SELL XRPUSD – 1.3631

The trade is based on a confluence of technical and fundamental factors. On the 4‑hour chart XRP/USD has formed an equal‑high‑low sweep that acted as a sell‑sweep, accompanied by a sharp increase in volume and an OBV divergence indicating that buying pressure is weakening. Multi‑timeframe analysis shows a bearish bias, with the H4 trend down about 18% and the price breaking key structural support, placing the stop‑loss just above the recent swing high at 1.4631. At the same time, the broader cryptocurrency market is in a risk‑off phase: Bitcoin has slipped below $68,000, open interest has contracted and sentiment is low, which tends to pull altcoins like XRP lower. The combination of a strong technical breakdown and deteriorating macro‑crypto conditions gives a high‑confidence short setup, targeting successive 800‑pips moves to 1.2831, 1.2131 and 1.1131.
