Technical analysis by MrWhale about Symbol XRP on 12/18/2025

**XRP Monthly Update – Risk of Losing Key Support** XRP is currently threatening to lose its long-held monthly support level. With ~14 days remaining until the December monthly close, a swift recovery is critical. **Bullish Requirement** - Need consecutive daily candle closes back above the monthly support as soon as possible. - If price fails to reclaim and hold this level within the next 7–8 days, the monthly support will likely be fully lost, opening the door to a significant downside move. **Bearish Scenario (Increasingly Likely)** - First potential temporary support: Daily level around **$1.49** region. Expect this to act only as short-term relief (likely holding on 1H or lower timeframes) before giving way. - Next major target: **$1.10–$1.20** zone – this aligns with the descending weekly trendline and should produce a local bounce. - If the weekly trendline respects (acts as resistance on the bounce), XRP will continue forming lower lows, ultimately driving price toward the **macro apex** (highlighted in yellow) around mid-2026. **Key Levels to Watch** - Immediate: Monthly support (must reclaim quickly) - Downside: $1.49 (daily), then $1.10–$1.20 (weekly trendline) - Macro target: Yellow apex box (mid-next year) Bias shifts strongly bearish on confirmed monthly close below current support. Monitoring closely for either reclamation or breakdown confirmation.
