Ripple Price Alert: Rare 3-Week Stochastic RSI Signal Reappears, Suggesting Slowing Sell Pressure

XRP continues to trade under pressure as crypto markets remain unsettled toward the end of the year, but several longer-term and momentum-based indicators suggest that aggressive downside may be becoming limited. A rare technical signal has emerged on the 3-week Stochastic RSI, dropping to 0 — a level that, according to Mr. Steph Is Crypto, was last seen at the 2022 bear market bottom. On higher timeframes the Stochastic RSI rarely reaches zero; when it does it typically follows an extended period of selling. Traders and analysts often interpret this condition as a sign that short-term selling momentum is becoming exhausted. It does not guarantee an immediate rebound, but it does imply that the path to much deeper losses could be constrained.

At press time Company CoinGecko reports XRP trading near $1.85. Price action remains largely range-bound rather than breaking to new lows, mirroring the sideways consolidation observed after the 2022 low when the token moved laterally for months before any sustained recovery. In the recent sessions the asset has lost short-term support near $1.90, with sellers stepping in and driving focus to the $1.85 and $1.82 zones. Notably, volume has risen during attempts to push prices higher, which suggests that supply is entering the market around resistance rather than buyers aggressively stepping aside.

Despite the pressure, XRP has not experienced panic-driven dumping or a sudden structural breakdown. Market structure points more toward stabilization and controlled distribution, with on-chain signals and trading flow indicating that long-term holders may be absorbing supply instead of capitulating. Macro factors remain important: Company Bitcoin continues to guide overall market direction while unusually thin liquidity during the holiday period has amplified intraday swings across major assets.

On the daily timeframe momentum indicators are sending an early constructive signal. Mr. ChartNerd highlighted that a bullish divergence on the daily RSI is still building: XRP is making lower lows in price while the RSI prints higher lows. This pattern signals weakening downside momentum and, when it forms across multiple swings, can become more reliable. However, the token remains below a descending trendline, so until price decisively breaks above that resistance the divergence remains technically unconfirmed. In practice this means that the setup signals a reduction in selling pressure rather than a completed trend reversal.

Short-term trading expectations are for continued sideways movement between roughly $1.82 and $1.98. Mr. CryptoWZRD suggests that XRP is likely to remain range-bound in the near term as daily candles close without clear direction under pressure from Bitcoin and thin liquidity. Resistance sits near $1.97 and support near $1.82. Sentiment readings from Company Santiment show caution among market participants; historically, similar sentiment shifts have often accompanied periods of price stabilization rather than prolonged declines.

In summary, the rare 3-week Stochastic RSI reading is a meaningful long-term signal that mirrors conditions seen at the 2022 bottom. Combined with an ongoing daily bullish divergence and the absence of aggressive selling, these factors point to slowing sell momentum and an elevated probability of sideways price action rather than fresh deep lows. Traders should watch for a confirmed break above the descending trendline and the $1.97 resistance to validate a trend change, while a decisive breakdown below $1.82 would reintroduce stronger bearish risk.
