In a new market breakdown published today, crypto analyst CryptoInsightUK argues that XRP has reached a “liquidity flashpoint” that could accelerate price discovery toward the mid-$4 range once key resistance is reclaimed. He anchors the call to a cluster of liquidity sitting above the $3.40 area and an improving relative-strength backdrop versus Bitcoin, Ethereum and even gold, while cautioning that the US CPI print due tomorrow could inject short-term volatility in either direction.
Be aware that tomorrow there is CPI news coming from the US and it probably, most likely at this point in the market, brings with it some sort of volatility,” he said, adding that while the move “could be to the upside,” there is still “liquidity sitting below us” that could be swept before continuation. The analyst frames the recent grind higher as constructive but “choppy,” with a pattern of slightly higher lows that would invalidate quickly if one of those pivots is lost.
$4.20–$4.50 Is The Target Zone As XRP Liquidity Builds
XRP remains his top altcoin setup. “XRP is the base case of something that I think is looking pretty strong right now,” he said. The pair has “formed a nice bottoming pattern” and broken out, but is now “fighting against these previous swing highs.” In his view, the immediate task is a sequence of closes through successive resistance shelves—including the zone just under $3.40—after which the path to the former peak opens. “As soon as we start to get that level broken then… we could argue that all-time highs [are] back on the table,” he said, noting that from the recent local bottom XRP is “up 11%,” and that another ~10% burst through resistance “probably comes pretty quickly.”

On higher time frames, he highlights a stacked band of resting interest overhead. “On the daily [for XRP, there is] significant liquidity above us and over the last 2–3 days more has been building in here. When we start to break that $3.40 level… this is the all-time high and we probably resume this march back towards $4.20, $4.30 and then realistically $4.50 is where all this liquidity is sitting right now.”
While he characterizes that as the base case, he keeps risk balanced: “It’s not time to get 100% definite [that we’re] going to the upside… We could argue that [liquidity below] could be taken before we go higher especially if Bitcoin and ETH come down.”
The cross-asset context matters for his XRP view. He sees Bitcoin at an inflection defined by structural waypoints—“a break above the $111,003 and then… $114,300… and then… above this high here about $117k”—with the daily map still showing “significant liquidity above.” Ethereum, he says, has a “dense” pocket of bids just below, but has been “losing strength against other alts,” creating a window in which ETH might wick lower to clean up liquidity while alts with stronger relative momentum hold up better.
That relative momentum is where he places XRP. On XRP/ETH, he notes a sequence of “lows, highs, higher lows and higher highs,” arguing the pair is “back in an uptrend.” He draws attention to the four-hour RSI repeatedly tagging overbought during prior upside phases: “When we start to hit this four hour overbought area… momentum looks like it is pushing back to the upside… it has led to quite significant price action.”
He flags 0.000071 on XRP/ETH as a confirmation pivot that would “give us more confirmation back to the upside.” A similar story appears on XRP/BTC, where he wants to see “a real good green day” to break the downtrend after a “bullish cross on the daily RSI.”

He extends the relative framework beyond crypto. On XRP/gold, the analyst says the weekly structure “actually bounced pretty well off the 702 Fibonacci retracement,” with a clean back-test of prior range highs and “bullish cross” momentum. Projecting from current consolidation, he cites a potential 4.236 extension that, mechanically, implies substantial outperformance: “For a 4.236 extension from where we are now it would be about a 700% outperformance from gold… so if we just say five to six hundred percent that would be bloody nice for XRP.” He is careful to note that gold could also move, which would affect the nominal translation.
Despite the urgency of the title levels, he repeatedly frames the next 24–48 hours as path-dependent. Bitcoin dominance sits at a decision point in his model; a breakdown from its “ascending wedge” would, in his view, validate the altcoin-outperformance regime he has been anticipating. “It could get very exciting very soon,” he said. “Or we could just have a few more days of chop.” Still, the directional bias is clear: “I think that I’ve said that XRP I think is leading the market. I still believe that.”
His bottom line for XRP is conditional but pointed: reclaim and hold above ~$3.40, convert that resistance into support, and the liquidity magnets at ~$4.20–$4.50 come into play quickly. Fail the near-term tests, especially into a volatile macro print, and a final dip to harvest downside liquidity remains on the table before any renewed advance.
At press time, XRP traded at $2.96.
