Current Trends in Ripple Price: Warning Indicators Emerge Against USD and BTC
Analyzing the recent performance of XRP against both USD and BTC, highlighting warning signs in the market.
XRP continues to trade in a corrective environment following a sharp rebound earlier this month. Against USDT, the asset remains above significant demand zones but struggles to reclaim higher distribution areas.
XRP Performance vs BTC
Compared to Bitcoin, XRP is in a structural downtrend, showing underperformance after a brief resistance spike. The strength of Bitcoin continues to overshadow XRP until the latter can secure a higher low and surpass critical moving averages.
Analysis of the USDT Pair
The daily chart shows XRP bouncing from the $1.80 support level, making its way to the $2.40 supply area, facing resistance with the declining 100-day moving average remaining below the 200-day moving average.
A rejection from this confluence, coupled with a cooling daily RSI after an overbought scenario, signals a market shift from impulsive to corrective behavior rather than a confirmed reversal.
In the near term, the $2.00 level is crucial; maintaining above it would support a constructive higher-low structure with potential attempts towards $2.40 and a test of the 200-day moving average. Conversely, closing below this level could signal renewed selling pressures, pushing the asset back toward the $1.80 demand area, the prior rally base.
XRP/USDT Chart
Performance vs BTC
The daily chart of the XRP/BTC pair indicates a clear rejection from the resistance band between 2,400 and 2,500 sats, which aligns with the critical 200-day moving average and a previous distribution zone. Following the failed breakout, the price has retreated and trades around the 2,150 sats level, with the daily RSI declining from a local peak. This pattern is often seen in downtrends where resistance rallies attract selling.
If weakness persists, the next significant technical level appears around 2,000 sats. Only a consistent recovery above the 2,400 sats region, combined with a hold above daily moving averages, would signify a meaningful shift in relative strength, paving the way for a larger recovery phase in XRP’s favor against Bitcoin.
