VWAPs Don’t Lie—XRP Faces Judgment Day At Monthly Support

XRP is drifting again to the decrease boundary of a five-month buying and selling vary, but the higher-time-frame construction stays intact, based on a day by day chart revealed on Might 7 by analyst Dom (@traderview2). The chart covers late-December 2024 by way of the primary week of Might 2025 and reveals XRP after breaking above a descending development line that originates on the January 16 excessive close to $3.40.

XRP Is ‘Holding Sturdy’

Dom’s evaluation hinges on a trio of anchored Quantity-Weighted Common Costs, or VWAPs, that are plotted as adaptive bands on the chart. VWAP represents the common worth of an asset over a specified interval, weighted by buying and selling quantity; in essence it tells merchants the extent at which the majority of transactions have occurred.

As a result of massive institutional desks typically benchmark execution high quality in opposition to VWAP, the road tends to behave as dynamic help or resistance when worth retests it. When the anchor level is shifted—from the beginning of the month, quarter or 12 months, for instance—every VWAP gives a lens on how supply-and-demand has developed over that discrete window.

The cyan line marks the quarterly anchored VWAP, at present located at $2.2796, a degree that rejected worth final week and precipitated the continued pullback. The orange line denotes the month-to-month VWAP, now at $2.0574, and worth is hovering simply above it; Dom sketches a curved route suggesting {that a} constructive bounce right here might propel XRP again towards the mid-$2.20s.

Under, a inexperienced ribbon captures the yearly anchored VWAP at $1.8731, flanked by its standard-deviation envelopes at $1.7863 and $1.6996. The April 7 capitulation wick bottomed exactly into that yearly imply earlier than snapping larger, underscoring its significance as a structural foothold.

“The VWAPs proceed to play good, native low was yearly VWAP, rejection final week was off quarterly VWAP and now we’re heading to retest the month-to-month VWAP,” Dom states.

The Key Assist Zone

Horizontal motion is equally telling. Since early December the market has ranged between roughly $1.94 and $2.05, a zone highlighted on the chart by a gray rectangle and 6 inexperienced arrows flagging prior deflections. Dom characterises the current retreat as a “wholesome retest” of that ground; solely a decisive day by day shut beneath the band would tilt the bias decisively bearish.

Till then, XRP is, in his phrases, “already robust” relative to different large-capitalisation altcoins which have damaged comparable ranges, though it’s briefly exhibiting weak spot versus a surging Bitcoin dominance index. “XRP continues to be holding its vary from Dec (no different massive cap is wherever close to that) so it’s already been robust whereas others simply bled. BTC.D is on a terror run and BTC is simply dominating the flows,” Dom writes by way of X.

Technicians will give attention to two intersecting signposts over the approaching periods: whether or not bulls can defend the $2.00 deal with and whether or not the month-to-month VWAP can once more flip from resistance to short-term help. A failure at any of these checkpoints opens the door for a deeper voyage towards the yearly VWAP round $1.87, whereas a profitable protection would reinforce the narrative that the bigger consolidation stays merely a pause inside a still-valid structural up-trend.

“I’m anticipating a response off this vary low, shedding that will be the place issues flip bearish/murky, however for now, it’s a wholesome chart,” Dom concludes.

At press time, XRP traded at $2.20.
