The symbol Although Goldman Sachs left the scene yesterday, XRP’s performance still surprises with its positivity.
The main macroeconomic stimulus measures are now converging; The first is the Senate Banking Committee’s timetable for the CLARITY Act, and the second is the approach to the appearance of the Ichimoku cloud on the weekly chart.

Only one path? CBDC. Government surveillance money. Based on permissions. Programmable control of your wallet.
The second way? open blockchain networks. XRP style settlements. Self-guarding.… pic.twitter.com/f7gmsIsLsD– X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) May 19, 2026
The data indicates that the probability of a near-term breakout is as high as 60%, compared to 40% for a clear breakout, a distribution that explains the current state of market hesitation: the relative strength index (RSI) remains at 50, with the MACD stable, and open interest declines to $430 million. This decline is accompanied by a certain “smart money” which discreetly reduces its positions, even if the whales still maintain 75% of long positions. The buy/sell ratio of 0.87 also confirms the extent of existing tensions, indicating that a price explosion is imminent.
Will XRP price manage to break the $1.40 resistance?
XRP is currently trading at around $1.38, touching the upper border of the Bollinger Band indicator, which could pave the way for a sharp directional move. The 20-day exponential moving average (20-EMA) stands at $1.41, while our price model predicts a trading range for the next 24 hours between $1.37 and $1.39.
Resistance levels appear to be built up and tested; The $1.40 level represents the immediate high, while the $1.51 level remains the most important line after the price was rejected three times. If this level is breached, the path to $1.65 will open in the medium term. On the other hand, support levels appear less intense, with $1.35 representing the first line of defense, while $1.32 is the red line that bulls are unlikely to lose.
However, if CLARITY Act advances in commission before the end of the month, it could lead to a weekly close above the $1.50 level.
Currently, the net short flow is dominating the scene, with open contracts continuing to decline as the price retests the $1.38 level, weakening the thesis of an imminent near-term breakout.
The deadline for Senate consideration of the CLARITY Act is the most important event on the XRP agenda. Institutional interest via ETFs also adds another layer of demand, but large institutions are clearly waiting for regulatory certainty before injecting liquidity en masse.
LiquidChain targets leadership while XRP struggles with support levels
XRP is known as an asset with a specific market value and clear risks, and reaching multiples of its price currently requires injecting billions of dollars into its market value. It is this ceiling that infrastructure projects in the start-up phase attempt to exceed.
LiquidChain ($LIQUID) stands out as a layer 3 infrastructure protocol that offers a different architectural approach, integrating the liquidity of the Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana networks into a single execution environment.
