Ripple Price Analysis: What’s XRP’s Next Move With Bullish Momentum Fast Fading?

Ripple’s XRP is trying to gain traction in a volatile macro environment, with Bitcoin dominance and ETF optimism stealing the spotlight. Despite broader altcoin hesitation, XRP has seen a near-term rebound but remains trapped under major resistance. The recent spike followed Bitcoin’s ETF rally, but XRP is still under pressure on both the USDT and BTC pairs, reflecting weak relative strength.

Ripple/USDT Pair: Technical Analysis

The XRP/USDT daily chart shows a clear breakout from the descending channel that has been pressuring the price since October. This breakout caused a strong bullish move, pushing the asset into the $2.40 resistance zone. However, the price was quickly rejected from the 100-day moving average, which is now around $2.30, and is currently retreating.

Current support is around the $2.00 zone, a previous high-turn support. This area must hold to keep the bullish structure intact. In the event of a loss, the price could move back to the $1.80 demand zone. On the upside, regaining the $2.40 zone on volume would open the door for momentum towards the critical $3.00 area.

The BTC pair

The XRP/BTC chart paints a less bullish picture. After a brief break above the key 2,400 sat zone, the price faced strong resistance from the 200-day moving average and quickly reversed. XRP is now trading just below the 100- and 200-day moving averages, both flattening out, indicating uncertainty.

The inability to hold above both the moving averages and horizontal resistance signals that bearish pressure is returning. If XRP fails to defend the 2,200 sat zone, it may revisit the key demand area at the 2,000 sat mark.

On the other hand, recapturing the 2,400 sats supply zone on strong volume could fuel another medium-term rally, but that would require broader altcoin strength, which is not yet clear.
