XRP is still trading below its downtrend line and 8-week and 21-week moving averages, putting the overall weekly structure in jeopardy. Buyers exert authority because price cannot recapture those moving averages and this is an indication of ineffective medium-term momentum. The price is testing the $1.95 support area, and this support area conforms to the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement as well as the 89-week EMA. This area has been a reliable source of support throughout the year and has removed selling pressure several times, causing bounces. This week, XRP attempts to fall below this level and the weekly close at hand is especially noteworthy.
Address by weekly closing
Sellers can increase the bearish move faster in case XRP ends the week with a price below 1.95. In that case, the price could be having a downward movement towards the past demand price ranges, which is around the price of 1.60 to 1.25. XRP could negate the breakout attempt to the downside should buyers step in and reclaim $1.95 before the weekly close. A good bounce may provide some respite towards the $2.30 direction, and longer-term bounce targets are around 2.70 in case the trend gains momentum.
Momentum Indicators Show Indecision
On the weekly chart, the RSI is neutral with the RSI around 50. This reading demonstrates the market’s indecision and makes the validity of the current support test even more important. The bulls and bears have not yet gained a decisive advantage. As of 10.30 am on December 24, 2025, XRP is trading around 1.86, below the 1.95 mark in the broader year-end selling action. It creates additional emphasis on whether buyers could quickly recover lost positions. Traders now look to the close of the weekly candle as a key indicator of XRP’s next significant move. An established breakout would reinforce the bearish continuation and a recovery above the support would restart the bullish anticipations.
