Chart: TradingView

The 1-hour chart of XRP showed consolidation following a sharp upward move, with prices bouncing between the $2.25 support and the $2.30 resistance. The lack of volume on the red candles signaled selling exhaustion, suggesting that a short-term bullish setup might be forming. A mild bullish flag or rectangle pattern appeared to be developing, often associated with continuation moves in technical analysis.

A break above the $2.30 level, ideally with a successful retest, could be used by scalpers to enter for a potential short-term rally. Conversely, a drop below $2.25 would suggest a loss of momentum and the possibility of a deeper retracement.

The 4-hour chart showed XRP consolidating in a defined range between the $2.26 support and the $2.36 resistance. The asset recently peaked at $2.362 before pulling back, with the current action forming a base around the $2.29 to $2.30 zone. The decreasing volume after the peak at $2.362 reflected fading upward momentum, usually precluding either a breakout or a breakdown. A move above the $2.36 resistance with strong volume would support the case for a bullish continuation toward the $2.50 zone. On the flip side, a breach below $2.26 could negate this consolidation structure and invite further downside risk.

The daily chart showed XRP recovering from a significant drop to $1.611, currently forming higher highs and higher lows, establishing a short-term uptrend. The asset was testing resistance levels near $2.50, which coincided with psychological levels and previous wick highs. A notable spike in volume near the bottom suggested strong buyer interest, although the current tapering off in volume could imply consolidation or waning strength. Critical support lay between $2.10 and $2.20, and a pullback to this area with low selling pressure would be viewed as a healthy retest for potential continuation higher. Traders should watch for signs of rejection near $2.50 to anticipate possible short-term tops.

Oscillator readings offered a mixed but cautiously optimistic outlook. The relative strength index (RSI) at 59.66184 stood neutral, while the Stochastic at 79.42403 also indicated neutrality. However, the commodity channel index (CCI) at 140.97267 suggested a negative signal, and the momentum oscillator at 0.19837 further corroborated selling pressure. The Awesome oscillator, printing a value of 0.12944, remained neutral. Of particular interest, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) level at 0.02937 was flashing a positive signal, which could indicate growing bullish momentum if confirmed by price action.

Moving averages (MAs) were overwhelmingly positive for XRP across various periods. The exponential moving averages (EMA) for 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, and 200 periods all signaled optimism, with respective values such as $2.21135 for the 10-period and $1.98356 for the 200-period. Similarly, the simple moving averages (SMA) for 10, 20, 30, and 50 periods also supported bullish actions, while the 100-period SMA at $2.40872 stood as the only bearish signal. This overall strength in MAs underscored the underlying bullish bias, though traders should remain vigilant at key resistance zones.
