XRP failed to maintain its upward momentum when approaching the strong resistance area of $3.10 and is now entering a correction phase. If buying pressure does not return soon, XRP risks declining further below key support levels.

Recent Developments

  • After hitting the $3.10 area, the price of XRP created a short-term peak and began to drop below the $3.00 mark.

  • The short-term uptrend line with support at $3.060 has been broken on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

  • The price has pierced the 23.6% Fibonacci level of the upward move from the low of $2.730 to the peak of $3.106.

  • Currently, XRP is trading below $3.00 and the 100-hour SMA, indicating that selling pressure is dominant.

Current Support Zone

Bulls are trying to defend the area around the 50% Fibonacci level of the recent upward move, corresponding to about $2.880. This will be a key area to determine the price's recovery potential in the short term.

  • Nearest support: $2.920

  • Key support: $2.880

  • If the price breaks below $2.880 and closes under this level, the downtrend could extend to $2.810, even $2.750 – where strong buying pressure is expected to return.

Resistance Zone to Watch

If the price holds at $2.880 and rebounds:

  • Nearest resistance is at $2.950

  • Key level: $3.00 – if surpassed, it will create momentum for the price to move to $3.065 and $3.10.

  • If decisively breaking above $3.10, XRP could target $3.12 or even $3.20 in the short term.

Technical Signals

  • MACD (Hourly Chart): Expanding in the negative zone, indicating that the downtrend remains dominant.

  • RSI (Relative Strength Index): Below 50, indicating that selling pressure is still greater than buying pressure.

Conclusion

The XRP market is in a sensitive phase as buyers and sellers are struggling around the support level of $2.880. If this area is breached, the downtrend could strengthen quickly. Conversely, if it holds and breaks above $3.00, XRP will have the opportunity to challenge the $3.10 – $3.20 area in the near future.
