So, here’s the deal—weeks ago I called for a big breakout in XRP based on what looked like a textbook Wyckoff Accumulation pattern. Everything was lining up perfectly: we had the Preliminary Support (PSY), Automatic Rally (AR), Secondary Test (ST), and even a clean Spring. It all screamed “ready for liftoff.” But then… nothing happened.
That bugged me. The pattern looked so good, so why didn’t we break out?
After going back through the chart, I spotted what I missed: there was one last “Test” phase that hadn’t fully played out. This is a common step in Wyckoff where price revisits support to confirm that demand is truly in control. It’s easy to overlook, especially when the rest of the pattern looks complete.
Now that the Test has occurred and held, we’re finally seeing signs of strength again—back on track with Wyckoff expectations.

🔍 Quick Breakdown of the Chart (See Image Above):
We’re comparing XRP’s current 4H chart with two classic Wyckoff diagrams (bottom right and bottom left). Here’s what we’re seeing:
• PSY (Preliminary Support): Initial stop to the big drop, early buyers step in. ✅
• AR (Automatic Rally): Quick bounce after PSY. ✅
• ST (Secondary Test): Price dips again to test support. ✅
• Spring: The shakeout move—liquidity grab below support before the real move up. ✅
• Test: This is the step I originally missed. Price came back to re-test Spring zone to confirm strength. ✅
• LPS (Last Point of Support): Where price finds a stable footing before trending up. This is what we’re entering now. 🔥

🚀 What to Expect from Here:
• We’ve likely completed the full Wyckoff Accumulation.
• Price is now forming LPS, a key zone before the markup phase (bullish breakout).
• Next target zones are around $2.50 → $3.00, as marked on the chart.
• If we break those resistance lines, we could see a strong upside continuation.

💬 Final Thoughts:
It’s easy to get tunnel vision when you’re looking at these patterns—especially something as nuanced as Wyckoff. But this was a good reminder for me (and hopefully you too) that patience and re-checking your work always pays off.
Now that we’ve accounted for the missing Test, I feel way more confident that this move is real.
Let’s see what XRP brings in the next few sessions.
