Crypto expert Zach Rector has urged market participants to step back from daily price swings to seek structure. His latest chart shows XRP’s 2025 price action as a steady process rather than a stalled market.
The post focuses on trend behavior that has developed since April and remains intact despite months of volatility.
The XRP chart on Coinbase shares the real story. Higher lows being set all year after the lows in April to $1.60. 10/10 took us to $1.77 & on 11/21 we went to $1.81. The setup is so pure if you tune out the noise and FUD. pic.twitter.com/71TjIKyyng

Higher Lows Define the Trend
The key feature in Rector’s chart is the sequence of higher lows. XRP printed a low of $1.6 in April. Since then, pullbacks have failed to break that level. Instead, the market has stepped higher during each major retrace. Rector notes that XRP reached $1.77 on October 10 following a flash crash. Afterward, it pushed to $1.81 on November 21.
Those levels matter because they occurred after corrections, not during impulse moves. This behavior signals buyer presence at progressively higher prices. The pattern reduces the probability of a trend breakdown as the price remains above the rising support line shown on the chart.
The chart also shows XRP holding above long-term diagonal support even during sharp drawdowns in October and November. Price reacted quickly after testing that zone. That reaction reinforces the idea that underlying demand persists.
Resistance Zones and Market Patience
Rector’s chart marks clear resistance areas above the current price. XRP has struggled to hold above the $2.65 and $2.9 regions, with $3 acting as a ceiling during prior rallies. These zones have rejected the asset multiple times. The market has not yet decisively reclaimed them.
Rather than seeing that as a weakness, Rector believes that it shows consolidation above higher structural lows. He writes, “The setup is so pure if you tune out the noise and FUD.” He believes that the pattern remains valid even without immediate upside continuation.
At the time of his analysis, XRP traded at $2.08. While some analysts anticipate a decline, this level places its price closer to support than resistance. From a technical standpoint, this positioning often attracts attention from traders watching for trend continuation rather than breakout exhaustion.
Where XRP Could Be Headed
If higher lows continue, pressure will build beneath resistance. The chart implies that a sustained move above $2.65 would shift market structure and open a path toward the $2.9 to $3 range. Failure to hold the rising support line would invalidate the setup and change the outlook.
Rector does not offer a price prediction, but focuses on what the chart confirms today. XRP has not broken down and has not lost its trend since April. As long as that structure holds, there is a good chance for a breakout.
