Key Insights:
- XRP is trading inside a falling channel, with strong resistance at the 4-hour 20 EMA.
- Price nears a demand zone at $1.80, which previously triggered a sharp upward rebound.
- A rare bullish RSI divergence on the daily chart mirrors XRP’s 2022 bottom pattern.
XRP was trading at $1.91, down 4.1% in the last 24 hours and 7.8% over the past week. On the 4-hour chart, price continues to move inside a falling channel, defined by lower highs and lower lows. The pattern remains intact, with XRP moving toward the lower boundary of this structure.
The 4-hour 20 EMA has acted as a ceiling for recent price attempts to rise. This moving average also overlaps with several POC (Point of Control) zones, where volume has historically been higher. This has made the $2.00–$2.10 range difficult for bulls to clear.
Liquidity Zone in Focus
A demand area sits just below the current support level, near $1.80. This zone was last tested in late November, where price bounced sharply. Traders are watching for another move into this area. If it holds again, XRP may rebound and retest the 20 EMA and the upper channel boundary near $2.10.
The next few sessions could bring that retest. However, a clean drop below $1.80 may invalidate this idea and open the way for lower levels. Volume and price action at the liquidity pocket will be key.
RSI Divergence Points to Possible Reversal
On the daily chart, XRP is showing a bullish RSI divergence. While price has made lower lows, the RSI has made higher lows—was sitting around 40. This setup can signal that downside pressure is easing.
This same signal was seen in 2022, when XRP was trading around $0.28. At that time, price stabilized shortly after the divergence appeared and later moved into a strong recovery phase. The similarities between the current chart and the 2022 pattern have caught traders’ attention.
Past Pattern Raises Market Interest
A side-by-side chart shows the 2022 divergence next to the current one. Back then, the RSI divergence marked the beginning of a major move upward. Market participants are now watching to see if the same structure plays out again.
One analyst said, “These RSI divergences are rare on XRP’s daily chart,” while another noted, “They often appear when sellers begin to lose momentum and buyers start stepping in quietly.” While outcomes may vary, this pattern is being monitored closely.
All eyes are now on whether XRP repeats its 2022 setup—or breaks the structure entirely.
