XRP is trading at $2.42 with a 24-hour volume of $5.1 billion. The token has fallen 3% in the past day and 15% over the last week.<\/p>\n

While the short-term outlook in USD terms appears weak, current technical setups suggest XRP could outperform Ethereum soon.<\/p>\n

Falling Wedge Pattern Suggests Possible Reversal<\/h2>\n

The XRP\/ETH chart shows a falling wedge formation, according to CryptoBull. This setup features downward-sloping trendlines that gradually move closer together. The asset is currently near the lower support area at 0.0006 ETH.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, this pattern often marks the end of a downtrend. If XRP moves above the upper line of the wedge, it could start gaining on Ethereum. A move beyond the 200-day moving average, which still acts as resistance, would confirm strength. Until then, the price is trading in a narrowing range.<\/p>\n

In addition, XRP has also moved above a falling channel on the BTC pair. This channel has been in place since 2017. In late 2024, XRP broke through this structure and moved above the 50-period exponential moving average, based on the chart posted<\/a> by EtherNasyonaL.<\/p>\n

After the breakout, price action shifted into a sideways range. This type of behavior is often seen when markets pause to gather strength. A recent pullback served as a test of the breakout zone. XRP stayed above the old resistance, which is now acting as support. This move suggests that buyers are still in control over the longer term.<\/p>\n

Range Between Key Historical Levels<\/h2>\n

On the XRP\/USD chart, the asset continues to move between $2 and $3.3. These are the highs from 2021 and 2017, respectively. According to analyst EtherNasyonaL, XRP remains in a reaccumulation phase. They wrote<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\u201cPrice is stuck in the reaccumulation phase between the 2017 peak at $3.3 and the 2021 peak at $1.96.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This range is drawing attention from long-term holders. It is seen as a key area that could decide the next direction. If the asset breaks above $3.3, it may signal a much larger move ahead.<\/p>\n

Recent Partnerships<\/h2>\n

Ripple has announced<\/a> a new partnership with South Africa\u2019s Absa Bank, which will use the former’s custody platform to manage tokenized assets. These include digital currencies and other blockchain-based products.<\/p>\n

This agreement gives Absa access to Ripple\u2019s tech stack while helping it expand its presence in African financial markets. Meanwhile, filings related to crypto-based ETFs, including those involving Ripple, are still under review<\/a> by the US SEC.<\/p>\n
