XRP price is drawing attention from chart watchers for both macro and short-term technical signals. Technical analyst ChartNerdTA posted on X that XRP is building what is called Base 3 — a multi-year accumulation zone sitting below a long-standing resistance ceiling that has defined the asset’s macro structure for over a decade.
According to ChartNerdTA, Base 1 formed between 2014 and 2017, a years-long sideways grind below multi-year resistance. When the breakout came, XRP surged thousands of percent and briefly became one of the largest assets by market cap. Base 2 repeated the pattern from 2018 into 2020, leading to another violent move upward into the 2021 bull cycle. Now Base 3 is forming in the $0.90 to $0.70 area, with XRP trading around $1.43 as of April 24, 2026.
ChartNerdTA wrote: “These accumulation bases have historically powered violent rallies,” and noted that the trigger is not yet confirmed: “If the signal fires, don’t miss it.”
On the short-term horizon, analyst Ali Charts highlighted a symmetrical triangle pattern on XRP’s hourly chart, suggesting a potential 10% move could develop soon. Key resistance sits near $1.445, while support holds around $1.415. A breakout beyond these levels could trigger a broader shift in momentum.
The macro base thesis and the near-term triangle setup are not in conflict — they operate on different timeframes. The 10-year base pattern offers structural context, while the triangle setup points to immediate volatility expectations.
