XRP Price Stuck in Tight Range Ahead of Potential Sharp Move

XRP's price has been consolidating in a tight range between $0.99 and $1.01 since mid-August, a stark contrast to the steady downtrend that defined the chart since May.

The current consolidation range is bounded by a descending trendline running from May's high, which currently tracks just above current price and has rejected every recovery attempt along the way.

A four-year volatility low, an accumulation score of 85, and open interest building against thinning spot liquidity are three separate signals converging on the same conclusion: whichever way $1 breaks, the resulting move is likely to be sharper than the current sideways drift suggests.
