XRP may enter another two-year sideways phase as 4-year cycle points to prolonged stagnation

  • —XRP is trapped between $1.30 and $1.59 with weekly Bollinger Bands at extreme compression
  • —XRP open interest stands near a record $3.1 billion
  • —RSI at 44 signals a near-total absence of directional momentum
  • —Previous stagnation phases each lasted about two years: Sept 2018–Nov 2020 and Sept 2022–Nov 2024
Why it matters: Without an external catalyst, XRP risks staying range-bound, where brief moves trigger repeated stop-outs and gradually drain record open interest.
