On the 1-hour chart, XRP is confined to a compact band between $3.02 and $3.075 following a mild pullback from the $3.075 local high, with price now stabilizing. The structure remains constructive, with higher lows intact even as a minor bearish divergence develops, inferred from price flattening. Tactical parameters around $3.02 to $3.04 stand for entries and $3.08 to $3.10 for near-term exits, consistent with a range-bound intraday bias.

Bull Verdict:

If XRP confirms above $3.08 and secures a daily close above $3.10, the current trend’s framework points to a measured objective near $3.20, aided by a positive moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) histogram and broadly bullish moving averages.

Bear Verdict:

If XRP fails to clear $3.10 and then loses $3.00/$2.98, the trend highlights $2.80 to $2.70 as the next key support zone, with oscillators mixed—Momentum negative and average directional index neutral—suggesting limited trend strength.
