Technical Analysis<\/p>\n
XRP\u2019s session reflected a classic distribution-driven decline followed by early-stage reversal signals. Whale selling created sustained downward pressure as major holders offloaded nearly 200M tokens, overwhelming the $1.96 resistance band and pushing XRP into a descending channel that persisted through most of the session.<\/p>\n
Support at $1.90\u2013$1.91 emerged as the key battleground. The psychological level attracted aggressive buying after a capitulation event at $1.895, where institutional inflows reversed the intraday trend. Momentum indicators\u2014including RSI and short-term stochastic\u2014flashed deep oversold conditions, creating the first bullish divergence since last week\u2019s major breakdown.<\/p>\n
The strong 2.76M-volume spike during the bounce suggests early accumulation behavior, contradicting the prior multi-hour decline in participation. Still, the macro structure remains fragile. Bulls must force a clean break above $1.96 to invalidate the descending channel and attempt a trend reversal. Failure to defend $1.90 would expose the chart to a fast extension toward $1.82, then $1.73.<\/p>\n
What Traders Should Watch<\/p>\n
\u2022 $1.90 remains the line in the sand. A close below opens the path toward October\u2019s deep liquidity pockets
\u2022 Reclaiming $1.96 is essential to neutralize the descending channel and restore short-term bullish momentum
\u2022 ETF flows\u2014especially Bitwise\u2019s AUM trajectory\u2014may provide upside catalysts if volume accelerates
\u2022 Divergences and oversold signals favor near-term bounce attempts, but whale distribution remains the dominant risk
