XRP maintained stability above $1.50 on Tuesday, as buyers defended a key support area while market participants monitored the token’s next move. Technical indicators suggested constructive momentum, but recent profit-taking and weaker demand have extended the correction from the September high of $1.66.
Data from CryptoQuant reported that XRP reserves on Binance dropped from 2.70 billion to 2.69 billion since last Saturday. Despite the decline, reserve levels remain higher than the mid-August low, reflecting an ongoing abundance of XRP on exchanges. Lower exchange balances typically signal reduced short-term selling pressure, while increased transfers to self-custody wallets are often interpreted as investors opting for longer holding periods. However, these movements alone do not guarantee price appreciation.
Should Binance reserves continue their downward trend along with heightened demand, the decrease in available supply could help maintain resistance areas near $1.66, the September high, and $1.70, last seen in August.
As of press time, XRP is trading at $1.52, reflecting a daily increase of 2.73%. Its 24-hour trading volume totals $4.55 billion, with a total market capitalization of $95.68 billion. Over the past week, the cryptocurrency’s price has fallen by 3.66%, according to CoinMarketCap.
Despite recent recovery attempts, XRP continues to trade within a defined range below notable resistance levels. Analyst Egrag Crypto pointed out that the token is currently confined within a micro-range, between a lower boundary of $1.45 and an upper boundary of $1.65. Moves within this channel are regarded as range-bound, and directionality would only shift following a confirmed close above or below these levels.
Egrag Crypto stated that a confirmed close above $1.65 could alter the market structure and invite further upside, while a close below $1.45 would elevate the risk of a broader correction, potentially targeting levels such as $1.41, $1.37, $1.32, $1.28, and $1.22.
Egrag added that price areas at or below $1.30 may become attractive for future accumulation if the corrective scenario unfolds. Until a breakout occurs, smaller candlestick movements within this zone may not offer clear indications of a new trend.
Analyst Diana highlighted a long-term cup-and-handle formation in XRP’s price chart, targeting a first resistance at $1.71 and a recovery zone between $2.17 and $2.53. She further projected higher technical targets, including $2.90-$3.42 and extending to the $3.40-$3.66 range, with $4.08 as the 100% and $6.00 as the 161.8% Fibonacci extensions. Her projections suggest that a decisive move is required for price expansion, but she emphasized that these are theoretical targets dependent on future price action.
CoinGlass data showed a decrease of 4.31% in XRP futures trading volume to $5.46 billion, while open interest rose by 2.28% to $3.56 billion. The OI-weighted funding rate stands at 0.0095%, highlighting ongoing long-leaning positions as the longs continue to fund shorts. This combination indicates that although fewer trades are being executed, more leveraged positions are accumulating in the market.
Liquidation heatmap analysis revealed that XRP rebounded toward $1.51 following a brief push above $1.55. Liquidity clusters were pinpointed at $1.53-$1.54 and $1.56-$1.58 on the upside, while support concentration exists at $1.49-$1.50 and $1.45-$1.46 lower on the chart. The immediate support area sits at $1.49, while a break above $1.53 could shift focus to higher resistance. Conversely, any weakness below $1.49 might expose the strong support zone near $1.45.
TradingView data placed the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 58.02, marginally above its moving average of 58.06, remaining clear of the overbought mark at 70 and signaling mild bullish momentum. This positioning suggests additional upside potential if buyers continue to defend current support zones. Meanwhile, the MACD indicator remained positive, with the MACD line at 0.05182, the signal line at 0.04908, and a histogram value of 0.00274. The small divergence points to fading momentum despite a generally bullish structure. A sustained move above $1.53 is viewed as necessary for a challenge of the $1.65 resistance, while a drop below $1.45 could reintroduce lower corrective objectives.
In markets characterized by well-defined trading ranges and reactive liquidity zones, close monitoring of both price movements and market sentiment is essential. This approach echoes trends seen in the meme token segment, where community-driven momentum and timely investor actions can spark outsized gains. For instance, Fomo App data cited a notable trade in the “Niu Lai” token, where an initial investment of $99 yielded roughly $370,000, highlighting the rapid capital flows in this sector. In such a dynamic environment, evaluating not just prices but also investor timing and token selection is vital. Platforms like Fomo App integrate token discovery, social feeds, investor rankings, and trade notifications, enabling users to follow both meme token trends and broader market activity.
Diana underscored that XRP must overcome its current resistance zone to pursue new upside targets, while maintaining that the decisive structural area is established between $1.45 and $1.65 according to analysts’ technical assessments.
