Following President Trump’s approval of a Bitcoin strategic reserve, speculation has surged regarding the potential inclusion of XRP as a reserve asset. This news has injected some optimism, keeping XRP’s price above the bearish range even as it trades within a narrow band. Traders are now watching closely, hoping that sustained institutional interest will stabilize and eventually boost the token.
Technical analysis shows that XRP has reached the neckline of a head and shoulders pattern—a formation indicating growing bearish pressure. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a bullish divergence, it still lags behind the descending trend line. This discrepancy raises concerns that XRP might break below support, with bears pushing the price toward the $2 level, as seen since December 2024.
Despite these challenges, XRP benefits from a generally bullish market sentiment. As the third-largest cryptocurrency, it has surged over 336% following Trump’s recent moves. With support firmly held above $2, many traders expect a consolidation phase followed by a bullish breakout above $2.5, potentially signaling a rebound in market confidence.
