XRP Eyes Historic Breakout as Gap Closes Toward Price Discovery

Analysts say XRP could move into price discovery if it closes the $1.20–$1.60 gap, signaling a historic moment.

2026-02-26

XRP has attracted renewed attention as a prominent trader claims it could make history by closing a monthly candle inside the critical $1.20 to $1.60 range—a pattern never sustained in the token’s history. Historically, every time XRP has traded through this zone, candles have sliced through it without establishing a durable base, leaving unfilled gaps and unresolved price action. With XRP pulling back from the 2025 highs above $3, the market appears to be building the final base and filling the inefficiency gap inside its macro range.

If the current monthly candle remains inside the band, the analyst predicts XRP could eventually break out into full price discovery. He notes that price tends to revisit and balance inefficiency gaps before a significant move.

In a separate analysis, XRP’s monthly Stochastic RSI (SRSI) has fallen to 9.34 from around 80 in 2025, a level that last coincided with bear-market bottoms in 2022. Whether this time follows historical patterns or diverges remains uncertain as the market weighs the possibility of a parabolic move.
