XRP price started a fresh increase from the $2.150 zone. The price is 
consolidating gains and might aim for a move above the $2.220 zone. XRP price 
started a fresh increase above the $2.150 zone. The price is now trading above 
$2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bullish trend line 
forming with support at $2.1320 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data 
source from Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it closes above the 
$2.220 resistance zone. XRP Price Eyes Upside Break XRP price remained 
supported and started a fresh increase above the $2.050 zone, like Bitcoin and 
Ethereum. The price recovered above the $2.080 and $2.120 resistance levels. 
The pair even cleared the $2.180 resistance and recently spiked above the 
$2.220 zone. A high was formed at $2.2294 and the price is now consolidating 
gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.910 
swing low to the $2.2294 high. The price is now trading above $2.180 and the 
100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a bullish trend line 
forming with support at $2.1320 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On 
the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.220 level. The first 
major resistance is near the $2.250 level. The next resistance is $2.320. A 
clear move above the $2.320 resistance might send the price toward the $2.40 
resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.480 resistance 
or even $2.50 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be 
$2.550. Downside Correction? If XRP fails to clear the $2.220 resistance zone, 
it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the 
$2.150 level. The next major support is near the $2.1320 level and the trend 
line. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.1320 level, the 
price might continue to decline toward the $2.050 support or the 50% Fib 
retracement level of the upward move from the $1.910 swing low to the $2.2294 
high. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone. Technical Indicators

XRP Price Trades Sideways — Bulls Preparing for Next Push?

Following a quick drop to nearly $98,000 over the weekend, Bitcoin (BTC) has 
recovered most of its recent losses and is now trading above $107,000 at the 
time of writing. Fresh on-chain data suggests that the short-term holder (STH) 
floor for BTC has been steadily rising toward the $100,000 level. Bitcoin STH 
Floor Approaching $100,000 According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by 
contributor unchained, Bitcoin’s STH Realized Price has been making its slow 
grind up toward the psychologically important $100,000 level. Notably, the 
analyst had earlier dubbed this metric as the “fault line” to watch. Related

uninitiated, the STH Realized Price represents the average price at which all 
Bitcoin held for less than 155 days was acquired. It acts as both a key 
psychological and technical support level. When the market price stays above 
it, STH are in profit and more confident, whereas if it falls below, fear and 
selling pressure often increase. Currently, the STH Realized Price hovers 
around $98,000. The analyst notes that each $500 rise in the STH Realized 
Price effectively resets the “new buyers’ comfort floor.” As this metric nears 
six figures, the mental stop-loss for newer investors also moves upward. The 
following chart illustrates two recent instances where BTC bounced sharply 
after touching the blue STH Realized Price line. This price action suggests a 
bullish structure, where selling pressure diminishes as soon as BTC revisits 
its average cost basis. Meanwhile, the premium &#8211; the difference between BTC’s 
spot price and STH Realized Price &#8211; currently hovers around 7.2%. A shrinking 
premium, typically under 10%, has historically signalled reduced market froth 
and often preceded the next leg up once open interest began to rebuild. On the 
long-term side, the long-term holder (LTH) Realized Price remains largely 
unchanged at $32,000, roughly one-third of the STH Realized Price. The analyst 
observes that these long-term coins are likely held in cold storage, 
indicating “strong hands” with little incentive to sell. They concluded: The 
blue line is climbing relentlessly; as long as BTC lives above it, the 
prevailing tide is still higher-lows, higher-highs. Lose it on a daily close, 
and we get our first real gut-check since April &#8211; otherwise the bull engine is 
merely cooling its cylinders. Experts Predict New High For BTC As BTC’s STH 
Realized Price continues to surge higher &#8211; resulting in a higher floor price 
for the digital asset &#8211; several crypto experts seem to agree that the 
cryptocurrency may soon reach a new all-time high (ATH) in the coming months.

Short Interest For instance, Bitcoin is forming a bullish inverse head and 
shoulders pattern on the three-day chart, eyeing a potential ATH of as high as 
$150,000. At press time, BTC trades at $107,711, up 2.1% in the past 24 hours.
