Crypto Crew University, a popular YouTuber, says XRP is getting ready for another major price move.
In a recent video, he said XRP’s current monthly RSI pattern looks similar to patterns that appeared before major price increases in 2017 and 2021.
He uses a custom indicator to identify what he considers a key buying zone. According to him, XRP reached the lower part of this zone in October 2025 and again in August 2026.
He also pointed to similar patterns in earlier market cycles, including periods when XRP traded around $0.04 and $0.004, as well as in December 2013.
XRP RSI Pattern May Signal Another Move
The main signal Crypto Crew University is watching is XRP’s RSI, an indicator that tracks momentum. He says XRP’s monthly RSI recently dropped below its moving average, creating what he calls a “pocket.” He says a similar pattern appeared in 2018 and 2022.
Instead of buying immediately, he is waiting for the RSI to move back above the moving average. He says this crossover could be the signal to enter XRP.
As an example, he points to June 2020, when XRP was trading around $0.18 and the RSI crossed back above the moving average. XRP later rose to nearly $2, according to his analysis.
He also points to another example in which XRP was trading around $0.37 before eventually rising to about $3.30.
The Setup Is Repeating
Crypto Crew University believes XRP is showing a pattern similar to those seen in past market cycles. He says that in 2025, XRP’s RSI reached its highest level since 2017 before XRP hit a market peak of $3.66 in July 2025.
The RSI then fell below its moving average, creating the “pocket” he is watching now. Notably, the decline coincided with XRP’s price drop from around $3.60 to below $1 in the following months.
Now, the analyst says his next signal is for the RSI to move back above the moving average for another price explosion. However, past patterns do not guarantee that XRP will repeat the same performance. Market conditions change from one cycle to another.
At press time, XRP is trading at $1.53, up 2.2% over the past day and 15.74% over the past week. The coin moved from $1.2468 this week to reach $1.6582 before slightly retracing. In August, XRP also moved from $0.978 to $1.70 before retracing. These swift surges and pullbacks are giving bulls confidence in a higher price outlook.
XRP’s $2.7B Liquidation Zone Problem
Meanwhile, XRP is facing a major liquidity test, with $2.7 billion in liquidation leverage concentrated around $0.98–$1.00, according to CoinGlass. At the same time, significant liquidity is present around $1.80 and $2.00, leaving XRP between major liquidity zones on both sides.
The data suggests the possibility of a fall below $1 and a rise toward $2, although the $1 liquidity zone is significantly stronger. However, analyst ChartNerd stressed that liquidity at $1 does not guarantee a move to that level.
ChartNerd expects a major price move once XRP breaks out of its current range, describing the setup as a possible “liquidity hunt.”
