XRP is approaching a key technical test, with market analyst Diana identifying $1.08 as the support level that could determine the token’s next major move.
XRP was trading at $1.10, according to CoinCodex, and has so far remained above that critical level as buyers continue to absorb selling pressure.
The short-term technical picture remains fragile despite that defense. On the four-hour chart, XRP is still trading below a cluster of important moving averages between $1.11 and $1.12, indicating that sellers remain in control. The token has also moved below its previous triangle support, weakening the market structure and increasing the need for buyers to reclaim higher levels quickly.
Momentum indicators are also leaning toward the bearish side. The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, is near 39, below its signal line around 45. That reading suggests buying momentum remains weak despite the recent bounce. While the rebound has slowed the decline, it has not yet confirmed a meaningful trend reversal. Traders often use RSI and moving averages together to judge whether a rebound is gaining enough participation to challenge nearby resistance, though such indicators do not guarantee direction.
According to Diana, XRP now faces two possible paths. If buyers successfully defend $1.08 and reclaim the $1.11 to $1.12 resistance zone, momentum could strengthen and open a move toward $1.145, followed by $1.20.
A sustained breakout above those levels would shift attention to the major resistance area between $1.29 and $1.30, which could mark the beginning of a broader recovery.
However, a loss of $1.08 could lead to a sharper selloff. Diana expects a breakdown to send XRP toward $0.91, with stronger macro support near $0.86. That would represent a decline of roughly 21% from current prices, making $1.08 the main support level traders are monitoring.
The technical uncertainty contrasts with XRP’s improving fundamental backdrop. The asset has benefited from regulatory progress, growing institutional adoption, continued expansion of the Ripple ecosystem, and more than $1 billion in spot XRP ETF inflows. Even so, XRP remains well below its 2025 highs, leaving investors questioning why those developments have not yet produced a sustained rally. In crypto markets, positive ecosystem or regulatory developments can coexist with weak short-term charts when broader liquidity conditions, risk appetite, or technical positioning remain unfavorable.
Longer term, optimism among some analysts remains in place. A veteran market analyst recently suggested XRP’s macro breakout retest could eventually support a rally toward $6.40, with an ambitious $30 target still possible if broader market conditions remain favorable.
For now, market attention remains focused on $1.08. Whether buyers hold that level or sellers force a break below it is likely to shape XRP’s next major move, while any recovery attempt would first need to overcome the nearby moving-average resistance that has capped the short-term rebound.
