 <p class="paragraph">XRP is often haunted by whale movements, such as the recent 440 million XRP whale and Ripple’s monthly <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="sell-" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/sell.html">sell-</a>offs. Moreover, court developments on the SEC vs. Ripple case directly impact the token and investors’ confidence.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In the meantime, the cryptocurrency trading expert Ali Martinez warned of a possible <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="sell-" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/sell.html">sell-</a>off scenario brewing for XRP. Martinez posted a technical <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Category Analysis" href="https://thebittimes.com/analysis.html">Analysis</a> on X (formerly Twitter) on January 18, showing a multi-year trend threatened to break down.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the parallel channel spotted by Ali Martinez dates from 2022, and XRP has so far respected its range. XRP traded as high as $0.92 in July 2023. Meanwhile, reaching its lowest price within the channel between December 2022 and January 2023, at around $0,33.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">As of writing, XRP battles at $0.55, which tests the trend support line. Breaking out of this range would put the token at great peril of re-visiting the multi-year lows.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, traders must be aware of possible fake breakouts, which could induce opening short positions just to liquidate them right after in a short squeeze. Despite that, this is a relevant moment for Ripple’s token, which could turn bearish after over a year of a bull run.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Therefore, XRP holders would like to see a quick bounce from these prices in the next few days. Essentially, consolidating at the range’s lows would favor a future bearish breakout as a show of weakness.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In the case of a bounce upwards, XRP will need to test the resistance at the range’s medium before continuing a bull rally to the one-dollar mark.</p>
