The analysis focuses on XRPUSDT, noting a loss of bullish momentum and a current state of sideways price action, described as a 'battle between buys and sells.' Open interest and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicate declining leverage and absorption. The immediate outlook suggests a dip to address imbalances at 1.86 and 1.84, where historical support and passive buying interest are anticipated. Specifically, the price is expected to tap 1.85, which aligns with a respected key support level historically. Following this potential downside tap, and assuming underlying fundamentals remain robust, a rebound is projected. The prediction entails a reclaim above the 7-day rolling VWAP and the monthly Value Area Low, leading to a target price range between 1.98 and 2.04, with a more precise target around 2.02. This target zone encompasses several technical indicators, including the monthly VWAP, quarterly Value Area Low, and 30-day rolling VWAP. While a sustained breakout above $2 might be challenging due to the impending holiday season, the analyst posits that significant bullish momentum, especially early in the week, could facilitate such a move. Trading within the current choppy mid-range is advised against, with focus placed on entries around key support levels or confirmed breakouts above resistance. The overall short-term prediction is for an initial retest of support followed by a bullish impulse towards the $2.02 target.
