Ripple’s Struggles: Will XRP Ever Make a Comeback? Or Is It Just Going to Keep Dropping?

by

So, here we are, folks. XRP is hanging out at $1.37, like that guy at the party who doesn’t really know anyone but insists on standing in the corner. Crypto markets are caught in some macro mess, and even a US-Iran ceasefire, which sounds pretty dramatic, doesn’t seem to do much for XRP. There’s no big recovery in altcoins-surprise, surprise. Geopolitical relief, huh? Yeah, sure. But XRP? Still stuck in a downtrend, like a car stuck in traffic-no signs of getting out anytime soon.

The USDT Pair: Still Stuck in a Rut

Let’s talk about the XRP/USDT pair, which, spoiler alert, isn’t doing much. It’s still stuck in that descending channel-like the same broken record we’ve been hearing since July 2025. The trading range? Meh. The 100-day moving average (around $1.60) and 200-day moving average (around $2.00) are both dropping like a bad habit. There’s a little resistance at $1.80, which is basically a brick wall that has rejected every attempt at recovery since February. If XRP somehow breaks through this level, it might give us a glimmer of hope. But don’t hold your breath.

On the downside, the $1.20 support zone is the last line of defense. It held up during February’s meltdown, but who knows-XRP might decide it’s time for round two. So, keep an eye on it. If it drops below $1.20? Well, we might be heading to $1.00 or lower. Yep, that’s where we’re at.

And the RSI? Yeah, it’s making a little recovery toward 50. It was in deep oversold territory back in February, but it still doesn’t inspire confidence. So, a drop below $1.20? Totally possible. Could open the door to more pain.

The BTC Pair: Just a Losing Battle

Now, let’s talk about XRP/BTC. It’s a disaster. XRP is now trading at 1,921 sats, which is below the 2,000 sats support level that had been holding up like a half-hearted promise. Breaking below that? Bad news. It’s like XRP decided to lose even more ground against Bitcoin, which, by the way, is also in a bearish trend. So, yeah, not great.

Both the 100-day moving average (around 2,100 sats) and 200-day moving average (around 2,200 sats) are still hanging above, getting lower, and just not doing XRP any favors. The descending channel structure? Still there. The RSI is floating around the mid-30s, which means: neutral, no clear direction. So, no, there’s no bullish divergence to get excited about. Not yet, anyway.

If you’re hoping for some upside action, the next key levels to watch are 1,600 sats (the lower end of the channel) and 1,500 sats. And if XRP somehow reclaims 2,000 sats? Yeah, maybe we can talk about a recovery. But that’s a big “maybe.”
