Will XRP’s $1.36 Test Turn Last Week’s Breakdown Into a Fake-Out?

XRP could recover toward $1.44–$1.45 if it holds a reclaim of the $1.34–$1.36 zone, according to a prominent analyst reviewing its price structure and derivatives positioning. The central claim: improving market conditions have made last week’s bearish move look less convincing, though a sharp rally is not the base case. That price band is the immediate test. Moving back above it would return XRP to its previous trading range and strengthen the argument that the earlier breakdown was a “fake-out,” rather than the start of a sustained decline.
