcoming price action will be decisive in determining whether the correction concludes early or proceeds to its final intended target.
