- XRP’s breakout and RSI retest signal a possible climb past $0.6044 resistance.
- Ichimoku Cloud shows a bearish trend whereas a breakout could shift XRP to bullish.
- Volume and open interest drop, but long positions dominate in XRP derivatives.
XRP is flashing bullish signals after its recent breakout and retest of the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI), according to analyst Dark Defender.
This suggests the cryptocurrency could soon push decisively above the $0.6044 resistance level, potentially climbing towards its next target at $0.6649. A break above this key resistance could signal the end of XRP’s current consolidation phase.
Key Price Levels and Resistance Zones
Dark Defender’s analysis on the weekly chart reveals that XRP has recently tested significant support levels around $0.2875, indicating strong buying interest at those lows. The 23.60% Fibonacci retracement level at approximately $0.3917 serves as another crucial support zone for potential pullbacks.

On the upside, XRP faces resistance near the $0.5891 area, aligning with the 61.80% Fibonacci level at $0.6044. The 70.20% Fibonacci level at $0.6649 represents another key resistance point to watch.
Technical Indicators: Mixed Signals
The Ichimoku cloud currently reflects a bearish outlook for XRP. The cryptocurrency is trading either within or below the cloud, signaling ongoing market pressure. A breakout above the cloud could indicate a shift from a bearish to a bullish trend, suggesting a potential reversal in market sentiment.
The RSI analysis shows a significant weekly resistance line, with XRP facing repeated rejections. This indicates that bullish momentum remains weak until a confirmed breakout occurs. However, the RSI appears to have broken above this resistance and is currently retesting this level, often a precursor to further upward movement.
