XRP Price Update: XRP Teeters on $2.35 Support—Next Move Critical

RXP price action is showing a lack of directionality. On the 1-hour chart, XRP is trading in a narrow range, encountering support around $2.356 and resistance at $2.435. The price action suggests a descending triangle pattern, characterized by lower highs and stable lows, which is typically a bearish formation. However, the low volume observed throughout the hour indicates a lack of strong momentum from either bulls or bears.

A break below $2.35 could signal short-term downside, while failure to breach this level might prompt a quick bullish reversal targeting $2.43 or higher. Scalpers can capitalize on short-lived price swings during breakouts or breakdowns.

The 4-hour chart highlights a mid-term corrective phase, with XRP retracing from a recent high of $2.59. Support at $2.22 has proved resilient during previous selloffs, but a descending channel has emerged, with each rally topping out lower than the last. Price consolidation within this downtrend signals short-term bearish momentum, though the structure resembles a potential bull flag if $2.35 support continues to hold.

A breakout above the descending trendline near $2.45 could revive bullish sentiment with an initial upside target of $2.60. Conversely, a confirmed loss of $2.35 support may see the price revisit the $2.22 region.

The daily chart provides a broader perspective on XRP's activity, showing price action stabilizing after a failed breakout to nearly $3.00. The current consolidation between $2.30 and $2.50 follows a steep pullback and appears to be forming a base. Key support is situated around $1.90, while resistance at $2.999 remains a critical ceiling.

Daily candlesticks are characterized by tight ranges and decreasing volume, signaling market indecision. A bullish continuation would require a strong reclaim of the $2.60 level backed by renewed volume; otherwise, a drift back toward the $2.30-$2.20 support zone could unfold.

Technical indicators provide a mixed outlook. Oscillators maintain a largely neutral stance. The relative strength index (RSI) stands at 49.3, suggesting a balance between buying and selling pressures. The Stochastic indicator at 70.5 and the commodity channel index (CCI) at 19.75 both echo neutrality, while the average directional index (ADX) at 14.8 shows weak trend strength.

The awesome oscillator offers a mild bullish signal with a value of 0.00282, while momentum slipped into bearish territory at 0.12887. Interestingly, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) showed an optimistic signal at -0.1962, adding a hint of divergence across oscillators and confirming the broader indecisive sentiment.

Moving averages (MAs) display a complex configuration across timeframes. The exponential moving average (EMA) and simple moving average (SMA) for 10 periods showed buy signals, suggesting short-term support around $2.36-$2.37. However, the 20- and 30-period exponential moving averages issued sell signals, indicating overhead resistance. Longer-term 100- and 200-period averages largely favored the bulls, especially the 200-period moving averages with values well below current price levels, indicating structural support. Mid-range averages (20 to 50 periods) displayed mixed signals, reflecting XRP's struggle to maintain upward momentum.

The clash between short-term bullish and mid-term bearish moving averages highlights a market caught in transition.

If buyers can defend the $2.35 support level and claim $2.45-$2.50 with increasing volume, XRP could break free from its descending structures and aim for $2.60, potentially setting sights on $2.80 or even the $3.00 resistance zone. Support from long-term moving averages and the buy signals from short-term moving averages provide a foundational case for further upside if momentum returns.

Failure to hold the $2.35 support level, particularly if volume increases on a breakdown, could pave the way for a retracement toward $2.22 or lower. The descending triangle on the 1-hour chart, the ongoing pullback on the 4-hour chart, and the neutral-to-bearish signals from several oscillators and mid-range moving averages reinforce the risk of continued downward pressure.
