Analyst to XRP Traders: You Can’t Say I didn’t Warn You. Here’s why

Market tension has been building quietly beneath the surface of recent price action. Volatility has compressed, support zones have narrowed, and correlations with Bitcoin have tightened.

Tara (@PrecisionTrade3), a well-known analyst on X, has issued a direct warning as XRP approaches the support level.

Her message tied XRP’s immediate outlook to Bitcoin’s unfinished downside move. She issued the warning as XRP hovered near $1.88, a level she identified as critical.

Can't say I didn't warn you! #XRP #Ripple

Bitcoin did NOT reach support yet which is targeting exactly $83.6k. Hoping XRP is going to hold this level exactly at $1.88. This is going to get SUPER volatile! Be careful. #Bitcoin #BTC

Bitcoin’s Unfinished Move

Tara pointed to Bitcoin first. “Bitcoin did NOT reach support yet, which is targeting exactly $83.6k,” she said. That statement is important because XRP has remained sensitive to Bitcoin’s direction during recent drawdowns. As long as Bitcoin trades above that target, downside risk remains unresolved across the market.

She then narrowed her focus to XRP. “Hoping XRP is going to hold this level exactly at $1.88,” she wrote. $1.88 is a line that must hold, not a zone with room for error. She closed with a clear warning. “This is going to get SUPER volatile! Be careful.”

Chart Structure Highlights Important Support

The attached 4-hour chart shows XRP trending lower from the $2.18 region after repeated rejections near the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement. Tara predicted a breakdown for the asset, and it has formed lower highs since early December. Moving averages have rolled over, confirming bearish momentum.

Its price now sits near a dense cluster of Fibonacci levels between $1.88 and $1.91. The 0.618 and 0.786 retracements converge in this area. This explains why $1.88 carries added weight. Tara recently predicted that a clean bounce from this level could turn XRP bullish very quickly.

However, a decisive breakdown would expose lower liquidity zones. Below $1.88, the chart shows limited structural support until the $1.83 to $1.85 region. That area aligns with deeper Fibonacci extensions and prior reaction lows. If selling accelerates, XRP could reach those levels without prolonged consolidation.

What Comes Next for XRP?

RSI on the chart sits near oversold territory, hovering in the low 30s. That reading suggests selling pressure has intensified. However, it does not confirm a bottom. In prior instances, RSI has stayed oversold while the price continued lower.

XRP now trades at a level where reaction matters significantly. Holding $1.88 would support Tara’s hope for stability amid rising volatility. Losing it would likely align XRP with Bitcoin’s unresolved downside toward $83.6k. As Tara warned, conditions favor sharp moves. Traders should expect some volatility as this test plays out.
