Weather forecasters say “70% chance of rain” and nobody calls them cowards — that is exactly how price should be forecast. Here is the week ahead in ranges and odds, all of it graded when the week ends.
XRP enters the week at $1.0867, down 1.9% on the week, with volatility at 0.87× its quarterly norm. The bands call a 1.005–1.171 close at 2-in-3 odds. A new 30-day high is a 18% proposition from spots like this one; a new low, 33%. Both can be true — that is what a wide week looks like. Direction remains a coin flip, and the desk will not pretend otherwise on a Sunday any more than on a Tuesday.

Watch item, not calendar item: a Clarity Act floor vote has been predicted for this week by members of Congress — it is on the docket, and joins this table only if it is actually scheduled.
The week closed down 1.9%. Nightly band grades live on the public ledger; this section grows a full called-vs-actual table as the weekly forecasts accrue — the first full week grades next Sunday, on the record like everything else.
