Key Highlights
- XRP maintains trading range between $1.32 and $1.35 with technical signals suggesting potential cycle low
- Weekly RSI bounced from oversold reading of 29 on March 2, currently sitting at 34
- MACD indicator reached record lows and appears positioned for a bullish crossover
- Approximately 500 million XRP tokens were purchased near the $1.30 price point, establishing strong support
- A breakdown below $1.27–$1.30 could trigger further decline to $1.15–$1.12, with bearish scenario targeting $0.80
After eight months of sustained downward pressure, XRP appears to be exhibiting several technical patterns that historically have indicated major market bottoms for the cryptocurrency.
Currently hovering between $1.32 and $1.35, market participants are intensely monitoring whether bullish forces can successfully defend the critical $1.30 threshold.
On March 2, the weekly Relative Strength Index plummeted to 29, firmly in oversold territory. Since then, it has rebounded to 34. Historical analysis shows that when XRP’s RSI reaches such depressed levels, significant price rebounds have typically followed.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence has descended to unprecedented depths for XRP. This indicator is now approaching a bullish crossover pattern, a technical signal that has consistently identified major bottom formations in previous cycles.
Historical data reveals that when these two conditions — deeply oversold RSI combined with a MACD bullish crossover — have coincided in the past, XRP has experienced rallies ranging from 74% to 230%. These patterns emerged in 2022 and reappeared during mid-2024.
Critical $1.30 Support Zone in Focus
Market analyst Egrag Crypto characterized the $1.30 region as “a very sensitive level” that will determine “the market chooses direction.” According to his analysis, maintaining this zone could facilitate gradual upward momentum, while failure would likely result in a retest of $1.15.
#XRP – This Is Where It Decides ⚖️:
We’re sitting at a very sensitive level… this is where the market chooses direction.
🔼If this zone holds, we grind higher.
🔽If it breaks, we likely revisit deeper support around $1.15.🟡Historical behavior matters:

Blockchain analytics from Glassnode indicate that approximately 500 million XRP tokens were purchased around the $1.30 mark. This substantial accumulation at a specific price point establishes a robust support foundation backed by significant buyer interest.
Should $1.30 fail to hold, technical analysts identify the next defensive zone at $1.15 to $1.12, coinciding with the 200-week simple moving average. Breaking through this level would activate the bear flag projection toward $0.80.
Crypto analyst Arthur highlighted on X that the weekly RSI for XRP had reached one of its most depressed readings in recent years, questioning whether this chart pattern was “flashing a long-term bottom signal.” Fellow analyst Cryptoinsightuk emphasized that this represents only the second instance of XRP registering oversold RSI conditions, with the previous occurrence in July 2022 — which precisely marked the absolute bottom.
XRP/BTC Pair Shows Stabilization
The XRP/Bitcoin trading pair is also demonstrating signs of stabilization near the lower boundary of an extended consolidation pattern. The previous instance when XRP bottomed against Bitcoin at comparable levels occurred in June 2025, subsequently triggering a 56% surge in the XRP/BTC ratio alongside a 92% rally in XRP’s dollar price to $3.66.

Blockchain metrics reveal accelerating whale accumulation patterns. Data shared by analyst Ali Charts indicates that large holders acquired 190 million XRP tokens during the past week alone. Simultaneously, exchange outflows have remained elevated, a behavioral pattern generally associated with long-term holding strategies rather than short-term trading activity.
For bulls to validate a trend reversal, XRP must reclaim territory above the $1.61 range high, breaking through recent resistance.
