XRP remains firmly in a corrective structure, trading near $1.00 after months of lower highs and lower lows. The token is testing a descending channel below its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, keeping the broader market tilted to the downside. While a relief move is possible from current support, the trend is bearish until key resistance levels are reclaimed.
XRP is currently testing the $1.00 support zone, which has acted as a local floor during recent consolidation. Holding this area could allow buyers to build a base for a recovery toward the first major resistance at $1.25-$1.30.
This resistance zone is critical as it aligns with the declining 200-day moving average. A breakout above the descending channel and the $1.30 supply zone could open the door toward the $1.50-$1.60 resistance area.
As long as XRP remains below the $1.25-$1.30 area, the prevailing downtrend remains intact. If the $1.00 support fails, the next major downside area is around $0.90.
A sustained move below $0.90 would signal another structural breakdown. This could push the price deeper toward the lower boundary of the large channel.
The XRP/BTC pair paints a similarly weak picture. The pair has broken below the 1,700 sats support level and continues to trade within a broader descending structure.
XRP/BTC is now approaching the 1,500 sats support zone. Holding this area could allow a recovery back toward 1,700 sats, which has now become the first key resistance.
Until the 1,700 sats level is reclaimed, XRP appears likely to remain relatively weak against Bitcoin. The 1,500 sat demand zone is the crucial level for buyers to defend on the BTC pair.
A sustained defense of this area could fuel a rebound against USDT. The broader bearish structure remains in place unless XRP begins reclaiming the overhead resistance levels.
