Resistance

XRP’s move away from $0.98 has given investors reason to consider whether the cryptocurrency has already established a long-term bottom.
However, crypto analyst ChartNerd says the current structure does not yet provide enough confirmation to make that conclusion. His latest analysis on X points to several historical patterns that could keep a deeper retracement in play unless XRP breaks key <a href="https://timestabloid.com/analyst-xrp-will-teleport-to-new-aths-if-it-breaks-these-3-resistance-levels/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">resistance levels</a>.

ChartNerd highlighted the monthly 20 EMA as one of the most important levels for XRP at the current stage of the market. In his post on X, he noted that XRP recently completed its first monthly 20 EMA retest since losing the moving average in January 2026.
According to the analyst, XRP has repeatedly rallied back toward the monthly 20 EMA after losing it during previous major market downturns. These recoveries did not always mark the beginning of a sustained recovery.
ChartNerd examined XRP’s price history from 2015 onward and pointed to several examples. Following the 2013 peak, XRP lost the monthly 20 EMA before rallying approximately 100% back toward the indicator. The subsequent rejection was followed by a decline of roughly 63% to 65%.
He also referenced the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/market-strategist-shares-xrp-update-says-its-happening-again/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2018 market cycle</a>. After XRP lost the monthly 20 EMA, it rallied 211% into the moving average before eventually declining by around 63% to 70%. The analyst noted that XRP later dropped deeper before reaching its eventual 2020 low.
<h2 id="strong-the-2021-cycle-provides-another-reference-strong">The 2021 Cycle Provides Another Reference</h2>
ChartNerd also examined XRP’s behavior following the 2021 market peak. After forming lower highs and losing the monthly 20 EMA, XRP rallied roughly 74% toward the indicator before experiencing another major decline.
He stressed that these historical examples do not guarantee the same outcome in the current cycle. However, he believes the repeated interaction between XRP and the monthly 20 EMA is relevant information that investors should consider.
In the current cycle, ChartNerd said XRP has already recorded a substantial rally from the $0.98 area. He estimated the recovery at approximately 73% of the monthly 20 EMA during August. However, XRP failed to close above the indicator.
The analyst also identified the weekly 50 EMA as another major resistance level. He placed the two indicators within the $1.53 to $1.55 region, making that area particularly important for determining <a href="https://timestabloid.com/expert-says-big-xrp-move-incoming-we-are-moments-away/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP’s next direction.</a>
<h2 id="strong-a-deeper-retracement-remains-possible-strong">A Deeper Retracement Remains Possible</h2>
ChartNerd said XRP could return toward $1 if it continues to fail at the major moving averages. He also outlined the possibility of another decline toward his previously identified area of interest, which could represent a deeper retracement from the recent high.

At the same time, he emphasized that he does not expect a repeat of XRP’s deepest historical declines. Instead, he views <a href="https://timestabloid.com/black-swan-capitalist-xrp-is-doing-what-bitcoin-did-in-prior-cycles/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">previous market cycles </a>as reference points for assessing current risk.
His central message remains that investors should focus on confirmation rather than attempting to identify the exact bottom. A sustained move above the weekly 50 EMA and monthly 20 EMA would provide stronger evidence that the $0.98 level could represent the cycle low.
Until XRP clears the $1.50 to $2 range with stronger confirmation, ChartNerd believes a double bottom or another sweep below the current low remains possible.
