XRP is trading at $1.33, down a fraction of a percent, as its 4-hour chart compresses into the narrowest section of a symmetrical triangle. The next 48 to 72 hours could define the token’s trajectory, with volume at $1.57 billion and a market cap of $82 billion. Meanwhile, a separate project called LiquidChain has drawn attention, raising over $810,000 in its presale at a token price of $0.01463.
Triangle Compression and Key Levels
The symmetrical triangle on XRP’s 4-hour timeframe has squeezed price action into a tight range. Immediate resistance stacks between $1.34 and $1.38, while the major trigger band sits at $1.40 to $1.45 — that zone marks the 100-day moving average and the upper boundary of a descending channel. On the downside, support levels cluster at $1.30 and $1.20.
Some analysts have flagged a two-week death cross between the 20-period and 50-period exponential moving averages as bearish. Yet they also note XRP could rally toward the EMA cluster near $1.70. A similar death cross on the weekly chart occurred at the January 2026 lower high near $2.40, followed by a countertrend rally to the 20-week EMA at $1.50, then a rejection in May.
Momentum Indicators Point Lower
The relative strength index sits at 40, below its moving average of 44. The MACD is below the signal line with a slightly negative histogram. These readings suggest short-term bearish pressure, but the compressed triangle means a breakout — in either direction — could come fast. XRP has suffered a 42% annual decline, adding to the cautious tone among traders.
LiquidChain Presale Gains Traction
Separately, LiquidChain, an L3 infrastructure project that aims to solve fragmented liquidity across blockchains, has raised over $810,000 in its presale. The token price is $0.01463. Buyers on the day of this report receive a 1400% APY bonus. The project’s focus on cross-chain liquidity comes as many decentralized ecosystems still struggle with siloed capital.
The presale figure suggests early interest, but the token has not yet launched on any exchange. Whether LiquidChain can deliver on its promise of unified liquidity — and whether its token price holds after the presale phase — remains to be seen. For XRP, all eyes are on the triangle breakout, which could happen within the next three days.
