Ripple Price Analysis: XRP Looks Weak Against USD and Even Worse vs BTC

XRP continues to bleed out quietly while market attention stays locked on BTC  and ETH. Despite brief relief bounces, the overall structure remains bearish across the board. Both the USDT and BTC pairs are showing weakness, with no clear signs of a recovery, and the buyers have lost control of key levels.

The USDT Pair

XRPUSDT is still trapped in a steep descending channel. The latest drop pushed the price below $1.90, and it’s now approaching the lower boundary of the channel. The structure shows a clear series of lower highs and lower lows, with no bullish divergence on RSI yet. Therefore, momentum remains weak.

The 100-day and 200-day moving averages are both sloping downward and are well above the current price, located around the $2.50 mark. This confirms a sustained downtrend. Buyers need to defend the $1.75–$1.80 support zone. Otherwise, the next level to watch is around $1.50. On the other hand, until the price reclaims $2.20 and breaks above the channel, any bounce is just another lower high.

The BTC Pair

The BTC pair looks even worse. After forming a rising wedge in October and November, XRPBTC broke down hard last week and is now trading at 2,170 sats back below the 100 and 200-day moving averages, both located around the 2,400 sats level.

The RSI is also sliding toward oversold territory, but still no divergence or reversal signals. If the pair continues this drop, the next major demand zone is around 2,000 sats. That is where XRP previously bottomed earlier this year. So, unless the buyers reclaim the 2,400 sats level soon, the asset is likely to underperform BTC into year-end.
