XRP weekly chart it is attracting more scrutiny as the price consolidates within a historically critical range. Instead of signaling an end, a prominent XRP enthusiast suggests that this phase could lay the foundation for a major structural pivot. Understanding this setup is key to seeing how historical stages of integration explain the XRP expansion framework.
Historical Integration Sections Define XRP’s Expansion Framework
In a recent analysis posted on X (formerly Twitter), XRP market analyst @Austin_XRPL highlighted historical price behavior of a commodity as evidence of an ongoing structural process. According to the chart he posted, each major appreciation cycle was consistent preceded by a long-term consolidationwhere the price carefully builds acceptance before development.

He points to the $0.15–$0.30 range as the first modern base, where XRP spent nearly two years. building basic support before moving up. Similar behavior occurred between $0.30–$0.50, another two-year launching platform was established that allowed accumulation to take place successfully. As the price rose, consolidation periods became shorter but remained critical: $0.50–$0.75 saw about 18 months of structured consolidation, followed by about a year of support between $0.75–$1.30. Even the large upper region of $1.80–$3.40, which is often interpreted through a spread lens, has been recorded for more than a year. continuous trading and accumulation.
Austin’s framework emphasizes that expansion follows structural expansion and direct collection. If XRP is now forming a “final base” at current levels, the meaning is clear: sufficient consolidation may lay the necessary foundation for the next important and potentially long-term phase.
Building a Final Base: $1.30–$1.80 in Focus
Austin points to the $1.30 to $1.80 range as one major area on XRP’s main chart that hasn’t formed a proper base. His chart shows the price moved into this tunnel quickly during the previous rallies, leaving little consolidation.

He classifies the area as an underperforming range, where prices rise outwards establishing strong support. Structurally, markets tend to revisit such areas to stabilize purchases and build balance where trading activity was low. Recent weekly price action shows XRP working within this tunnel instead of rejecting it. Austin interprets this as a structural adjustment, describing the behavior as filling a gap – the price moves within a range to find acceptance.
If this process continues, you consider it the basis of formation. Turning this underdeveloped tunnel into support will close what he sees as the last structural gap on the main chart, leaving all lows established histories of integration. The mentioned reduced resistance above. Because XRP has spent limited time consolidating beyond this band in previous cycles, the maximum supply may be limited once the expansion begins.
Within this framework, completing the foundation here represents a late-stage fix. With inefficiencies resolved and support established, XRP will be structurally positioned for change from integration to expansionwith any breakout showing a finished market structure rather than an emotion-driven impulse.
