XRP is attempting to form a base after a sharp decline but remains trapped within a broader bearish trend, according to technical analysis. The token faces significant resistance near $1.80 and must hold support around $1.20 to prevent further losses. Against Bitcoin, XRP is testing a crucial support level at 2,000 satoshis, with its performance relative to Bitcoin still described as weak.
The recent price action for XRP appears to be a base attempt following a sharp drawdown, though the asset is still trading under a broader bearish structure. For buyers, the main job is to reclaim key resistance zones and break the prevailing downtrend structure.
On the daily XRP-USDT chart, the token is trading around $1.40 inside a descending channel and below both the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. The nearest resistance sits around $1.70 to $1.80, where prior demand flipped into supply and where the 100-day moving average is also located.
On the other side, support is defined around $1.20 to $1.10, which is the key floor that has to hold to keep the base intact. If XRP can reclaim $1.85, the next major upside zone is around $2.45 to $2.50.
If the $1.20 support fails, downside risk expands quickly because it breaks the current support shelf. The analysis states, “this remains a sideways pause inside a larger downtrend.”
On the daily XRP-BTC chart, the token is pressing into a key support region near 2,000 satoshis. The asset is also sitting below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, so relative strength versus Bitcoin is still weak.
If the 2,000 satoshi level holds and XRP can reclaim 2,200 and 2,500 satoshis, the next upside target becomes 2,700 satoshis. However, if the 2,000 satoshi support zone breaks on a clean daily close, the next major demand area comes in way deeper at around the 1,500 satoshi zone.
