Date: Mon, May 05, 2025 | 05:12 AM GMTAfter a brutal Q1 where Ethereum (ETH) alone crashed 45%, the crypto market is finally showing signs of a comeback. ETH has bounced 30% from its April 7 low — and it’s not the only one. XRP has also surged nearly 45% since its April dip, recovering from a low of $1.67 to a recent high of $2.36.But after that sharp rally, XRP is starting to show signs of weakness, dropping about 5% over the past week. The question now: Is this just a healthy pullback before continuation, or is a deeper correction coming? A look at the 4-hour chart suggests that a classic bearish pattern could be forming.Source: CoinmarketcapHead and Shoulders in Play?XRP’s rally from the April 7 low of $1.67 topped out on April 28 at $2.36, capping off an impressive 45% run. Since then, price action has cooled off, with XRP now trading around $2.16, right above a key support zone.As shown in the chart, a potential Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern is emerging. The left shoulder formed around April 25, the head on April 28, and the right shoulder appears to be developing now. The neckline — a critical level between $2.11 and $2.14 — is currently being tested.XRP 4H Chart/Coinsprobe (Source: Tradingview)So far, bulls have successfully defended the neckline, with XRP bouncing slightly above it. However, the pattern remains active, and this week’s price action will likely determine the next major move.What to Watch This WeekFrom here, two key scenarios emerge:Bullish Outcome (Invalidates H&S)If XRP holds the $2.11–$2.14 neckline and bounces, the next upside target is the April 28 high at $2.36. A strong breakout above that would invalidate the bearish setup and potentially open the door toward $2.50 and beyond.Bearish Breakdown (Confirms H&S)A decisive close below $2.11 would confirm the Head and Shoulders pattern, possibly triggering a minor correction toward the next support zone near $2.04.The chart shows both possibilities clearly, with arrows marking potential breakout and breakdown paths. Bulls need to step in quickly to prevent momentum from shifting back in the bears’ favor.Final ThoughtsWhile XRP’s broader trend remains constructive, this week could be pivotal. The neckline support zone between $2.11 and $2.14 is the line in the sand. Bulls holding this level could re-ignite the uptrend, but failure to do so might trigger a deeper correction.With market sentiment still fragile after Q1’s crash, traders should stay alert and watch this zone closely as the week unfolds.Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and not financial advice.
