XRP at the Crossroads: Rejection at 2.10 Signals a Likely Slide Back to 2.04

Market snapshot (XRP)

Current price: 2.0716
Context: Price is well below the late-Oct highs (~2.65–2.69) and has been in a multi-month downtrend since that peak.
Recent regime change: Strong rally from late Dec/early Jan (~1.83–1.90) to 2.35 on Jan-05, followed by a sharp pullback to ~2.12 and range/coil behavior around 2.03–2.10.

1) Multi-timeframe trend structure

Daily trend (structural)

Lower highs / lower lows from late Oct to late Dec confirms a primary bearish structure.
Early Jan produced a counter-trend rally (2.35 spike) but failed to hold; price fell back into the prior value area.
The last ~7 daily closes (Jan-06 to Jan-12) transitioned into sideways-to-down: 2.3069 → 2.1671 → 2.1221 → 2.0916 → 2.0880 → 2.0711 → 2.0716.
- This sequence is a descending drift, suggesting distribution after the Jan-05 impulse.

Hourly trend (tactical)

Intraday: early session push to ~2.10 (02:00) then a steady selloff into 2.034 (10:00), followed by a rebound to 2.089–2.105 (15:00–16:00).
Importantly, at 17:00 there was a sharp rejection down to ~2.060 and a weak bounce back to ~2.071.
- That reads as supply overhead in the 2.09–2.105 zone.

Implication: Daily structure remains weak; hourly shows repeated failures above ~2.09–2.10, favoring downside mean reversion toward supports.

2) Support/Resistance mapping (price-action + pivots)

Key resistance (supply)

2.089–2.105: intraday rebound high zone; rejection candle suggests active sellers.
2.12–2.15: prior daily support (Jan-08/09) now likely resistance.
2.21–2.23: former pivot area (early Dec / mid Nov) if a squeeze occurs.

Key support (demand)

2.060–2.065: immediate intraday bounce level.
2.034–2.045: today’s intraday low area and repeated prints; very important near-term floor.
2.00–2.01: psychological + prior daily swing area.

Implication: Current price (2.0716) is sitting between supply at ~2.09–2.10 and demand at ~2.03–2.05; given the rejection, the path of least resistance is down unless 2.10 is reclaimed.

3) Volatility & range analysis (practical ATR read)

Recent daily candles show wide ranges during impulse days (Jan-05/06) followed by contracting ranges (Jan-09 to Jan-12).
Hourly ranges also compressed after the 17:00 dump, indicating post-rejection consolidation.

Implication: Compression after a rejection near resistance often resolves by continuation in the direction of the rejection (down), targeting the lower boundary of the developing range.

4) Momentum / oscillator logic (inference from swing behavior)

Even without exact RSI/MACD calculations, the sequence implies:

The bounce from ~2.034 to ~2.105 failed to make a lasting higher high and was sold aggressively.
That behavior typically corresponds to bearish momentum divergence (price attempts to recover, momentum fails, sellers step in).

Implication: Upside attempts are being sold; momentum favors another test of support.

5) Volume / participation clues

Daily volume on Jan-12 is high versus many recent days (multi-billion), suggesting active two-way trade.
The hourly dump at 17:00 occurred on meaningful volume, which often signals institutional/sizable distribution rather than random noise.

Implication: Sellers showed conviction on the rejection; rallies into the 2.09–2.10 area are likely to attract supply.

6) Pattern recognition

Daily: post-impulse bear flag / descending consolidation after Jan-05 spike.
Hourly: rounded rebound into resistance followed by sharp drop → classic bull-trap / failed retest characteristics.

Measured move logic (conservative):

If the local range is roughly 2.105 high to 2.034 low (~0.071), a breakdown/rotation can target 2.03–2.00, and if 2.00 breaks, extension toward ~1.95 becomes plausible (but that’s more than a 24h base case).

24-hour forecast (next 24h)

Base case (higher probability): bearish drift / range rotation down

Expect price to retest 2.060, then 2.045–2.034.
If 2.034 breaks with momentum, price likely tags 2.01–2.00 within 24h.

Alternative case (invalidates short bias):

A sustained reclaim and acceptance above 2.105, followed by holding 2.09 as support, would open upside toward 2.12–2.15.

Given current positioning (below supply, recent rejection, declining daily closes), the probabilistic edge favors Sell (short).

Trade plan (tactical)

Direction

Sell (Short Position)

Optimal open (entry)

Prefer to short on a pullback into resistance to improve R:R.
Open Price (sell): 2.0900 (within the 2.089–2.105 supply band, near the prior rebound top).

Take-profit / close

First meaningful demand is the 2.045–2.034 shelf.
Close Price (take profit): 2.0400 (front-run the 2.034 low to improve fill probability).

(Risk note for execution discipline: if you use a stop, a logical invalidation is above ~2.110–2.120 where the rejection thesis fails.)
