XRP Shows a Powerful Bullish RSI Divergence on the Daily Chart

• XRP forms a rare bullish RSI divergence, signaling fading selling pressure on daily charts.

• On-chain data confirms reduced selling as long term holders slow distribution.

• XRP must clear $1.96 to confirm a meaningful trend reversal.

Ripple XRP’s price action appears quiet on the surface, yet deeper technical signals tell a different story. Daily momentum indicators now hint at a potential shift few traders expected this late in the cycle. A rare bullish RSI divergence has formed on the daily chart, mirroring a setup last seen in 2022. That signal emerged near the bear market bottom before a powerful multi month rally followed. Price still looks weak, but selling pressure now shows visible cracks. As 2025 enters the final stretch, XRP approaches a decisive technical moment.

Sellers Are Losing Control as Momentum Quietly Shifts

XRP is flashing a bullish RSI divergence on the daily timeframe, a signal that rarely appears on this chart. The last occurrence formed during the 2022 bear market bottom near $0.28. After that signal, XRP price stabilized, reversed, and later surged aggressively to new all time highs. When such divergences appear, they often mark a shift in momentum well before price reacts. RSI measures the strength of buying and selling pressure.

Over recent weeks, XRP price printed a lower low while RSI formed a higher low. This mismatch signals weakening downside momentum. Sellers remained active, yet selling force continued to fade. Such conditions often develop near transition zones rather than during strong downtrends. Early signs of this shift appeared on the 12 hour chart, where trend changes often emerge first.

Between November 21 and December 18, XRP price continued drifting lower. During that same window, RSI refused to confirm the decline. This behavior often reflects exhaustion among sellers rather than renewed bearish conviction. On-chain data strengthens this interpretation. The XRP HODLer Net Position Change tracks long term holder behavior. On December 11, net selling peaked near 216.9 million XRP

One Supply Wall Still Controls the XRP Price Narrative

Despite fading sell pressure, a major structural barrier remains overhead. On-chain cost basis data highlights a dense supply zone between $1.96 and $1.97. Around 1.82 billion XRP were accumulated in this range. Many holders from that zone now sit near break even, increasing the likelihood of selling when price revisits those levels.

Price action confirms this resistance. XRP price has repeatedly failed to hold above $1.96, with rebounds stalling near the same area. Each attempt triggered renewed selling pressure. For a genuine trend shift to develop, price must post a clean daily close above $1.96. Without that confirmation, upside moves risk becoming another failed rally.

On the downside, $1.76 remains the key invalidation level. A break below that zone would suggest returning seller control and open room for deeper losses. For now, XRP remains trapped between weakening selling pressure and a stubborn supply wall. The next confirmed move will likely shape XRP price direction as 2025 approaches.
