Understanding XRP’s Potential Historic Move

According to Austin, XRP has previously fluctuated within the $1.20 to $1.60 price range without ever closing a monthly candle inside it. Each time the cryptocurrency has traded in this zone, the monthly candles have either closed above or below, indicating that a consistent price structure never emerged.

Historically, during the 2018 peak and the 2021 bull run, XRP briefly entered this significant range. However, monthly candles have not established a strong support or resistance base, thus leaving many gaps and unresolved price actions in its wake.

Now, with the current monthly candle trading within this price bracket after XRP’s correction from its 2025 peak above $3, Austin posits that the market might be in the process of filling what he terms "the final inefficiency gap." He interprets XRP's recent price correction not as a sign of weakness but as a development of an essential base that has long been absent in the cryptocurrency's history.

If XRP can maintain its current pricing and close the monthly candle within this range, Austin believes it could lead to an eventual breakout into a full-fledged price discovery phase. He has previously emphasized that prices often revisit and rectify inefficiency gaps, and once these gaps are filled, price expansion could follow.

Is XRP Ready for a Parabolic Surge?

In his latest technical analysis, Austin highlighted that XRP’s monthly Stochastic Relative Strength Index (SRSI) has hit an all-time low, standing at 9.34, down from around 80 in 2025.

Austin notes that the last time XRP was at such a low level was in 2022, just before a bull market low. Furthermore, when it approached this position again in 2024, it set the stage for a sharp increase in prices. With the current SRSI reflecting a similar depressed state, Austin raises the question of whether price movements will align with historical patterns or if this situation is different.
