XRP is experiencing a mild rebound, but overall market sentiment remains cautious, whether in USDT or BTC trading pairs. Despite a bounce from recent lows and some short-term momentum improvement, XRP remains below its major moving averages and is trading within a broader downtrend structure. This suggests buyers have improved the short-term picture but have not yet fully reversed the trend.
Ripple Price Analysis: USDT Pair
On the XRP/USDT chart, the cross-border token has pushed towards the psychological $1.50 mark after consolidating above the $1.10-$1.20 support zone for several trading sessions. This rebound is positive, especially with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) trending upwards, but XRP is still below the descending trendline, the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, and within a strong resistance area between $1.75 and $1.80. This zone remains the first significant test for buyers.
Should the asset reclaim this area, the next upside target would be the broader $2.40-$2.50 supply zone. However, prices must break above the 200-day moving average around $2.10 to reach this zone. Until then, the current move looks more like a bounce within a larger downtrend rather than a confirmed reversal. Nevertheless, as long as prices hold above the $1.10-$1.20 base, there is room for buyers to build positions.
BTC Pair
In the Bitcoin pair, XRP is also struggling to stabilize, holding above the critical 2,000 sats support region. The pair has bounced back above 2,000 sats and is attempting to regain short-term momentum, but it remains below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which are capping its upside potential.
On the XRP/BTC chart, the first significant resistance level is around 2,200 sats, coinciding with both major moving averages. The next key level would be the 2,400 to 2,500 sats area. A clean break above these levels would improve the market outlook and signal a potential weakening of its relative weakness against Bitcoin. However, if the pair faces rejection again, the 2,000 sats area remains the critical support to watch, with a break below opening the path back towards the lower boundary of the channel at 1,700 sats.
