The price has simultaneously broken the 100-day MA and the descending channel\u2019s upper boundary on the USDT pair, while the BTC pair breaks above a short-term resistance level. For the first time this cycle, both pairs are showing genuine strength at the same time, and the RSI on each is backing it up.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ripple-price-analysis-the-usdt-pair\">Ripple Price Analysis: The USDT Pair<\/h2>\n<p>XRP is finally consolidating above the convergence of the declining 100-day MA at approximately $1.40 and the descending channel\u2019s upper boundary on the USDT pair. The RSI has also climbed to the 55-60 range and is sustaining rather than fading. This suggests the buying pressure behind this approach is more durable than prior attempts.<\/p>\n<p>A sustained daily close above the psychological $1.50 mark can confirm the breakout and pave the road toward the $1.80 supply zone. The 200-day moving average, also located around the same zone, could also be reclaimed if momentum sustains. This would be the signal that many investors sitting on the sidelines would want to see before entering the market again and going long on XRP for the coming months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/XRPUSDT-3-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-btc-pair\">The BTC Pair<\/h2>\n<p>There is also a notable development on the BTC pair. The price is breaking testing the recent low around 1,800 sats after a recovery from 1,700. This move has been accompanied by a bullish RSI divergence and recovery from oversold levels, which is the reversal pattern many traders look for after a liquidity sweep below a significant level.<\/p>\n<p>If the 1,800 sats level is reclaimed, the next meaningful resistance sits at the 2,000 sats zone, where the 100-day moving average is declining, followed by the 200-day moving average at approximately 2,100 sats.<\/p>\n<p>A reclaim of 2,000 sats area would be the first genuine sign that XRP\u2019s multi-month underperformance against Bitcoin is beginning to reverse. A consolidation above 1,800 sats would be an encouraging development, but the heavier structural work remains ahead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/XRPBTC-3-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1437238\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=2560\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=2560 2560w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=300,h=174 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=1024,h=596 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=768,h=447 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=1536,h=893 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=2048,h=1191 2048w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=90,h=52 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=150,h=87 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=2000,h=1163 2000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=1600,h=930 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=1400,h=814 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=1200,h=698 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=1000,h=582 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=900,h=523 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=800,h=465 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=700,h=407 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=600,h=349 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=500,h=291 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=400,h=233 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=200,h=116 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/8ede2e20-de0c-44c7-c837-778c1fc9d300\/w=100,h=58 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=cryptopotato.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"cp-prefer-banner\" onclick=\"if(typeof gtag === 'function') { gtag('event', 'click_prefer_google', {'page_path': window.location.pathname}); }\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"cp-prefer-icon\" viewbox=\"0 0 48 48\"><path fill=\"#EA4335\" d=\"M24 9.5c3.54 0 6.71 1.22 9.21 3.6l6.85-6.85C35.9 2.38 30.47 0 24 0 14.62 0 6.51 5.38 2.56 13.22l7.98 6.19C12.43 13.7 17.74 9.5 24 9.5z\"\/><path fill=\"#4285F4\" d=\"M46.98 24.55c0-1.57-.15-3.09-.38-4.55H24v9.02h12.94c-.58 2.96-2.26 5.48-4.78 7.18l7.73 6c4.51-4.18 7.09-10.36 7.09-17.65z\"\/><path fill=\"#FBBC05\" d=\"M10.53 28.59c-.48-1.45-.76-2.99-.76-4.59s.27-3.14.76-4.59l-7.98-6.19C.92 16.46 0 20.12 0 24c0 3.88.92 7.54 2.56 10.78l7.97-6.19z\"\/><path fill=\"#34A853\" d=\"M24 48c6.48 0 11.93-2.13 15.89-5.81l-7.73-6c-2.15 1.45-4.92 2.3-8.16 2.3-6.26 0-11.57-4.22-13.47-9.91l-7.98 6.19C6.51 42.62 14.62 48 24 48z\"\/><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0 0h48v48H0z\"\/><\/svg><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cp-line-1\">Prefer CryptoPotato on Google News \u2013 <\/span><span class=\"cp-line-2\">Never miss a breaking move<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>Binance Free $600 (CryptoPotato Exclusive): <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance600f\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Use this link<\/a> to register a new account and receive $600 exclusive welcome offer on Binance<\/b> (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance600d\/\">full details<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pl\/bybit24\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic; color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Disclaimer: Information found on CryptoPotato is those of writers quoted.
