XRP is currently trading at a crucial price level. At $1.4955 on the 4-hour chart, the asset sits directly between two clearly defined zones that traders have been watching.

Crypto analyst Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto) has identified the setup and laid out what the levels mean for price action ahead. The chart shows LuxAlgo’s Order Block Detector and Buyside/Sellside Liquidity indicators. The structure is clear.

Green order blocks stack between $1.25 and $1.45, providing layered support beneath current price. Red order blocks sit between $1.54 and $1.70, creating resistance overhead. XRP is currently caught between these two forces.

The Resistance Level to Watch

Xaif identifies the immediate resistance zone as $1.54 to $1.56. This area aligns with the lower boundary of the red order block cluster visible on the chart. XRP has already tested this zone and pulled back, causing a major dip in market sentiment. The current candle sits below it, confirming its relevance as a barrier.

Above $1.56, the chart shows a thicker red block extending toward $1.65 and another toward $1.70. These are sell-side liquidity zones where prior selling pressure originated. A move through $1.55 would require absorbing that supply.

Xaif said, “Once XRP clears $1.55, there’s a lot of buying pressure sitting above.” He projects that “a clean break could send price above $1.75 quickly.” The $1.75 level sits above the visible red zones on the chart, suggesting a full sweep of the overhead liquidity clusters before reaching that target.

Support Holds the Structure

On the downside, Xaif places support at $1.44 to $1.47. The chart confirms this. A green order block sits squarely in that range, and the price bounced from this area after the most recent pullback. The block held, and XRP has since consolidated just above it.

Below that, additional green blocks are visible near $1.35 and $1.25. These levels represent deeper support if the $1.44 zone fails. So far, the structure has not required testing those lower levels.

What the Chart Shows Now

XRP has not broken convincingly in either direction. The dashed horizontal line near $1.4955 marks the current price, positioned between the green support cluster and the base of the red resistance zone.

Xaif calls this a make-or-break zone. The chart supports that assessment. XRP must either absorb the $1.56 resistance or hold support at $1.44. The next move from this level will be significant for the near-term trend.
