XRP Holds Above $2.00, Consolidates at 21‑Day SMA with Range-Bound Bias
XRP has stabilized above the $2.00 support after earlier dips below $1.80, trading around $2.20–$2.25 and pressured by the 21‑day simple moving average (SMA). Short‑ and mid‑term charts diverge: daily bars sit below downward‑sloping moving averages, while the 4‑hour frame shows price above rising short‑term averages. Doji candlesticks and flat 21‑ and 50‑day SMAs point to indecision and sideways action. Key levels to watch: support at $1.80 and $1.60; resistance at $2.40 (50‑day SMA), $2.80 and $3.00, with an extension target near $3.10–$3.40 if buyers decisively clear the 21‑day SMA and the $2.60–$2.80 zone. For traders, the market remains range‑bound until a clear breach of the 21‑day SMA and the $2.60–$2.80 resistance zone confirms bullish continuation. This is author opinion and not investment advice.
Neutral
Both summaries describe consolidation rather than a decisive directional move. Price has recovered above $2.00 and sits near the 21‑day SMA, but daily and 4‑hour indicators conflict and Doji candles signal indecision. Key supports at $1.80 and $1.60 reduce immediate downside risk, while resistance at $2.40 (50‑day SMA), $2.60–$2.80 and $3.00 must be cleared to confirm bullish momentum. For short‑term traders, this suggests range trading opportunities (support buys and resistance sells) with low conviction breakout signals until a clear breach occurs. For longer‑term holders, lack of trend confirmation means monitoring moving averages and volume for a sustainable trend change. Therefore, the net expected price impact on XRP is neutral absent a breakout above the specified resistance or a breakdown below support.
