Market data suggests that $XRP could trigger a “jump across the creek” toward new highs after the Wyckoff Spring low.
$XRP trades at $1.59 as the broader crypto market remains weak, but the recent pullback follows a Wyckoff Accumulation pattern that may be leading to higher prices once the existing structure plays out as expected.
Notably, the daily chart shows $XRP’s price moving through the final stages of consolidation after a strong upsurge, with the current action suggesting the market is preparing to “jump across the creek” to a price around $4.9 after recently hitting the Spring low.
Key Points
- $XRP currently faces bearish pressure, but market data indicates the downtrend is part of a larger Wyckoff Accumulation pattern.
- Phase A of the pattern began in November 2025 when $XRP’s price surged from $0.5 to the $3.4 peak two months later.
- From there, an automatic pullback and follow-up test emerged, creating an accumulation range, with support around $1.50 to $1.60 and resistance between $3 and $3.6.
- As $XRP consolidated, a sloping resistance line formed the creek, which represented the major barrier prices must break to show strength.
- In Phase C, a Spring emerged as the price dipped under $1.50 and quickly reclaimed the range.
- A move above the creek would signal a sign of strength and Phase D, opening the way for a rally toward $4.9.
$XRP’s November 2025 Rally Marks the Start of Accumulation
Chart Nerd, a market watcher, discussed this during a recent analysis. Data from his chart shows that the Wyckoff structure began in November 2025, when $XRP broke out from a long base around $0.5.
After the U.S. elections, buyers entered the market, pushing prices above the $1 and $2 resistance levels. Amid this move, stronger participants absorbed supply at higher levels. As the momentum persisted, $XRP hit the buying climax (BC) at the $3.4 peak in January 2025.
This $3.4 area later became the upper boundary of the accumulation range. Once demand cooled, $XRP pulled back, forming an automatic reaction (AR) that set the lower boundary of the range at around $1.6. A rebound attempt followed but failed to break higher, creating a secondary test (ST) that confirmed resistance and completed Phase A of the Wyckoff structure.
Phase B Consolidation Builds the Creek
After Phase A, $XRP entered a prolonged Phase B, featuring sideways movement and repeated swings between support and resistance. The price spent months trading between $1.60 to $1.90 on the downside and $3.30 to $3.6 on the upside. During this phase, large participants continued to absorb supply without forcing a sustained breakout.
The chart also highlights an upthrust during Phase B, where $XRP briefly moved above the resistance before quickly reversing back into the range.
This failed breakout trapped late buyers and confirmed that accumulation was dominant, not distribution. Over time, a descending internal resistance line formed across lower highs. Notably, this sloping barrier represents the creek, a level the price must clear to confirm renewed strength.
$XRP Sees Spring Below Support in Phase C
As the range matured, $XRP showed signs of weakness through lower highs. This led to Phase C, which brought up the most important event in the structure: the Spring. $XRP now trades within this phase. Specifically, the price dropped below support, briefly dipping into the $1.50 support on Jan. 31.
In Wyckoff theory, the Spring acts as a shakeout. Notably, it forces weak holders out, triggers stop losses, and draws in short sellers, while stronger hands absorb the remaining supply. $XRP quickly reclaimed the $1.60 area and followed up with a successful test that held above the Spring low. This showed that selling pressure had largely run its course.
Jump Across the Creek Could Push $XRP to $4.9
With the Spring and test complete, the structure now heads toward Phase D. Chart Nerd called attention to the potential for a Jump Across the Creek, which would see $XRP break above the descending creek trendline. This move would confirm that buyers have regained control.
After the jump, Wyckoff principles call for a last point of support, where price pulls back briefly but holds above former resistance. A strong follow-through, known as a sign of strength (SOS), would then carry $XRP toward the top of the range above $3.
Meanwhile, the projected roadmap moves beyond this zone, suggesting that a confirmed breakout could trigger Phase E, the markup phase, with $XRP advancing toward the $4.9 level.
