- XRP maintains a narrow range near $1.35-$1.36 under pressure.
- Most moving averages and signals are still showing a dominant downward trend.
- A weak RSI indicates a pause, with the $1.35 level acting as a key support.
XRP is trading at $1.36, almost directly at a major short-term support area after a steady decline across multiple time frames.
The price is down 7.4% over the past seven days and 6.4% over the past month, continuing a broader downtrend that has now reached a 44% decline over the past year.
This establishes the current state of the market ripple The token is at the center of a crucial decision point, with bulls and bears actively testing whether the support at $1.35 can hold.
XRP has entered a tight consolidation phase
XRP has been moving within a very tight range between $1.35 and $1.38 over the past 24 hours.
This tight consolidation often reflects indecision in the market, as neither the bulls nor the bears have enough momentum to force a clear breakout.
The lower end of this range, $1.35, is the immediate level to watch now.
A clear breakdown below this point would put XRP in a weaker technical structure, with little short-term support visible underneath.
On the upside, the $1.38 level remains the first resistance barrier, and the price has repeatedly failed to sustain moves above it in recent sessions.
But despite this pressure, momentum indicators indicate that the market remains cautiously inclined.
The 14-day RSI is at 41.94, which is neutral but leaning towards weakness.
On the weekly chart, the RSI drops further to 38.67, which is usually interpreted as an oversold area.
This difference between time frames indicates that while short-term selling pressure is subsiding, long-term momentum remains under pressure.
The technical structure of XRP remains under bearish control
A broader look at the trend shows that XRP is still trading below all the major Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on the daily chart.
These include the 10-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, which are all positioned above the current price.
This indicates a clear bearish structure, with each major trend line acting as resistance rather than support.
Technically, this type of stacking usually reflects a market that has not yet completed the full reversal phase.
In addition, from 23 tracked technical indicators13 currently indicate sell, while only 3 indicate buy conditions, and 7 remains neutral.
The moving averages alone represent 12 sell signals with zero buy signals, reinforcing the view that the long-term trend has not shifted back in favor of buyers.
Meanwhile, oscillators such as MACD and RSI present a slightly different picture. With 3 buy signals versus 1 sell signal, short-term momentum indicators are showing early signs of stabilizing.
However, this was not strong enough to counter the prevailing downtrend formed by the moving averages.
The next trend move will depend largely on whether buyers can defend the $1.35 support area or whether selling pressure forces a breakout to a lower price area.
Short-term estimates point to a move towards $1.39, while broader annual forecasts place 2026 within a broad range between $0.82 and $2.12.
