Attn traders: Is it time to take profits on XRP?

Updated: Jul 25, 2024

Published: Nov 2, 2023

XRP has had a nice move higher, but that move is potentially reaching a local top. With the current state of the market, XRP's potential appears promising, but the path forward remains uncertain. So, how do we play XRP from here on?

TLDR

XRP is now facing a formidable challenge at the $0.62 horizontal resistance.
XRP is overbought on the daily chart, but a bearish divergence is possible.
Positive funding rates and high open interest suggest a somewhat unhealthy market.
Our confidence in XRP is low. So, we are cautioning against fresh Long/Buy positions at the current price point.

Technical analysis

XRP did fantastically to reclaim the $0.54 horizontal resistance and flip it into support. This enabled XRP to move higher and then reclaim its macro uptrend. XRP, however, is now at a horizontal resistance of $0.62, which could act as a strong resistance area. If XRP can get above it (although doubtful), its target to the upside would be $0.69.

If XRP does have a more meaningful pullback, we would expect the $0.54 horizontal level to hold as new support.

RSI and funding rates

XRP is now well into overbought territory on the daily timeframe. However, we have seen other coins do this and then move higher to create a bearish divergence. This suggests that XRP can see a pullback in the medium term, but it could continue higher in the short term.

Regarding funding rates, it’s very positive, and the open interest is also very high. This indicates a somewhat unhealthy market, and we wouldn’t look to take out fresh longs/buys on this.

Cryptonary’s take

Our conviction on XRP isn’t super high. Enough signals tell us not to ape into fresh longs/buys at the current price point. The smarter move will be getting ready to take profit if XRP does have another leg higher.
