XRP enters a critical stage of the market cycle, analysts warn of downside risks
Cryptocurrency analyst Bird pointed out that XRP has been 589 days since its last high and is currently in a critical stage of the current market cycle. He mentioned that 589 days have passed since XRP reached a local high on January 16, 2025 (what Bird called the "true top" of the asset). According to the latest data, XRP is trading at approximately $1.43.
589 and its special status in the XRP community narrative
In the XRP community, the number 589 has a unique status. It stems from an old narrative that linked 589 to a speculative target price and has now become a widely recognized symbol among long-time XRP supporters. The latest reference to 589 refers to the number of days that have passed since the asset's main price peak, rather than the target price. Some social media users have noticed that some coincidences have further attracted community attention to 589. However, these correlations vary, and Bird's focus remains on viewing 589 as a measure of time since the last major market high rather than an indicator of future price potential. Bird commented that 589 days have passed since prices peaked in January 2025 and reminded followers to "be prepared for unexpected situations."
XRP Price Trend and US$1.50 Resistance
Judging from chart technical data shared by Bird, XRP fluctuates between US$1 and US$1.50 for most of 2026. After a rapid rise in late 2024 (an increase of more than 500% to exceed $3), the token briefly hit an all-time high of $3.65. However, prices then entered a long-term downward trend, and multiple rebound attempts failed to break through key resistance levels. Currently, after experiencing a slight increase, the asset is trading at close to $1.43, near the upper boundary of the current consolidation range. The $1.50 mark has now become short-term resistance. A breakthrough may indicate the formation of a new trading range; conversely, if it continues to be blocked, it may strengthen the downward range of US$1 to US$1.50.
Cycle: End of 2024-price high of US$3.65;2026-support/resistance range of US$1.00 -1.50 (resistance level of US$1.50); current-price of US$1.43, range of US$1.00 -1.50.
XRP Outlook
Analysts believe that XRP is currently at a turning point, trading prices slightly below key resistance areas. Bird's cycle-centered analysis puts the starting point for the current decline at a January 2025 high. The asset is currently in a consolidation stage after more than a year of decline. If it breaks through US$1.50, it is expected to open the price target range corresponding to previous highs. However, if XRP continues to trade below this level, technical signals indicate that the current sideways trend is likely to continue and the market focus will be on the US$1 support area.
The price direction of XRP depends on the response to $1.50. If we can continue to stand above this level, it may indicate a change in the range; if we continue to be limited by this level, the current consolidation stage will continue.
