Headline: Analyst: XRP’s “path of least resistance” could reach $4 as higher-timeframe liquidity stacks above current price
Crypto analyst Bird says XRP’s larger-timeframe liquidity profile points to a potential move toward the $4 zone after hourly liquidity around the current price was largely cleared, according to liquidity heatmaps shared by @Cryptoinsightuk.
Where XRP sits now
- XRP is trading near $1.45 and remains below significant liquidity clusters visible on higher timeframes.
- Hourly heatmaps show much of the nearby liquidity below the current price—particularly in the $1.30–$1.50 range—has already been swept. Bird interprets this as short-term stop hunts and liquidation pools having been cleared, leaving little immediate incentive for the price to remain at lower timeframes.
Higher-timeframe liquidity points up
- Daily heatmaps show dense, layered liquidity above the current level, with large clusters between roughly $2.50 and $4.00 and concentrations that extend past $4.
- In liquidity-based trading theory, price tends to move toward untouched pools of resting orders and stop clusters. Bird argues that with hourly liquidity depleted, XRP’s next logical magnet is those higher-timeframe order blocks stacked above $4.
Macro context supporting altcoin flows
- Bird also flagged a five-month breakdown in Bitcoin dominance: it’s at about 57.9% now, down from 58.2% last week. A falling BTC dominance typically indicates capital rotating into altcoins.
- Combined with relatively neutral-to-cautious sentiment toward XRP (better than some majors, per the analyst), the rotation could help funnel capital into XRP and fuel moves toward those higher-timeframe liquidity targets.
Bottom line
Bird’s read: short-term liquidity has largely been consumed, while thicker resting orders sit well above today’s price—creating a theoretical path of least resistance toward the $4 area if market flows and capital rotation into alts continue. As always, liquidity dynamics are only one lens on price action and aren’t a guarantee of future moves.
