XRP has returned to the center of market attention as price action accelerates after a period of compression. Traders who watched the asset consolidate for weeks now see volatility expanding and momentum strengthening. When markets transition from tight ranges to aggressive directional moves, they often enter defining phases.

Crypto analyst XRP Captain underscored this shift in a recent post on X, arguing that a real breakout could happen soon if current momentum continues. His assessment follows a powerful daily move that pushed XRP back toward critical resistance zones and reignited bullish sentiment.

Breakout Structure Takes Shape

On February 25, 2026, XRP surged approximately 8.9% intraday on the Bitstamp XRP/USD chart, climbing toward $1.47. Price broke above a key horizontal resistance near $1.37, a level that had previously capped upside attempts. Once buyers cleared that barrier, momentum accelerated quickly.

The move from roughly $1.35 to $1.44 represented a rapid 6% expansion driven by strong spot demand. Market data indicates that institutional accumulation contributed to the rally, as larger orders absorbed available liquidity above resistance. When institutions step in during breakout attempts, they often provide the fuel needed for sustained continuation.

A confirmed hold above $1.37 would strengthen the structural shift, as former resistance would likely convert into support.

Technical Indicators Support Momentum

Technical patterns further reinforce the bullish case. XRP recently formed a Bollinger Band squeeze on the daily timeframe, signaling a prolonged period of declining volatility. Volatility compressions frequently precede explosive expansions once price escapes the range.

At the same time, price action broke out of a falling wedge formation, a pattern that technical analysts widely interpret as bullish when accompanied by rising volume. Falling wedges typically reflect diminishing selling pressure before buyers regain control.

These converging signals suggest that momentum now favors continuation rather than immediate reversal. Short-term projections place the $1.50 region as the next psychological and structural target if buying pressure persists.

The Importance of Follow-Through

XRP Captain stresses that continuation depends on sustained momentum. Breakouts succeed when buyers defend newly reclaimed levels and push price into higher highs. If XRP maintains strength above $1.37 and builds acceptance above $1.45, the probability of a broader expansion increases significantly.

However, markets often retest breakout zones before advancing further. A controlled pullback that holds above former resistance would preserve the bullish structure.

For now, XRP trades at a pivotal moment. Momentum has arrived, volatility has expanded, and buyers have shown conviction. If that pressure continues, the long-anticipated breakout could soon become reality.
