Analyst JD highlighted on March 9 that XRP continues to form a long-term bullish structure, tracing a rising trendline from early accumulation near sub-$0.01 levels.
JD claims that this diagonal support has created higher lows over time, with every dip having seen buyers. Recently, however, XRP has pulled back to this trendline, touching a significant demand area that has previously resulted in strong rallies.
The resistance is apparent in the $3.3 to $3.5 price range, which could be considered an ascending triangle. According to JD, the triangle indicates that the buying power is increasing as the sellers attempt to defend the price ceiling.

It could also be considered a rising wedge for the price, which could increase the bearish pressures for the short-term price trend.
The momentum indicators agree with the setup. The RSI has a hidden bullish divergence, where the price is making higher lows, and the RSI is making lower lows. JD said that buying in this area can potentially lay the foundation for the next rally.
