However, they <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/web\/status\/2033376202631647328\">added<\/a> that if it breaks above the crucial $1.43 resistance, the asset could be primed for a more sustainable rebound, as it did shortly after their post.<\/p>\n<p>The aforementioned jump drove XRP to almost $1.50, which is the highest price tag in over two weeks. Fellow analyst CW outlined a chart showing that this level is actually a major sell wall. If broken, XRP\u2019s path should be quite clear until the next such significant obstacle, all the way at $1.95.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a> has reached the sell wall zone.<\/p>\n<p>If it breaks through this sell wall, there is no other resistance until $1.95. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z4olAq6ot3\">pic.twitter.com\/Z4olAq6ot3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CW (@CW8900) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CW8900\/status\/2033430336504496583?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Cobb, who is among the most vocal and bullish members of the XRP Army, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Cobb_XRPL\/status\/2033396359198314907\">said<\/a> they \u201csimply refuse to trust this XRP pump.\u201d Perhaps this is because the asset has charted similar impressive gains several times for a few days, only to be rejected and pushed back to its rather tight trading range.<\/p>\n<p>However, the landscape could be different now as the Bollinger Bands had <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/watch-out-heres-why-ripple-xrp-could-be-on-the-verge-of-a-huge-move\/\">squeezed<\/a> to a level suggesting a big move ahead.<\/p>\n<h2>No Shorts on XRP?<\/h2>\n<p>Another interesting post from CW showed that \u201cthere are almost no short positions on XRP.\u201d This has particular significance given the fact that the asset\u2019s futures open interest had <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/web\/status\/2033286866238079295\">surged<\/a> by 16.5% in the past week, going to over $1.6 billion, according to data from Ali Martinez.<\/p>\n<p>Meaning, traders are ramping up their leveraged XRP positions but evidently expect a major move upward.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">There are almost no short positions on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rlfi7ht1XX\">pic.twitter.com\/rlfi7ht1XX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CW (@CW8900) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CW8900\/status\/2033434521874706490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-price-surges-5-but-analyst-refuses-to-trust-this-xrp-pump\/\">Ripple Price Surges 5% But Analyst Refuses to Trust This XRP Pump<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the entire cryptocurrency market rebounding in the past 12 hours or so, Ripple\u2019s cross-border token has joined the trend, jumping 5% to almost $1.50.
