XRP Price Continues to Show Bearish Divergence Despite Some Short-Term Bullish Action

Ripple’s native token XRP is currently down by more than 1% and is trading at $2.39. The token’s price continues to show a larger bearish divergence on the 3-day chart. Despite some short-term bullish action, the overall momentum is still leaning toward the downside. For months, market analysts have been warning that major bullish movement is unlikely in the near future.

As BenAZUSA pointed out on Monday, XRP has seen brief bullish movements, with some positive price structure breaking above key levels. According to analyst Josh of Crypto World, these moves have allowed XRP to flip previous resistance into support, giving traders hope for short-term price action. However, the overarching bearish divergence remains, signaling that larger price increases may still be unlikely for the near future.

Key Support and Resistance Levels

After finding support between $2.24 and $2.30, XRP’s price testing major support around $1.95 to $2.50. On the flip side, resistance levels are seen at $2.60 to $2.65 and again near $2.80. A significant resistance zone is present near the $3 mark, making it a key level for any possible upward movement.

Over the past month, XRP has primarily moved sideways within a price range defined by key support and resistance levels. With the larger bearish divergence in play, it’s likely that this trend will continue until more definitive market signals emerge. In the immediate term, XRP’s price is expected to experience fluctuations within this range, marked by a lack of strong directional momentum.

As BenAZUSA further noted, the long-term outlook for XRP remains uncertain, with market analysts suggesting the possibility of a “last hurrah” for bullish action. Some, like Josh, believe that XRP could experience a final euphoric surge before a more significant downtrend, driven by broader market forces.

With the market still in a corrective phase, it may take some time before XRP can break out of its sideways movement and generate substantial price action. Ultimately, the direction of XRP’s price trend will depend on the emergence of a strong breakout catalyst, leading to either a significant increase or decrease in price.
