XRP could face a decisive technical test at $1.80 as traders assess whether its recent recovery can develop into a broader move higher. Crypto pundit and developer Bird has identified the level as the key threshold separating XRP’s current bearish range from a previous bullish trading structure.
In a post on X, Bird shared a daily XRP/USD chart and outlined two major price ranges. The first extends from approximately $1.00 to $1.80, while the second stretches from around $1.80 to above $3.60. At the time shown on the chart, XRP was trading near $1.38 after recording a strong daily move.
Bird described the $1.00-$1.80 area as the bearish range that XRP needs to escape. He acknowledged that XRP had already bounced strongly from the lower boundary but maintained that the more important technical test remained ahead.
This is how I’m looking at XRP right now.
There are two clear ranges on this chart.
The bearish range: ~$1.00–$1.80
This is the range XRP needs to escape. We’ve bounced aggressively from the bottom, but technically the real battle is still ahead.

According to Bird, $1.80 is the most important level on the chart because it previously acted as the lower boundary of a larger trading range. He sees the level as a potential support-and-resistance flip, meaning that a successful move above it and subsequent hold could change the structure of XRP’s price action.
Bird’s stated thesis centers on XRP first reaching $1.80. He then expects a sustained reclaim of that level to move XRP back into the broader bullish range identified on his chart.
The chart attached to the post highlights the distinction between the two zones. The lower range is marked in red from roughly $1.00 to $1.80, while the larger range above it is marked in green and extends toward $3.60. An upward projection on the chart indicates the potential path Bird expects if XRP successfully breaks back above $1.80.
Bird said that once XRP is accepted back inside the higher range, there would be significant room for further gains. He specifically pointed to $2, $2.50 and $3 as successive areas that could come into focus following a successful reclaim of $1.80.
He also stated that the probability of a rapid move toward the all-time-high region would increase substantially if XRP establishes itself above the critical level. His view therefore depends heavily on confirmation of $1.80.
Bird concluded that XRP had spent months trading below the $1.80 boundary and is now approaching that level again. For his technical setup to play out, XRP must first surpass $1.80 and then demonstrate that the level can hold.
The analysis does not confirm the move. Instead, Bird identifies $1.80 as the primary battle that could determine whether XRP remains within its lower trading range or returns to the broader range between approximately $1.80 and $3.60.
