XRP: Up, Down, or Sideways? Larry David Weighs In!

So, XRP’s below $1.520, huh? Big whoop. It’s like the time I lost my car keys-everyone’s panicking, but nobody’s doing anything useful. Now it’s consolidating losses. Great. Just what we needed. More consolidating. Can’t it just make up its mind already?

  • XRP decided to take the stairs down, below the $1.550 zone. Classy move.
  • Now it’s above $1.450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Big deal. My cat moves more decisively than this.
  • Oh, look, a “bullish trend line” at $1.4720. Sure, because that’s totally going to save the day. (Data source: Kraken. Because why not?)
  • If it stays below $1.550, it’s going down. Shocking. Next you’ll tell me water’s wet.

XRP couldn’t hold above $1.60. Surprise, surprise. It’s like me trying to hold onto a compliment-it just slips away. Below $1.550, below $1.520. It’s a regular slide at a playground. And now it’s in a “short-term bearish zone.” Great. Another zone. Just what the world needed.

It even dipped below $1.50. Hit a low at $1.4437. Now it’s “consolidating losses.” Consolidating? Sounds like my ex trying to justify keeping my sweater. There was a tiny upward move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level. Whoop-de-doo. Let’s throw a parade.

Trading above $1.450 and the 100-hourly SMA. Yawn. Another trend line at $1.4720. These trend lines are like my excuses-they’re everywhere but don’t mean much.

If it recovers, it might hit $1.5150. Might. Or it might not. Who knows? First major resistance at $1.520. A close above that could send it to $1.550. Or not. It’s XRP. It does what it wants.

Next hurdle: $1.5840. Because why stop at one hurdle when you can have two? Above that, maybe $1.620. Or $1.650. Or maybe it’ll just take a nap. Who cares? The next major hurdle is $1.6750. Good luck with that.

If it can’t clear $1.520, it’s back to the decline. Initial support at $1.460. Or the trend line. Because trend lines are apparently the new safety net. Next support: $1.440. Below that? $1.380. Then $1.350. And finally, $1.3250. It’s like a never-ending garage sale of support levels.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – Losing pace in the bearish zone. Just like my will to live on Mondays.

Hourly RSI – Below 50. Thrilling.

Major Support Levels – $1.470 and $1.440. Because two supports are better than one.
