Technical Perspective: Integration within the municipal phase
The XRP/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as XRP has lost 2.5% of its value in the last 24 hours. XRP is trading at $1.43 and maintains a neutral to slightly constructive bias.
It is trading above the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $1.42, below the 100-day EMA at $1.49 and below the 200-day EMA at $1.70. This construct suggests continuous integration within the broader revision phase.
If the bears maintain control, we will see immediate support at the 50-day EMA near $1.42, followed by an upward trend line near $1.39, providing a stronger bottom. A daily close below $1.39 could result in larger losses.
However, if the bulls push harder, they will face initial resistance at $1.49 at the 100-day EMA. A sustained break above this level would open the way towards the 200-day EMA near $1.70, where it would challenge broader bearish pressure.
Momentum indicators suggest that the bears are slowly regaining control. The relative strength index (RSI) is 51 and the MACD histogram is slightly positive, indicating limited directional confidence rather than strong impulsive movement.
XRP’s price action suggests continued consolidation within the correction phase as both buyers and sellers compete to control the critical EMA level.
