# Analyst Warns: XRP's Future Uncertain Is XRP's recent rally deceptive? Analyst warns. - **Source:** [CryptoPotato](https://brifing.si/source/bd22636b-ec8d-42a8-8cca-1937c50e0f6c) - **Published:** 2026-07-21 - **Topic:** [Finance](https://brifing.si/c/finance) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/4508fefa-3ad6-477f-9d50-c1a72969959b ## XRP's Recent Rally ChartNerd suggests that XRP's recent rally might be misleading. The analyst argues that the token is still in a long-term downtrend and that a small recovery hasn't changed the market structure. ## Technical Indicators The analyst points out that the 20-week and 50-week EMA death cross formed in January 2026 indicates bearish control. The May recovery stalling at the 20-week EMA confirms this level as resistance. ## Resistance Levels ChartNerd states that even if XRP rallies to $1.29 or $1.60, these levels should be seen as strong resistance. If the price moves above these levels, it could mark a local bottom. ## Social Media Comments The analyst counters claims on social media that XRP has broken out of its downtrend. He notes that the token is still within its wedge pattern and below descending resistance. ## Mixed Signals XRP is trading at $1.13, up 4% in the last 24 hours. However, it is still 2% lower than a month ago. CoinGecko data shows the price hasn't decisively broken in either direction. ## Future Predictions ChartNerd emphasizes that any rally should be cautiously monitored until XRP breaks above resistance levels that have contained the market for months. Some predict the token could reach a $1 trillion market cap. ## Sources covering this story - https://cryptopotato.com/relief-rally-or-bull-trap-why-this-analyst-says-xrp-is-heading-below-1/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
