Key Insights:
- XRP futures open interest falls to $453M, the lowest level since early 2024.
- Gaussian Channel shows price slipping toward $1.60 after failing mid and upper bands.
- Bullish RSI divergence forms, but price must break $1.92 EMA to shift short-term trend.
Open interest in XRP futures on Binance has dropped to $453.1 million. This is the lowest level seen since early 2024. The decline reflects reduced activity in the derivatives market. Between March and August 2025, open interest peaked above $1.6 billion.
The drop in open interest comes alongside a steady decline in price. XRP has fallen from around $3.00 in mid-2025 to $1.85 today. The lower interest in futures trading may suggest that fewer traders are willing to take high-risk positions at this stage.
Price Pressure Moves Toward Channel Base
XRP was moving closer to the lower end of the Gaussian Channel. This indicator tracks price behavior across three regression bands. The price has already slipped below the upper band at $2.79 and the middle band at $2.20. It is now sitting near the lower band, which is around $1.61.
For this pattern to develop further, XRP would need to continue closing below $1.80. If that happens, the $1.60–$1.50 area may become the next level of interest. Analysts observing the move suggest this could be where “buyers start to step back in,” though no confirmation has been seen yet.
Divergence Suggests Shift in Momentum
A bullish divergence has formed between price and RSI on the daily chart. While the price shows lower lows, RSI is moving in the opposite direction, showing higher lows. The RSI currently reads 38.44.
This pattern suggests weakening pressure on the downside. However, the price action still needs to confirm the change. Until then, the move remains in the setup phase.
$1.92 EMA is Immediate Resistance
The 20-day EMA sits at $1.92 and continues to act as resistance. XRP has failed to close above this level since late 2025. A clear break above it would be the first step toward any upward move.
Traders say “$1.92 is the line bulls must cross to change the trend.” Without that break, price action is likely to stay within the current range. The next few daily closes will be important to see if pressure from buyers increases.
