XRP leverage reset as accumulation signals emerged, and the altcoin’s chart technicals predict a rebound to $4.80 by Q4.
Key takeaways:
XRP has slipped nearly 20% in 45 days, consolidating within a descending triangle near the $2.70 support.
Onchain and futures data show leverage reset and early signs of accumulation, reducing liquidation risks.
The confluence of a fair value gap, Fibonacci retracement lines and fractal pattern points to a potential 60% to 85% rebound into Q4.
XRP (XRP) price fell by nearly 20% over the past 45 days, continuing a correction that has pushed the price back toward a key support. On the daily chart, XRP is consolidating within a descending triangle pattern, raising the risk of another move below support at $2.70.
XRP futures data underscores the cooling market. The open interest has dropped from $11 billion to $7.5 billion during the same period, reflecting reduced speculative exposure.
However, one positive development is that the token’s estimated leverage ratio on Binance has reset to its yearly average. The ratio of open interest relative to exchange reserves signals that traders are no longer overextended on high leverage. This reduces the likelihood of cascading liquidations and supports price stability during corrections.
Onchain indicators also point to early signs of reversal. Net taker volume has moved closer to neutral, supported by an uptick in aggregated spot cumulative volume delta (CVD), which tracks whether buyers or sellers dominate. The shift suggests holders may already be in accumulation mode.
Futures positioning adds to the picture. Aggregated futures CVD has steadily declined, while funding rates have normalized to quarterly levels, indicating that crowded positions have been cleared.

XRP price bottom could be near
On the daily chart, XRP continues to trade within a descending triangle, with price repeatedly testing support near $2.70. A daily/weekly fair value gap between $2.35 and $2.65 emerges as the key zone to watch. A push below $2.70 could drive XRP into this range, where a reaction is likely.
The significance of this gap is reinforced by Fibonacci retracement levels, with the 0.5 to 0.618 range aligning closely with the $2.35 to $2.65 zone. Historically, such a confluence has strengthened the probability of price stabilization and a rebound.
Adding weight to this outlook, Cointelegraph noted that XRP’s market structure resembles a Q1 fractal pattern, which preceded a sharp breakout. If the pattern plays out again, XRP could see gains of 60% to 85% in Q4.
Crypto trader Javon Marks highlights a similar bullish bias, noting that “at the current state of the market, not much has changed with $XRP’s target at $4.80 as its prices continue to hold above a key $2.47 level.”
Marks added that “as long as this level holds, prices may only be prepping for another +66% upside.”
