XRP News Today: XRP Eyes $5 Breakout as Liquidation Heatmap Reveals Thin Resistance Zone

Recent analysis on XRP has highlighted a unique liquidity profile, suggesting the cryptocurrency could experience a rapid price increase if it manages to break through the $5 level. Steph Is Crypto, a well-respected analyst on X, pointed out that the current price structure and liquidity positioning indicate an unobstructed path for upward movement above $5 [1]. The analysis, based on a Coinglass liquidation heatmap, showed that liquidity beyond $5 is significantly thinner compared to the $2 to $4 range, where leveraged positions are more common [1].

The heatmap reveals that most of May and June were spent by XRP consolidating around $2. A breakout in mid-July pushed the token above $3, supported by a noticeable density of liquidations, indicating aggressive unwinding of short positions during the rally. This momentum led to a peak of $3.65 [1]. However, beyond $4, the heatmap showed a sharp drop in liquidation resistance, reinforcing the idea that structural barriers are minimal in that range. As the resistance disappears above $5, the asset appears to have a smoother trajectory once it breaks through that key level [1].

The technical outlook remains favorable for continued gains, provided volume expands and buying pressure remains consistent. Although recent volume and buying pressure have shown mixed signals, XRP has maintained levels above its breakout structure, currently in a consolidation phase just below critical psychological thresholds with $3 serving as a short-term pivot point [1].

Steph’s assertion that XRP has “no walls, no pause” reflects a broader optimism among market participants. They view the recent rally not as a sign of overextension but as a possible catalyst for a larger upward move. The data supports this optimism, showing that relatively few traders have positioned themselves for a price increase above $5—an unusual scenario in a typically crowded and reactive market [1].

While the absence of sell-side pressure does not guarantee an immediate price surge, it does suggest that should momentum return, the road to higher valuations may involve fewer hurdles. Analysts are watching closely for signs of renewed buying pressure and volume confirmation that could signal the next phase in XRP’s price journey [1].
