XRP Just Flashed a Technical Buy Signal — Here Is What the Chart Shows

 



XRP is sitting at $1.382 after dropping more than 5% from its recent high. The decline started on May 6 right at the $1.46 level and has been steady since. But the chart may be telling a different story now.

The TD Sequential indicator, a widely followed technical tool developed by Tom Demark, has flipped to a buy signal on XRP's 4-hour chart. The signal appears after nine bearish candles complete a sequence that signals trend exhaustion. In simple terms: the selling pressure has run long enough that the indicator expects a reversal.

What makes this signal worth watching is the recent track record. The same indicator, on the same timeframe, printed a sell signal at $1.46 on May 6. That call was accurate. XRP dropped 5.5% in the 48 hours that followed, landing close to where it sits now.

Crypto analyst @alicharts, who shared the chart on X, is looking for a move back to $1.45 in the near term. If XRP clears that resistance, the secondary target moves up to $1.80. Both levels depend on the 4-hour candle close holding above the signal low.

The 4-hour chart shows the "9" label printed at the bottom candle near $1.382. That is the visual marker for the completed TD Sequential setup. Price had stepped down through $1.44, $1.42, $1.40 before settling at the signal candle.

This kind of setup draws attention because the same indicator called both the top and the bottom within the same price structure. That symmetry is what gives the current buy signal more weight than usual.

The TD Sequential is not a guarantee. But when the same tool calls the top, tracks the drop, and then signals exhaustion at the bottom, it is a setup worth watching closely.

Ripple Is Building XRPL's Defense Against Quantum Computing, and the Clock Is Already Running

Image
  Ripple has released a detailed plan to protect the XRP Ledger from quantum computing threats, and the timeline it has set is not aspirational. The target is full post-quantum cryptography readiness by 2028, with active work already underway in 2026. The roadmap runs four phases. The first is an emergency contingency for a scenario where quantum computers break classical cryptography ahead of schedule. Ripple calls this Q-Day readiness. In that scenario, the XRP Ledger would enforce a hard network shift, stopping classical public-key signatures and requiring users to migrate to quantum-safe accounts. The second and third phases cover 2026. Testing begins on NIST-recommended post-quantum algorithms under real XRPL workload conditions. Performance, storage, and bandwidth costs all get measured. Then hybrid deployment begins on Devnet, running quantum-resistant signatures alongside existing ones before anything touches the live network. Project Eleven, an organization working on cr...

Hoskinson Just Said Everything Nobody Else Will Say About Crypto in 2026

Image
  Charles Hoskinson spent over an hour on the O Show with host Wendo in April 2026 and covered ground that most crypto founders avoid in public interviews. The Midnight Network mainnet went live on March 31 with nine institutional node operators including Google Cloud, MoneyGram, Worldpay, Telegram, Vodafone's Pairpoint, eToro, Bullish, Blockdaemon, and Shielded Technologies. That alone is a headline. But it was not the most important thing he said. The AI agent argument is where this interview breaks from the usual. His position is that zero-knowledge proofs are not primarily a privacy feature. They are the only mechanism by which AI agents can verify each other's behavior. When an autonomous agent is managing your funds across multiple blockchains while you sleep, it needs mathematical proof infrastructure underneath it to constrain what it can do, protect your data without exposing it, and settle value in real time without a middleman. Midnight is being built for that future...

: KelpDAO's $292M Bridge Hack Just Broke Aave and Locked Real Lenders Out

Image
  On April 18, 2026, a single forged message on a cross-chain bridge became 2026's largest DeFi exploit. Someone called the lzReceive function on LayerZero's EndpointV2 contract, tricked KelpDAO's bridge into accepting it as a legitimate transfer, and walked away with 116,500 rsETH worth $292 million. That was 18% of rsETH's entire circulating supply, minted on Ethereum mainnet with nothing backing it. The attacker did not stop at the theft. The stolen rsETH went straight into Aave V3 as collateral, and against it, the attacker borrowed approximately $236 million in wrapped ETH. Real funds, borrowed against tokens that had just been fraudulently minted. Aave was left with roughly $280 million in bad debt, frozen rsETH markets on both V3 and V4, and an ETH utilization rate that hit 100%. That last number matters more than it sounds. When ETH utilization on Aave reaches 100%, lenders cannot withdraw. Real WETH suppliers, people who had deposited ETH into Aave's len...
