XRP Charts Signal Possible 25% Relief Rally in July
A death cross and liquidation signals are aligning to hint at a short-term XRP bounce, with one analyst eyeing a longer-term $8 target.
If you've been watching XRP limp through the summer, here's something that might perk you up: a couple of technical signals are quietly lining up to suggest the token could stage a meaningful comeback in July. We're talking a potential 25% relief rally in the short term — not guaranteed, but worth paying attention to.
The first signal that analysts are flagging is something called a "death cross," which sounds scarier than it sometimes is. A death cross happens when a short-term moving average dips below a long-term moving average on a price chart — historically a bearish sign, but one that often precedes a snapback rally once sellers exhaust themselves. In other words, when everyone who wants to sell has already sold, buyers can step back in and push prices higher pretty quickly.

Layered on top of that, liquidation signals are also flashing. In crypto markets, liquidations happen when leveraged traders get forced out of their positions because the market moved against them. A cluster of liquidations can act like a pressure valve — once that forced selling clears out, the asset tends to bounce. Together, the death cross and liquidation data are painting a picture of a market that may be closer to a bottom than a continued freefall.
For the longer-term optimists, at least one analyst quoted by Cointelegraph has an eye on an even bigger target: $8 per XRP. That would represent a substantial move from current levels and would require sustained buying momentum well beyond any short-term relief bounce. Whether that plays out depends on broader crypto market conditions, regulatory clarity around XRP, and overall investor appetite for risk assets.
As always, relief rallies can reverse fast, and no chart pattern is a sure thing in crypto. If you're considering any moves based on these signals, make sure your position sizing matches your actual risk tolerance — not your best-case-scenario optimism. Continue reading at Cointelegraph.
