Key Insights:
- Weekly RSI crossed above its average, a setup that previously preceded sustained XRP price advances.
- XRP’s 5-day MACD formed a Golden Cross with positive histogram momentum returning.
- Price holds above $2 support while $3.60 remains the next major resistance level to watch.
XRP’s weekly chart shows a new RSI crossover. The Relative Strength Index has moved above its moving average. This shift has occurred a few times since 2024, and in each case, the price moved higher in the weeks that followed.
The RSI now sits at 46.77, while the average is at 43.24. The last few crossovers on the weekly timeframe were followed by green weekly candles and sustained gains. The same setup appeared again in early January 2026, and the market is watching for a similar reaction.
MACD Flips Positive with a Golden Cross
On the 5-day chart, the MACD has formed a Golden Cross. The MACD line has crossed above the signal line, and the histogram has flipped into positive territory. This type of signal has marked the start of trend changes in the past.

2026 Opens with Strong Price Action
Since the start of the year, XRP has climbed 14.9%. Price moved from below $1.82 to $2.08. Over the past seven days, the token has gained 5.5%, despite a daily dip of around 2.6%.
A recent chart from EmilioBojan shows XRP holding above $2.00, which is being viewed as an area of support. The tweet states, “if it holds above $2, we might never see it dip below this level again before hitting our bullish targets.” The market appears to be defending this level as a possible new base.

Looking ahead, the $3.60 mark stands out as a potential resistance level. Price struggled at this level during past moves and could again act as a barrier for bulls.
The same chart points to a possible move toward $5.00 if price breaks past $3.60. Until then, $2.00 remains the level to watch. Holding that support could keep the trend in place as traders wait to see whether XRP can maintain momentum.
