RSI Divergence Offers Faint Hope. There's one thing worth watching on the USDT chart, and it's not the price itself.

XRP is in rough shape. The token can't hold ground against either USDT or BTC right now, and the chart isn't doing sellers any favors — or buyers, for that matter.

On the daily USDT pair, XRP has been stuck inside a descending channel for weeks. Price sits below both the 100-day and the 200-day moving averages, and both of those averages…

XRP lost the $1.25 level back in early June. Since then, it's been leaning on the $1 zone for support. That's the line in the sand.

There's one thing worth watching on the USDT chart, and it's not the price itself. The RSI is showing higher lows even as price keeps making lower lows near that $1 support zone.

Right now, the pair is testing support around 1,700 sats. That's the consolidation floor — the level that's been keeping the current range intact.

For buyers to get back in control on the BTC pair, they'd need to push price back above 1,850 sats.

That's been the pattern. Rallies fade. Resistance holds. The downtrend continues.

14 / 15

It's hard to say when that changes. The 1,700 sats level is critical right now, and the market is sitting right on top of it.
