A Hyperliquid whale holds large short positions against Bitcoin and several altcoins. Does the position provide any signal on the markets’ future outcomes?

XRP is showing strong signs of a major breakout as momentum continues to build across multiple timeframes. With bullish signals aligning and key structures pointing higher, the market is beginning to price in the possibility of a much larger move, one that could push XRP toward the highly anticipated $10 level if the breakout fully unfolds. RSI Breakout Signals Strength After 1-Year Trendline Crypto analyst JD has pointed to a significant shift in momentum for XRP, noting that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has officially broken out of a major 1-year trendline on the 3-day chart. While this breakout typically signals the start of a sustained bullish phase, JD also urges caution regarding a potential Hidden Bearish Divergence. This technical setup suggests a complex tug-of-war between long-term momentum recovery and short-term price exhaustion that traders must navigate.

JD explains that the lower the price dips within the wedge, the more substantial the eventual measured move will be upon a breakout. This counterintuitive logic suggests that current price weakness is merely building the necessary energy for a massive trend reversal. Looking ahead, JD expresses extreme conviction in the upside potential once the final resistance level is cleared, forecasting what he describes as a biblical move to the Green Box zone. If the breakout validates the measured move of the broadening wedge, XRP could see one of its most aggressive vertical expansions in years, rewarding those who held through the prolonged consolidation. XRP Holds Strong Breakout Against Bitcoin According to crypto analyst Javon Marks, XRP continues to hold a strong breakout against Bitcoin, signaling sustained relative strength in the current market cycle. This type of breakout, based on the current structure, XRP is expected to significantly outperform, with projections pointing toward a potential move exceeding 550%.

During that phase, the price surged from around $0.50 to above $3.30, demonstrating how quickly momentum can accelerate once relative strength takes hold. That historical move serves as a key reference point for what could unfold if the current setup continues to develop. With a similar structure now in place, the outlook suggests that XRP may be gearing up for another major expansion phase. If momentum continues to build and the breakout sustains, price could push toward the $10 region, or potentially even higher, marking a significant shift in XRP’s broader market position and reinforcing its bullish trajectory.
