XRP has been trading with relatively low volatility in recent weeks, consolidating below key resistance levels as broader market momentum stalls. While the recent bounce from support suggests short-term buyers are still present, the price remains trapped in a range without clear bullish conviction.
Technical Analysis
This analysis focuses on the technical indicators and price action of XRP against both USDT and BTC.
The USDT Pair
On the USDT pair, XRP is hovering around $2.50, still below the confluence of the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. After the sharp liquidation wick into the demand zone, the asset bounced quickly but failed to break back above the key resistance near $2.60.
The RSI has also flattened out around 45, reflecting weak momentum and a lack of strong bullish drive. Unless the price reclaims the moving averages and breaks above the $2.60–$2.75 zone with volume, the path of least resistance remains sideways to slightly bearish. Regardless, a return to the support level around $2.20 would offer a better risk-reward for buyers.
The BTC Pair
Looking at the XRPBTC chart, the price remains under pressure after multiple failed attempts to reclaim key resistance levels. It’s currently trading around 2,270 sats, stuck below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. This entire structure has been a prolonged accumulation or distribution range, depending on how it resolves.
While the bounce off the 2,000 sat zone shows buyers are still defending key long-term support, there’s little follow-through to suggest strength. The RSI at 47 indicates a neutral momentum, but unless a clean break above 2,500 sats with high volume occurs, XRP continues to lag against Bitcoin.
