šĀ XRPās Pullback Looks Scary But the Monthly Chart Is Quietly Eyeing $9ā¦ $13ā¦ Maybe Even $15
XRPās recent pullback has shaken short-term traders, but the higher-timeframe picture tells a very different story one that refuses to die, even as lower charts bleed.
Hold above itā¦ and the entire narrative flips.
This explains the anxiety, the hesitation, the noise.
But the monthly?
The monthly refuses to break.
The rising channel remains intact ā and when monthly structure holds, momentum can turn violently.
XRP is trading at $2.18, up 8.5% in 24 hours, barely down on the weekly.
A small scratch in price, but a loud scream in sentiment.
The long-term model highlighted in reports points to a $9ā$13 target band, with a 55ā65% probability in the next 3ā6 months if the monthly candle keeps its footing.
But hereās where it gets wild:
A breakout of this rising channel ā combined with ETF demand, RLUSD expansion in Japan (Q1 2026), and accelerating institutional flows could put $15 into the realm of ānot impossible, just uncomfortable.ā
Spot XRP ETFs have already accumulated over $756M since launch.
This isnāt retail.
This is structural demand forming a floor beneath the market.
Meanwhile, Ripple unlocked 1B XRP from escrow for December routine, but heavily watched.
One of the 500M batches moved at a value of $1.08B, landing in the Ripple (9) wallet.
Supply returnsā¦ slowly.
But higher-timeframe buyers have historically absorbed these releases without losing the macro structure.
Short-term charts remain weak ā momentum indicators are flat, pressure is still present, and lower frames may bleed further.
But one thing is certain in markets shaped by whales, ETFs, and macro liquidity:
When monthly momentum flipsā¦ it flips like an avalanche.
And no 4H candle can stop what the monthly decides.
So traders split into two tribes:
Those staring at the pullback and those studying the structure.
