Even with the recent consolidation, the token remains far below previous highs and is currently about 62% below its July 2025 all-time high of $3.65.<\/p>\n<p>Market activity has picked up. 24-hour trading volume reached $2.55 billion, marking a 67.5% increase from the previous day.<\/p>\n<p>Derivatives activity has also grown. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/XRP\/futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Data<\/a> from CoinGlass shows trading volume rising 63% to $3.54 billion, while open interest climbed 2.5% to $2.33 billion.

In simple terms, traders are using market orders to sell more often than to buy.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>XRP has been trading close to $1.34 during this time, with little upward momentum. When the ratio dips below 1, market orders are not pushing the price higher.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are still buyers in the market, the majority seem to be making limit orders instead of aggressive market buys. As a result, buyers supply liquidity and sellers remove it through market orders.<\/p>\n<p>As long as this imbalance continues, selling pressure may persist. The data suggests that the current market structure is still leaning toward the sell side.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XRP price technical analysis<\/h2>\n<p>A short-term support area has formed between $1.30 and $1.33 on the daily chart. Price has stabilized around this zone several times, and recent candles show sideways movement just above it, which suggests buyers are defending the level.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XRP daily chart. Credit: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the same time, XRP is trading below the Bollinger Bands mid-line, which is in line with the 20-day moving average. When price trades under this level, the short-term trend is usually considered bearish.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in February, XRP touched the lower Bollinger Band before bouncing higher. Since that drop, volatility has slowly decreased and price has moved sideways.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum is still weak. The relative strength index sits around 42\u201343, which is still below the neutral 50 level. The indicator has recovered from near-oversold levels seen earlier in February, but buying momentum is still limited.<\/p>\n<p>The larger structure also shows pressure. Since early January, the chart has produced a series of lower highs, meaning the wider downtrend has not yet changed. The current sideways movement appears to be a pause within that trend.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bollinger Bands are tightening, which often comes before a stronger price move. If XRP continues to hold above $1.30, buyers may try to push the price toward the $1.38\u2013$1.40 area, where the Bollinger mid-line sits.<\/p>\n<p>A move above that zone, together with RSI approaching 50, would improve the short-term outlook. However, if $1.30 support breaks, XRP could slide toward $1.20. Continued weakness in RSI below the neutral level would keep the bearish structure in place for now.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP price is holding the $1.30 support level, but order flow data shows sellers are still dominating market activity, keeping short-term upside limited.
