First is the $1.90 floor, which serves as the approximate neckline for the H&amp;S pattern and has repeatedly acted as support. Second is the $2.90\u2013$2.99 ceiling, a clear horizontal resistance band where XRP has struggled to sustain upward momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Brandt states that a decisive break below $1.90 \u201cwould not be ideal for longs,\u201d while any upside breach above $3.00 could force short sellers to reconsider their positions. On the chart, the left shoulder formed near the $2.90 handle, followed by a higher peak at $3.40, creating the \u201chead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the right shoulder emerged closer to the $3.00 zone. The neckline sits around $1.90. If XRP breaks below that neckline with sufficient volume, Brandt\u2019s measured\u2010move target suggests a decline to approximately $1.07. He labels this price objective with a red arrow, signaling the potential downside risk inherent in classical H&amp;S patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Brandt\u2019s 8\u2010day and 18\u2010day moving averages converge around $2.44, indicating muted momentum at current levels. The 30\u2010day Average True Range (ATR) measures near $0.205, implying that daily price swings have compressed compared to the explosive action seen during XRP\u2019s ascent from late 2024 through early 2025. Still, a break beyond $3.00 or below $1.90 could spark a renewed surge in volatility.<\/p>\n<p>Brandt emphasizes his lack of a personal stake in XRP, explaining that he is merely relaying what he views as a \u201ctextbook\u201d bearish pattern: \u201cI have no vested interest up or down. XRP is forming a textbook H&amp;S pattern. So, we are now range bound. Above $3.000 I would not want to be short. Be\u201dlow $1.9 I would not want to own it. H&amp;S projects to $1.07. Don&#8217;t shoot the messenger.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, XRP traded at $2.35.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-719164 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRPUSDT_2025-03-27_08-42-25.png?resize=3628%2C1605\" alt=\"XRP price\" width=\"3628\" height=\"1605\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an update posted via X, veteran market analyst Peter Brandt shared a striking technical outlook for XRP\/USDT, identifying a classic Head &amp; Shoulders (H&amp;S) formation in the daily chart that points to a possible retracement toward the $1.07 region.
