XRP Breakout Ahead? These Two Major Signals Back Imminent Price Rally
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) has turned his attention to XRP, citing two technical signals that suggest the asset may be approaching a significant move. His analysis combines a monthly chart reading with a close look at short-term price structure, and the picture he presents is one of building tension.
Two Timeframes With One Conclusion
Martinez recently reported that XRP’s monthly chart flashed a TD Sequential buy signal. The TD Sequential is a technical indicator traders use to identify potential exhaustion in a price trend and anticipate reversals.
A buy signal on the monthly timeframe is notable, as monthly candles reflect longer price action and tend to produce more durable signals than shorter timeframes. At the same time, the 1-hour chart shows a tighter, more immediate development.
XRP: BREAKOUT AHEAD!?
The monthly chart is flashing a TD Sequential buy signal, while the hourly chart shows $XRP consolidating inside a symmetrical triangle.
A breakout above $1.13 could open the door to a 20% rally toward $1.35.

The Triangle Taking Shape
The hourly chart shows XRP consolidating inside a symmetrical triangle. The pattern spans from late June through mid-July. The upper trendline descends from just under $1.30, while the lower trendline rises from $1.03. XRP currently sits near $1.106, pressing toward the apex of the formation.
Symmetrical triangles form when price makes lower highs and higher lows simultaneously, compressing into a narrowing range. They are considered neutral patterns, meaning the direction of the eventual breakout determines the bias. Martinez identifies $1.13 as the key level to watch on the upside.
The $1.13 Level
A move above $1.13 would constitute a breakout above the triangle’s descending upper trendline. Martinez states that such a breakout could open the door to a 20% rally toward $1.35. This move would help XRP reclaim $1.30, a level it has been unable to reach since its decline in early June.
Price Action to Watch
XRP has spent several weeks oscillating within the triangle’s boundaries. Each successive swing has produced a smaller range than the one before it. The price currently trades just below the $1.13 resistance level, with the triangle approaching its final stages before a resolution becomes likely.
The combination of a monthly TD Sequential buy signal and an hourly triangle nearing its apex gives Martinez’s analysis a dual-timeframe foundation. Traders watching XRP will focus on whether XRP can clear $1.13 and hold it. A confirmed breakout above that level sets up the path Martinez outlines toward $1.35.
