XRP faces major volatility amid tightest Bollinger Band squeeze in a yearXRP has entered its tightest Bollinger Band squeeze in over a year, signaling the potential for a major price move. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that the Bollinger Bands on the XRP/USD 3-day chart have become extremely narrow, indicating that strong volatility is expected. He described the range between $1.29 and $1.50 as a "no-trade zone" where the direction has not yet been confirmed, suggesting a strategy of waiting for the market to make the first move. Martinez explained that a 3-day close above $1.50 could open the door to a rise toward $1.80. Conversely, a break below $1.29 would invalidate the short-term bullish trend and could lead to a further decline to the $1 support level.
