XRP has staged a notable recovery from its August lows against USDT, breaking above a descending channel and reclaiming key moving-average levels around $1.15 and $1.30. The token surged from approximately $1.00 to a local high near $1.70 before retracing, and is currently trading around $1.41.
The immediate resistance sits between $1.45 and $1.55, a zone that previously acted as a major supply area. A sustained daily close above $1.55 could open the way toward the $1.85–$1.90 resistance zone. On the downside, the 100-day and 200-day moving averages provide dynamic support levels. The Relative Strength Index surged above 75 during the breakout but has since pulled back toward the mid-70s, reflecting some momentum cooling.
The XRP/BTC pair presents a different picture. After breaking above a descending channel, the pair briefly reached above 2,000 satoshis from roughly 1,500 sats but has since retraced substantially. Immediate resistance remains around 2,000 sats, where horizontal supply and the upper boundary of the descending channel converge. A sustained breakout would suggest XRP is beginning to outperform Bitcoin structurally.
Currently, the pair has fallen below its 200-day moving average, located just above 1,800 sats. Stability around 1,700 sats and above the 100-day moving average could allow another attempt at resistance, while breaking below this region would expose deeper fair-value-gap areas.
