XRP Bulls Eye Comeback as Key Technical Signal Flashes Green

After months of sideways action, XRP’s charts are printing a classic reversal pattern—just as the ’smart money’ starts accumulating.

RSI divergence spotted: Price hits lower lows while momentum indicators creep upward. Textbook setup for a 20-30% bounce if Bitcoin holds steady.

Of course, in crypto-land, ’imminent’ could mean 15 minutes or 15 weeks. But for traders nursing altcoin losses, this might be the first hopeful sign since the SEC’s lawyers took their long lunch break.

XRP Builds Momentum On Lower Timeframes

XRP is showing impressive resilience and remains one of the standout performers in the current market cycle. After a 50%+ rally from its April lows, XRP has retraced slightly from its local high NEAR $2.80, yet continues to trade above key support levels. This retracement appears healthy given the scale of the recent move, and momentum remains firmly with the bulls, at least for now.

Market sentiment around XRP is split. Some analysts are calling for the beginning of a new bullish phase, with expectations of massive upside fueled by renewed altcoin strength and institutional interest. Others, however, warn that the current price action may be a temporary bounce within a broader bearish trend and caution that failure to reclaim higher resistance zones could lead to a sharp correction.

Despite the divided outlook, technical signals are leaning bullish in the short term. Martinez shared an update revealing that the TD Sequential indicator has printed multiple buy signals on XRP’s hourly chart. This tool is often used to identify trend reversals or continuation points, and in this case, it suggests that XRP could be gearing up for another leg higher.

If bulls can reclaim the $2.80 level and push beyond recent highs, XRP may ignite further upside momentum and test major resistance levels around $3.00 and beyond. For now, all eyes are on how the price reacts to short-term signals—particularly the buy zone identified by TD Sequential—which may dictate the next MOVE in this critical phase of XRP’s market structure.

Price Analysis: Testing Key Support After Strong Rally

XRP is currently consolidating around the $2.35 level after a strong rally earlier this month that saw the price surge to highs near $2.80. The chart shows that after reaching that local top, XRP has retraced but remains above its 200-day EMA ($2.04) and 200-day SMA ($2.18), both of which now act as dynamic support zones.

This pullback appears to be part of a healthy correction following the sharp run-up, and the structure still favors the bulls as long as XRP holds above $2.20. Price action shows a potential base forming around the $2.35 zone, with decreasing volatility suggesting that the market may be coiling for its next move.

Volume has slightly declined since the peak, hinting at temporary exhaustion from buyers, but the lack of heavy selling pressure indicates that most market participants are holding through the consolidation. A break above the $2.60–$2.65 range could open the door for a retest of the $2.80 resistance and potentially a breakout.
