XRP Technical Outlook: Price Compresses Near Cycle Lows as Bearish Structure Persists



XRP remains under broad corrective pressure after failing to reclaim the $2.70–$2.95 resistance region, which aligns with the 0.5–0.618 Fibonacci retracement cluster. The sustained rejection from the descending trendline and repeated failures below key EMAs continue to reinforce a neutral-to-bearish medium-term structure.

Price is currently consolidating around the $1.90–$2.00 zone, hovering just above the cycle base support near $1.77, indicating indecision as selling momentum slows but conviction buying remains absent.

EMA Structure (Bearish Bias)

20 EMA: $1.97

50 EMA: $2.02

100 EMA: $2.15

200 EMA: $2.28

XRP is trading below all major EMAs, with the 20 & 50 EMA cluster around $2.00–$2.02 acting as immediate dynamic resistance. The wider separation between the short-term and long-term EMAs reflects a well-established downtrend, where upside moves are corrective in nature unless price reclaims the $2.15–$2.28 region.

Fibonacci & Price Structure

0.786 Fib: $3.256

0.618 Fib: $2.938

0.5 Fib: $2.715

0.382 Fib: $2.492

0.236 Fib: $2.216

Fib 0: $1.770

XRP continues to trade below the 0.236 Fib, confirming structural weakness. The ongoing consolidation above $1.90 represents short-term demand absorption, but the lack of impulsive upside follow-through suggests distribution rather than accumulation.

A clean breakdown below $1.85–$1.77 would expose XRP to fresh downside discovery, while a sustained reclaim of $2.22 is required to shift bias toward a broader corrective rebound.

RSI Momentum

RSI is fluctuating around 44–45, indicating neutral-bearish momentum. The indicator remains below the 50 equilibrium level, with no clear bullish divergence, signaling consolidation within a prevailing downtrend rather than reversal conditions.

📊 Key Levels

Resistance

$2.00–$2.05 (20/50 EMA)

$2.22 (0.236 Fib)

$2.49–$2.50 (0.382 Fib)

$2.71–$2.94 (0.5–0.618 Fib)

Support

$1.90–$1.85 (short-term demand)

$1.77 (cycle base / Fib 0)

RSI: 44–45 — neutral-bearish

📌 Summary

XRP is consolidating near cycle lows after an extended corrective decline, with downside momentum slowing but no confirmed reversal signals in place. The broader structure remains bearish below $2.22, and only a sustained recovery above $2.49–$2.71 would indicate a meaningful trend shift.

Failure to hold $1.85–$1.77 would likely trigger another downside expansion phase, while continued base-building above this zone may precede a short-term relief move.
