XRP is trading at $1.45 as the new week opens. It is quietly staging one of the more interesting recoveries it has managed since the cycle peak.<\/p>\n
While Bitcoin\u2019s recent push has provided a rising macro tide, XRP is pressing against the convergence of the 100-day MA and the descending channel\u2019s upper boundary simultaneously, with an RSI that is building genuine momentum for the first time in weeks. How the asset handles the next 48 hours may be the most technically significant test the pair has faced this entire corrective phase.<\/p>\n

For the first time since the failed mid-April breakout attempt, XRP is testing the descending channel\u2019s upper boundary with an RSI that has climbed to the 60\u201365 range and is still far from overbought. The price is now sitting directly at the 100-day MA at approximately $1.40, which converges with the channel\u2019s upper rail at the $1.45 level. This area is the most technically loaded resistance zone on the chart.<\/p>\n
A sustained daily close above $1.50 would represent both a channel breakout and a moving average recapture simultaneously, which is the kind of dual confirmation that prior attempts lacked. From there, the first meaningful target is the $1.80 supply zone where the 200-day MA is also located. On the downside, the $1.20 February demand zone remains the critical support level that the market should hold at all costs to avoid a continuation of the bearish trend.<\/p>\n
