- XRP/USD is trading within a rising channel, but recent price action shows signs of weakness near the upper resistance level.

- The price is testing a key horizontal resistance zone while struggling to break higher.

📊 Trade Entry Criteria:

- Stop Loss (SL): Above 3.291 USD (above the recent highs)
- Take Profit (TP): 2.104 - 2.070 USD (previous strong support)
- Risk-to-Reward Ratio: Favourable short setup with R:R over 1:3

🛑 Stop-Loss Placement:
- Stop-loss is placed above 3.291 USD to protect against a potential breakout continuation.

📉 Profit Target Justification:
- The main target is the 2.104 - 2.070 USD range, aligning with a key horizontal support level.
