24-Hour Summary

At 12:00 ET on October 13, 2025, XRP/Tether (XRPUSDT) opened at $2.4792, surged to a 24-hour high of $2.6322, dipped to a low of $2.4681, and closed at $2.5873.

Structure & Moving Averages

The 15-minute chart showed XRPUSDT consolidating around key support levels of $2.468–$2.488 before breaking out decisively. A strong bullish engulfing pattern formed at the 17:45 ET candle, confirming a reversal from early bearish pressure. The 20-period MA crossed above the 50-period MA (golden cross) around the 02:15 ET candle, reinforcing the bullish bias. On the daily chart, the 50- and 200-day MAs remain in a bullish alignment, with price trading above both as of the most recent close.

MACD, RSI, and Momentum

The MACD showed positive divergence in the last 6 hours, with the line rising while the histogram expanded, indicating strengthening bullish momentum. The RSI hit an overbought level above 65 at the peak of the breakout, suggesting a potential pullback could follow. However, as long as RSI remains above 50, the bias remains cautiously bullish. A bearish divergence may appear if price corrects without a corresponding drop in RSI.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility

Bollinger Bands expanded significantly in the 24-hour window, reflecting heightened volatility as XRPUSDT broke out of a consolidation phase. Price traded near the upper band during the 07:30–09:00 ET window, a sign of strong momentum. The 15-minute chart showed a volatility contraction before the 16:00 ET breakout candle, a potential precursor to a meaningful price move. If volatility continues to expand, XRP could test the upper resistance of the current channel.

Volume and Turnover

Volume and turnover spiked during the key bullish breakout at the 07:15–09:30 ET window, confirming the strength of the upward thrust. Notable volume surges were observed around $2.55–$2.63, particularly at the 07:15, 09:30, and 14:30 ET candles. Price and volume action remained in alignment, reducing the likelihood of a false breakout. However, divergence between price and volume may appear in the next 24 hours if the move fails to sustain above $2.60.

Fibonacci Retracements and Key Levels

Applying Fibonacci retracements to the key 15-minute swing from $2.468 to $2.632, XRPUSDT is currently testing the 61.8% retracement level at $2.57. A break above $2.60 would confirm a continuation toward the 78.6% level at $2.61. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the broader downtrend from $2.70 to $2.468 sits at $2.58, which aligns with current support/resistance levels. A close below $2.55 would bring the 38.2% retracement level into focus as a potential short-term floor.

Backtest Hypothesis

The RSI-Oversold 3-Day strategy on XRPUSDT has historically shown a modest 7.5% cumulative gain since 2022, but with a maximum drawdown exceeding 55%, suggesting high volatility and risk. While the strategy captured some of XRP’s recovery phases, the high drawdowns and poor Sharpe ratio point to a need for tighter risk management. Incorporating tighter stops or refining entry rules—such as using a confluence of RSI and volume spikes—could improve the strategy’s risk-adjusted returns. The recent overbought RSI and strong volume make XRPUSDT a candidate for further testing of the strategy under improved conditions.
