XRP has printed a widely followed golden cross on the daily chart, with the 50-day moving average pushing through the 200-day near the $1.37 level. However, the signal is arriving after a significant market composition shift and may be too late to confirm fresh upside.
XRP was in a clear downtrend from May to mid-August, falling from above $1.50 to around $1.00 beneath a declining 200-day average. A massive, volume-backed rally in August broke that trend, sending price through all major moving averages and turning the 200-day from resistance into support. By September, XRP retested the $1.28–$1.30 zone before climbing to a local high near $1.66.
Since then, the picture has weakened. XRP printed lower highs at $1.66, $1.63, and $1.58 after failing to hold above $1.60, and the price has dropped back to about $1.50. Rebound volume is fading compared with the August surge, while the RSI has cooled from overbought territory to roughly 58. Immediate support sits at the rising short-term average around $1.44, with the key convergence zone at $1.37. A close below that would pressure the golden cross and open a move toward $1.30. Bulls would need to reclaim $1.60 and then break resistance between $1.66 and $1.70 to regain upside momentum. The golden cross indicates a longer-term shift from bearish to bullish, but the short-term path of least resistance remains downward until XRP stops making lower highs.
