A weekly close above $1.20 would weaken the bearish case. Failure to reclaim it may keep sellers active during future rallies.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Weekly death cross keeps traders cautious<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A death cross happens when a shorter moving average falls below a longer moving average. In this case, the focus is on the weekly 20 EMA and the 200-week SMA.<\/p>\n<p>The signal does not confirm an instant drop by itself. It shows that medium-term momentum has weakened against the long-term trend. Traders often watch how price reacts after the cross appears.<\/p>\n<p>ChartNerd said \u201cthe 200-week SMA ($1.20) now has the potential to flip from a historical support floor into a supply ceiling.\u201d The analyst added that XRP must reclaim that area to reject the bearish setup.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst also pointed to two past examples. In 2022, XRP formed a bottom shortly after a similar signal. In the 2018 to 2020 bear market, the final low came months later after repeated failures near the 200-week SMA.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Daily chart shows short-term recovery<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The XRP\/USDT daily chart still shows a broader downtrend, with lower highs from May into late June. The token recently bounced from the lower Bollinger Band near $1 and moved back above the middle band.<\/p>\n<p>The latest candle is red near $1.1325, showing a pullback after the rebound. Price remains between the middle Bollinger Band near $1.1064 and the upper band near $1.2094.<\/p>\n<p>Holding above $1.1064 keeps the short-term recovery alive. A drop below that level would weaken the bounce and bring the $1.00 to $1.03 area back into focus.<\/p>\n<p>The MACD has improved, with the MACD line above the signal line and a positive histogram. Still, both lines remain below zero. That means momentum is recovering, but the wider trend has not fully turned.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: TradingView<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Crypto.news data keeps $1.20 in focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Crypto.news reported on July 3 that XRP climbed to a three-day high after Ripple\u2019s European expansion and a fresh Supertrend buy signal. The report said XRP moved from around $1.02 on July 1 to an intraday high near $1.11.<\/p>\n<p>A separate crypto.news analysis said XRP needed to reclaim $1.20 to $1.25 to support a stronger rebound. It also placed $1.10 as a key support level and warned that wider weakness could bring $0.90 and $0.80 back into view.<\/p>\n<p>The same report said a monthly close above $1.40 would help confirm a stronger double-bottom case. Until then, XRP remains in a cautious zone, even after the recent rebound.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, traders are watching three levels. XRP must hold $1.10 to protect the short-term bounce, reclaim $1.20 to weaken the death cross warning, and clear $1.40 to improve the larger structure.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP traded near $1.13 on July 5, according to crypto.news market data.
