XRP has recently been showing an interesting rhythm. With many years in the industry, I am particularly sensitive to this kind of "calm before the storm" — a market state that often signals an upcoming big move.

Many people don’t understand what’s so special about XRP’s daily small fluctuations, but the most fierce rebounds in the crypto market never occur during the lively daily oscillations; instead, they lurk behind those long "tedious sideways periods." It’s like a pressure cooker: before the pressure builds up enough, the lid remains still; once it reaches a critical point, it suddenly releases with great force. XRP is a typical representative of this kind of asset.

Analyzing historical trends reveals a pattern: XRP’s signature move is "long-term consolidation + sudden breakout." In the past, those multi-fold rallies were preceded by months or even half a year of narrow fluctuations, gradually weeding out impatient retail investors, secretly consolidating chips, and then suddenly breaking out with a big bullish candle, leaving those who missed the move behind. The current market structure is almost identical to the pattern I precisely predicted before that 3x surge.

Looking at recent chart signals makes it even clearer: the price fluctuation range is continuously narrowing, daily gains and losses are so small they’re almost sleep-inducing, and volatility indicators have fallen to new lows. This is not a sign that the market is dead; on the contrary — it’s a signal that "energy is being stored." The market is like a poised boxer, seemingly stopped but actually quietly adjusting breathing and aiming at the target. Once a breakout point is found, it could be the moment of a fierce strike.
