XRP Weak Momentum Boosts Sub-$1 Risk vs BTC

| cryptopotato.com
Ripple’s XRP price remains under pressure. Weak XRP momentum increases the risk of a move toward (and possibly below) sub-$1 levels, especially on the BTC pair. On the USD (USDT) chart, XRP is around $1.08 after an extended decline inside a descending channel. It is holding above the $1 support area, but remains below the falling 100-day and 200-day moving averages, keeping bearish pressure in control. After the June breakdown, XRP has been consolidating between $1 support and $1.25 resistance. Buyers defend $1 repeatedly, yet rebounds have been rejected before XRP can reclaim the falling averages or break the channel’s upper boundary. RSI sits near 50, suggesting balance rather than a confirmed reversal. A sustained break below $1 would likely open the door to lower demand zones. On the BTC pair (XRP/BTC), XRP relative weakness is more pronounced. The pair trades within a long-term descending channel and below the 100-day/200-day moving averages. It recently slipped under ~1,720 sats, with rebounds forming lower highs. Near-term resistance is around 1,850 sats, while higher barriers cluster near the 200-day average around ~2,000 sats. If XRP/BTC fails to reclaim these levels and reverse the bearish structure, the next likely test is near the channel’s lower boundary around 1,500 sats. Key XRP levels to watch: $1 and $1.25 (USDT pair), plus 1,850 sats and 1,500 sats (BTC pair).
Bearish
Both articles converge on the same trading takeaway: XRP momentum is weakening and the market is still not reclaiming key trend indicators. On the USDT pair, XRP sits above the $1 support but remains below falling 100-day and 200-day moving averages, and price is confined to a descending-channel range capped near $1.25. That structure keeps the bias bearish unless $1 is reclaimed and $1.25 is broken. On the XRP/BTC pair, relative weakness is even clearer. The pair trades below major moving averages and has recently lost key support around ~1,720 sats, with rebounds producing lower highs—signals that sellers still control the near-term direction. While RSI near neutral hints at stabilization and there may be room for a short-lived bounce, neither summary confirms a reversal. Therefore, the most likely near-term risk, if support fails, is continuation lower toward the next demand zone (sub-$1 on USDT and ~1,500 sats on BTC).
