Following the technicals of XRP

Feature Story

Technical Analysis

XRP is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies on the market. Right behind Bitcoin and Ethereum, Ripple has been popular due to its low cost and and practical use. Ripple has also been seen in the news with celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher when he donated money to a charity for Ellen’s birthday using XRP. One of XRP’s bigger downfalls has been its lawsuit with the SEC who sees them as a security and Ripple claims it’s XRP token is not. In the recent months we have seen the Trump Administration give high praise to cryptocurrency causing Bitcoin to make new all time highs. With every Bitcoin pump, normally follows an altcoin pump. That is what we are currently seeing.

Lets dive in. The first hourly chart above shows XRP over the last Month. You can see for a while XRP had a hard ceiling of about $2.34, up until about a week ago, when Bitcoin began pumping again.

Now check out the same hourly chart below, a little more zoomed in, looking at about the last week’s timeline. This is where technicals come into play. Today, at the time of writing this article (7/16/25) XRP is testing this local high of $3.03. It has been doing so by making higher highs and higher lows which is a bullish movement. If XRP can push past this than we would like to see a new high be created and another bullish signal formed to continue the movement upward.

If XRP fails to push past at this point, I’d like to continue see support at the $2.94 level. A lot of what is going to make or break XRP is how Bitcoin maintains it’s highs. if Bitcoin struggles to hold it’s new highs and fails to continue to move up, XRP could do that same. Keep in mind, XRP’s current move from $2.34 to $3.02 is about a 25% move up. Bitcoin’s move from $109,500 to $123,200 was only a 12.5% move up. XRP has already exceeded expectations.

What’s next? I want to see XRP keep testing this $3.02 level, but not for to long. Showing support here is a good way to make the next leg up. But if XRP continues to get rejected, people might be afraid to buy in at this high.

A Final Note

Crypto moves a lot on both technical analysis and fundamental analysis. The smaller coins tend to follow more technicals and the bigger ones more fundamentals, but everyone follows Bitcoin! Be careful, Crypto is extremely volatile. If you don’t know much about it than do not FOMO in. Chances are we may see a pull back like Bitcoin did.
