Just saw XRP testing the $1.42 area again, and what's interesting is the pattern forming on the daily chart. According to observations from Ali Martinez—an analyst I often follow—its Bollinger Bands are squeezing, which means volatility is at a very low level. Usually, this indicates that a big move is about to happen, just waiting for the direction.
Currently, XRP is around $1.42, and from a technical perspective, this is an important level. If it can break out decisively above this, it could open the way toward $1.67 according to Ali Martinez's analysis. But if the support at $1.35 breaks, then the lower target is $1.30-$1.32. The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement also coincides in this area, so this is really a level to watch.
Macro-wise, there is still uncertainty, but from a technical standpoint, XRP is at a turning point. Bollinger Band squeezes usually don't last long, so volatility is likely to spike soon. Ali Martinez also highlights this, and it seems worth watching for swing traders. The levels of $1.42 and $1.35 will be key in determining the next move.
