$XRP’s rebound to $1.50 over the past few days has given bulls something to work with, but one analyst is warning that the market may be celebrating too early.
Recent price data show $XRP pushed into the mid-$1.50s and even tagged $1.60 this week before momentum cooled again. However, a crypto analyst who goes by the name Guy on the Earth on the social media platform X pointed out that bullish traders should not get ahead of themselves yet until $XRP breaks above one proper price level.
The Push To $1.50 Gave Bulls A Case
The move that $XRP bulls had been waiting for arrived this week. The $XRP price surged from a range low below $1.40, broke above $1.50, and briefly tapped $1.60, a level of greater resistance, before retreating below $1.50 again. At the time of writing, $XRP is now trading at $1.46, which shows that the breakout attempt has not yet fully escaped nearby selling pressure.
Interestingly, that sequence was not a surprise to some, and it fits closely with a reaction on X by crypto analyst Guy on the Earth. According to the analyst, the push to $1.50 was anticipated, given that the $XRP price had held the range lows before breaking out. The important question now is whether $1.50 will hold on the retest or fail. Hold above $1.50, and the next upside levels come into view.
The daily candlestick timeframe chart shared by the analyst shows $XRP still trading within a descending structure since July 2025. The $XRP price is yet to break above the upper boundary of that larger downtrend channel, which means the latest rally has improved the short-term picture without fully repairing the wider one. As it stands, $XRP might even be approaching the channel’s lower trendline if it fails to break and hold above $1.50.
A Roadmap With Conditions Attached
The analyst also laid out a precise set of targets based on how the $XRP price behaves at the $1.50 level. Should it hold above $1.50 in the next few days, then $1.65, $1.80, and $1.96 are the next upside targets in sequence.
Lose $1.50, however, and the picture changes. The analyst characterizes such an outcome as a fakeout, with $1.34 as the next expected destination. Should that level fail to provide support, then $1.20 is the next price level on the table.
The analyst also noted a greater directional signal that’s contingent on the $2.00 price level. According to him, a confirmed $XRP price move above $2.00 in the context of the current wider economic expansion that we are seeing would set the stage for new highs in the weeks or months that follow.
