Ripple’s XRP Price analysis: XRP/USD trims gains within a falling channel

  • Ripple is in the red, although buying entries are increasing.
  • Technical indicators are positive; bulls are gaining traction.

The majority of the assets in the market are swimming in the sea of red waters. Ripple’s XRP has not been spared with losses dominating the market since Tuesday. Prior to the drop, XRP had made considerable gains in the wake of the losses on Sunday last week. From the support at $0.3140, the asset tested $0.3240 before getting stuck in the confines of the falling channel.

The declines within the channel have had Ripple’s XRP trade lower lows and lower highs to the extent of retesting the support at $0.3140. Presently, XRP is attempting to make a reversal from the above-mentioned support. It is exchanging at $0.3161 and is likely to push the gains above the 50-day 15-minutes Simple Moving Average (SMA).

The technical indicators are currently sending bullish signals. For instance, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recovered above the 50% mark. The indicator has been able to stay above the oversold region since the drop last Sunday. On the other hand, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is making headway and could soon cross into the positive territory. Buying entries continue to increase and XRP could eventually correct above the channel resistance and the supply zones at $0.3250 and $0.3350.

Near Protocol slides below $5.00 after Near Intents $4M exploit
Near Protocol (NEAR) uptrend has been cut short, as the price slides below $5.00 on Thursday. The correction comes after an exploit on the network’s Near Intents services, which affected deposits and withdrawals across 11 crypto networks. NEAR is currently trading at $4.88, below the daily high of $5.54, while falling momentum indicators suggest that sellers are gaining the upper hand.
XRP loses momentum as ETF inflows stall
Ripple (XRP) shows signs of weakness as it slides below $1.50 on Thursday. The correction from September highs of $1.66 aligns with recent struggles faced by major assets Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). BTC currently trades above $83,000 while its upside is capped below $85,000. As for ETH, the smart contract token hovers between a narrow $2,600-$2,700 range.
Bitcoin beats September's curse: Is there enough demand for October?
Bitcoin (BTC) closed September with a 6.33% gain, breaking away from a month that has averaged losses since 2013. The buying that carried the rally, however, has thinned as October begins. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended a 9-day inflow streak on Wednesday, while long-term holders stepped up their selling. Meanwhile, a large wall of sell orders sits just above the current price.
Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH ranges as Citi raises target to $3,028
Ethereum (ETH) is trading above $2,600 on Thursday, while short-term supply caps upside at $2,700 ahead of a higher limit at $2,800. The smart contracts token mirrors broader crypto price action, with Bitcoin (BTC) struggling to regain momentum above $83,000. A breakout above the upper limit at $2,800 would encourage more traders to take on more risk, alleviating buyer exhaustion.
Bitcoin: BTC consolidates gains as ETF inflows hit highest level since October 2025
Bitcoin (BTC) price holds above $84,000 at the time of writing on Friday as it consolidates gains of over 4% so far this week. Institutional demand supports the bullish outlook, with spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recording a net inflow of $2.25 billion through Thursday, pointing to the highest weekly inflow since October 2025.
