The analyst provides an overview of XRP's price action, noting a significant bullish move earlier in January, marked by a reclaim of the $2.00 support level. However, current short-term sentiment suggests XRPUSDT is consolidating. Key levels identified include an upside resistance around $2.15, which aligns with a previous yearly value area low, and a strong support zone between $2.05 and $1.95. This lower support area is further reinforced by the 200 EMA and 30-day rolling VWAP. While acknowledging Bitcoin's rally, XRP has been consolidating, and the analyst anticipates a short-term push down towards the $1.95 support. This potential pullback is viewed as an optimal entry point for a short-term long scalp, aiming for a rebound within the consolidation range. Momentum is expected in January for XRP generally. A breakdown below $1.90 would be a bearish development, while a breach above $2.20 would invalidate the immediate bearish outlook.
