XRP Technical Weakness: Weak vs USD, Drops vs BTC

| cryptopotato.com
XRP trades near $1.43 and remains in a correction that has erased most prior bull-market gains. On XRP/USDT, XRP bounced from about $1.20 but failed to build momentum and is still capped by $1.80, the top of a descending channel and a repeated supply zone. The 100-day moving average (~$1.60) and 200-day moving average (~$2.10) sit above price and continue trending down. RSI has recovered to around 50, but that is neutral rather than bullish. Traders may need sustained closes above $1.80 to improve the XRP outlook; a drop below $1.20 could reopen downside toward $1.00. Against BTC, XRP is weaker. XRP/BTC is around 1,994 sats and testing the ~2,000 sats support that has held through much of the correction. Overhead, the 100-day and 200-day averages (~2,200 and ~2,100 sats) are converging downward. After rejection near the 100-day MA, XRP/BTC RSI slipped back below 50, pointing to bearish short-term momentum. If XRP/BTC cannot reclaim and hold above 2,000 sats and break the channel ceiling, the ratio may drift toward the lower channel area near ~1,600 sats (or lower) over coming months. Key levels to watch for XRP: $1.80 resistance and the $1.10–$1.20 support zone on XRP/USDT, plus ~2,000 sats support and the channel top on XRP/BTC.
Bearish
Both articles describe XRP as technically weak and still trapped in a bearish structure. On XRP/USDT, price is below the declining 100-day and 200-day moving averages and is capped by the $1.80 descending-channel supply zone. Momentum is only neutral (RSI ~50), meaning the rebound lacks follow-through. A failure to reclaim $1.80 keeps the bearish bias intact, while a break below $1.20 increases the odds of further downside. On XRP/BTC, XRP underperforms BTC and is testing the ~2,000 sats support. Overhead moving averages on the pair remain converging and trending down, and RSI recently slipped back below 50 after rejection—signals that buyers are not in control yet. Without a convincing reclaim of 2,000 sats and a channel break, the pair is likely to drift toward the lower channel zone near ~1,600 sats over coming months. Overall, the combined indicator set (price below key MAs, descending channel resistance, and bearish/neutral momentum) supports a bearish outlook for XRP in both the short and medium term.
