XRP is approaching a major technical decision point as a TradingView analyst argues that the token is retesting a long-term support structure that has shaped several previous cycle lows.

TL;DR TradingView analyst weslad says XRP is retesting a multi-year ascending support structure.

The broader bullish case depends on buyers defending the current demand area.

The analyst says a successful hold could open a path back toward previous highs and possibly $4.50-$5.00.

A later update warned that bears still control the descending structure below the $1.50 supply zone.

The TradingView analysis says XRP has continued to respect a long-term ascending trendline, a structure the analyst says has supported major cycle lows since 2020.

After rejection near the upper boundary of a multi-year range, XRP has moved into a corrective phase and is now approaching a key demand area.

XRP Bulls Need To Defend The Trendline The bullish version of the setup is simple: if XRP can hold the dynamic support and demand confluence, the current move may be treated as a healthy retracement rather than a deeper breakdown.

In that case, the analyst says a strong reaction could set up another expansion phase, with previous highs becoming the next major upside reference.

The more ambitious part of the analysis points toward the $4.50-$5.00 region if the broader structure holds.

That is not a near-term guarantee.

It is a higher-timeframe target that depends first on buyers proving that the current support zone is still valid.

But The Update Adds A Bearish Warning The same TradingView page also includes an update that makes the setup more nuanced.

The analyst says XRP is still respecting a descending trend structure, with bears maintaining control below the $1.50 supply zone.

That means XRP may need more than one bounce to shift market structure back in favor of bulls.

The update also notes that a sweep into the $0.70-$0.80 demand zone would not be surprising.

That gives traders two different levels to watch: the current multi-year trendline support, and a deeper demand area that could become relevant if the first level fails.

Current XRP Price Context XRP was trading around $1.15 at the time of writing, with current market data showing an intraday range between roughly $1.12 and $1.16.

That keeps the token below the $1.50 supply area highlighted by the analyst and leaves the market in a wait-and-see position.

The key point is that XRP is not in a confirmed breakout.

It is in a test.

If buyers defend support, the bullish long-term structure stays alive.

If the level breaks, the lower demand zone may become the next area where traders look for a stronger reaction.
