- XRP has rebounded sharply from the $1.02-$1.05 support zone after a bullish RSI divergence played out.
- The token is now approaching a critical resistance area between $1.17 and $1.24 that could determine its next major move.
- Analysts say a breakout above the descending trendline would strengthen the case for a broader trend reversal.
XRP has staged an impressive recovery from its recent lows, giving bulls a reason to feel optimistic after weeks of persistent selling pressure.
The rally followed a textbook bullish divergence that formed near a major support zone, helping push the token back toward one of its most important resistance levels in weeks. While the broader market trend hasn’t fully shifted yet, momentum has clearly improved, and traders are now watching to see if XRP can build on that strength.
The next few trading sessions could prove crucial.
XRP Rebounds From Key Support Zone
On the daily chart, XRP remains inside a long-term descending channel, a structure that has kept the broader trend under pressure for months.
The asset is still trading below both its major moving averages and the channel’s upper resistance line, meaning the larger technical picture continues to lean bearish. Even so, recent price action has become much more encouraging.
One of the strongest bullish signals came from the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
As XRP slipped toward the $1.02 to $1.05 support region, the RSI began forming higher lows even while price continued making lower lows. That divergence suggested sellers were gradually losing momentum, often an early sign that a reversal could be developing.
Since then, XRP has bounced strongly and reclaimed the broader $1.02-$1.06 demand area.
The recovery has now carried price directly into the next major resistance zone between $1.17 and $1.24, an area that previously acted as support before turning into resistance following the recent breakdown.
Meanwhile, the RSI has climbed back above its midpoint, another indication that buying momentum is beginning to strengthen.
Resistance Zone Now Becomes the Main Test
Despite the rebound, XRP still has work to do before the broader outlook turns convincingly bullish.
The $1.17-$1.24 region represents a major technical hurdle. If buyers can reclaim this area and establish support above it, the market would begin showing early signs that a larger trend reversal may be taking shape rather than simply producing a short-lived bounce.
Until then, the long-term descending channel remains intact.
In other words, bulls have regained some control, but they haven’t won the battle just yet.
Four-Hour Chart Shows Momentum Building
The shorter-term four-hour chart paints an even clearer picture of XRP’s recent strength.
After spending several days consolidating inside the $1.02-$1.06 demand zone, buyers stepped in aggressively and triggered a sharp rally that carried the token straight toward a descending trendline that has capped every major rally since the middle of June.
XRP is now pressing directly against that trendline while approaching the lower edge of a broader resistance zone between $1.21 and $1.29.
This is where things become especially interesting.
A confirmed breakout above the descending trendline would likely shift the short-term market structure in favor of the bulls after weeks of lower highs and lower lows. It would also increase the chances of XRP making a run toward the upper portion of the resistance range.
Pullback Still Remains a Possibility
Of course, resistance levels exist for a reason.
If XRP fails to break through the descending trendline, sellers could regain temporary control and force a pullback toward the recently reclaimed support area.
That scenario wouldn’t necessarily invalidate the recovery.
As long as XRP continues holding above the $1.02-$1.06 support zone, the current rebound structure would remain intact, leaving the door open for another breakout attempt later.
Bulls Have Momentum, But Confirmation Is Still Needed
For now, short-term momentum appears to favor buyers.
The successful defense of support, improving RSI readings, and strong rebound all suggest bearish pressure has weakened considerably compared with previous weeks.
Still, XRP is now approaching one of its biggest technical obstacles in recent months. Whether buyers can finally break above the descending trendline and reclaim the $1.17-$1.24 resistance area may determine whether this rally develops into a true trend reversal—or simply ends up being another relief bounce inside a broader downtrend.
