Supply and demand imbalances are foundational to price movements in any financial market, including cryptocurrencies like Ripple ($XRP). These imbalances occur when there is a significant disparity between buy orders (demand) and sell orders (supply) at certain price levels.

  • Demand Imbalance (Bullish): When price rallies sharply, leaving behind a zone where buyers aggressively absorbed all sell orders, creating a “demand zone.”
  • Supply Imbalance (Bearish): When price drops rapidly, leaving behind a zone where sellers overwhelmed buyers, creating a “supply zone.”

In $XRP, the recent strong bullish impulse move has likely exhausted immediate demand, meaning a pullback is probable before the next sustainable rally.

Why You Should Not Buy After a Strong Impulse Move?

  1. Exhaustion of Buyers – A rapid price surge often leads to profit-taking, where early buyers sell, increasing supply and causing a retracement.
  2. Overextension & Mean Reversion – Markets rarely move in one direction forever. After a strong move, price often retests key demand levels before continuing.
  3. Demand Imbalance at 0.6757 – This is a critical level where previous buyers stepped in aggressively. A retest of this zone would offer a higher probability entry with better risk/reward.

Why Patience is Key for Ripple $XRP Investors?

  • Waiting for the Pullback: Entering after a strong impulse move increases risk because the price is far from key demand zones.
  • Better Risk/Reward at 0.6757: If $XRP pulls back to this level and holds, it confirms strong demand, making it a safer long-term entry.
  • Avoiding Emotional FOMO: Buying after a big green candle often leads to buying high and selling low if the market corrects.

While $XRP has strong bullish potential, waiting for a retest of the 0.6757 demand imbalance provides a more strategic entry. Patience ensures you buy at a level where buyers are likely to step in again, rather than chasing a move that may soon correct.

Key Takeaway: Do not buy after a strong impulse move—wait for the pullback to demand zones for optimal entries.
