XRP/Tether (XRPUSDT) opened at $2.273 at 12:00 ET-1 and traded between $2.2392 and $2.3337 over the past 24 hours, closing at $2.3262 as of 12:00 ET today. Total volume amounted to 21,736,325.7 units, while notional turnover was approximately $49,388,545.21. Price action displayed a dynamic 24-hour cycle, with bearish pressure evident in the early hours but a strong reversal developing in the late morning and afternoon.

The 15-minute chart shows a key support level forming at $2.260–2.265, which was tested and bounced from in the early hours of the morning. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged around 03:30 ET, followed by a bearish hanging man at 04:30 ET that failed to confirm a new downtrend. The price eventually broke out of a consolidation range around $2.275 in the late morning, with a strong 15-minute bar at 07:30 ET propelling XRPUSDT to a high of $2.29. A bullish flag pattern formed in the 11:00–12:00 ET window, suggesting continuation of the rally.

Moving averages on the 15-minute chart indicate that XRPUSDT is currently above both its 20-period and 50-period SMAs, supporting a bullish bias. On the daily chart, the 50-period SMA is at $2.28, and the 200-period SMA at $2.27, both of which appear to be supportive of the current rally. The price is currently above its 50-day SMA, suggesting short-term bullish momentum.

MACD is positive and rising, indicating strengthening momentum. RSI has moved from neutral to overbought territory, reaching 68–70, suggesting potential exhaustion of the rally but not yet a sell signal. Bollinger Bands are wide, and XRPUSDT has closed near the upper band in the last few hours, indicating heightened volatility and a strong move.

Volume spiked significantly around 03:30 ET during the bearish breakdown attempt, but price failed to hold below $2.265, suggesting strong buying interest. The highest notional turnover occurred around 14:30 ET when XRPUSDT broke above $2.31, reaching a high of $2.3337. A Fibonacci retracement of the earlier morning drop placed a key 61.8% level at $2.282–2.285, which was decisively taken out by midday.

The price has shown a clear divergence between bearish volume spikes and bullish price resilience, particularly in the early hours. This suggests that while there is selling pressure, buyers are stepping in to defend key levels. The recent 61.8% Fibonacci retracement has acted as a dynamic support/resistance zone, and its breakout in the afternoon suggests a new short-term bullish trend.

XRPUSDT may continue to test its 20-period SMA at $2.275–2.28 in the next 24 hours, and a break above $2.33 could bring in more aggressive momentum traders. However, a pullback to test the $2.28–2.29 level could see renewed buying, as this is a key cluster of support. Traders should monitor for any break below $2.260 as a potential bearish confirmation.

The MACD histogram has shown a positive expansion, indicating increasing bullish momentum, while RSI remains in overbought territory. This combination suggests that while the move is strong, a pullback or consolidation could be expected in the near term. The 20-period SMA appears to be acting as dynamic support, and the 50-period SMA as dynamic resistance. A move above $2.33 would likely see a test of $2.35, but a rejection here could trigger a retest of key Fibonacci levels.

Backtest Hypothesis
The backtest attempt encountered an issue due to a discrepancy in the ticker symbol. While the data provided is for “XRPUSDT,” the backtest engine referenced “XRPUSD.UDC,” which appears to be an incorrect or unavailable identifier. This mismatch caused the system to fail in fetching price data. To proceed, it is recommended to either confirm that the correct symbol is “XRPUSDT” and re-fetch the data from a valid source (e.g., Binance or CCAGG) or provide the exact ticker symbol used in the data feed. Once resolved, a backtest using RSI and MACD-based signals can be recalibrated and executed. For now, the technical analysis above remains valid based on the available OHLCV data.
