XRP Stuck in Tight Range as Exchange Liquidity Falls to Multi‑Year Lows

Thin order books plus a pending Senate vote on the CLARITY Act could determine whether the token makes a sharp move higher or lower.

Overview

  • XRP is trading around $1.33–$1.36 and remains below key short‑ and medium‑term moving averages, leaving short‑term momentum neutral to bearish.
  • Chart analysts say XRP sits inside a long‑running descending broadening wedge with $1.11 identified as critical downside support and roughly $3.00 as the level that would confirm a broad bullish reversal.
  • On‑exchange depth has collapsed to the weakest readings since 2020, making the market highly sensitive to large orders and increasing the chance that a single big flow could produce an outsized move.
  • The CLARITY Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee on May 14 and now heads to the full Senate, a development market participants view as the main near‑term regulatory catalyst that could change institutional flows into XRP.
  • Traders see two clear paths: a decisive break below nearby support near $1.26–$1.33 could trigger a sharp sell‑off, while reclaiming resistance in the $2.65–$3.00 zone would open the door to multi‑dollar targets tied to growing XRPL tokenization and ETF interest.
