$XRP signals strength as XRP/ETH ratio hits 5-year high

Despite the volatility in the cryptocurrency market due to the escalating trade war, XRP has remained resilient, falling just 0.5% over the past month. With a market cap of over $140 billion, it now accounts for more than half of Ethereum's valuation and is approaching Tether's USDT. Moreover, the XRP/ETH ratio has reached the closest level seen in 2020. Can this momentum be sustained? Momentum indicator RSI: Neutral The relative strength index (RSI) measure whether an asset is overbought or oversold. RSI(14) is now 51, slightly higher than yesterday's level of 49, indicating moderate buying momentum. The short-term RSI(7) is at 57, compared to yesterday's 53. This indicates a slight bullish sentiment but does not indicate strong buying pressure.

MFI: Neutral The Money Flow Index (MFI) incorporates volume into buying and selling pressure analysis. MFI(14) remain at 51, the same as yesterday, but significantly higher than a week ago when it was at 28. This reflects increased capital inflows into XRP, which supports the recent stability of the price. Fear & Greed Index: Neutral The Fear & Greed Index measures the overall sentiment of the cryptocurrency market. Today's value is 46, compared to 27 yesterday and 28 weeks ago. This change indicates a recovery in investor confidence, although still below the threshold for strong bullish behavior.

Moving Avarage SMA & EMA: Bullish caution Moving averages help to gauge trend direction in different timeframes. SMA(9) today: 2.26EMA(9) today: 2.31SMA(26019283746574839201 today: 2.39EMA)26( today: 2.39 XRP is currently trading above the 9-day moving average but near the 26-day moving average, indicating that the short-term trend remains bullish while the long-term trend remains stable.

Bollinger Bands: Neutral Bollinger Bands highlight periods of high and low volatility. The upper band is at 2.72, while the lower band is at 1.94. Since XRP is trading in the middle of this range, there are no immediate signals of overbought or oversold conditions, although it does indicate that there is room for price expansion in either direction.

Trend and volatility indicators ADX: Weak trend strength The average directional index )ADX( measure trend strength. ADX)14( is now at 21, slightly lower than yesterday's 22 and 24 a week ago. A weaker ADX indicates that the current trend lacks strong momentum, making it easy for the trend to reverse. ATR: Low volatility The Average True Range )ATR(, a measure of volatility, today is 0.23, unchanged from yesterday but slightly lower than last week's 0.25. This suggests that price movements have been more controlled, reducing the likelihood of a breakout. AO: Bearish Dynamics The Awesome Oscillator )AO(, confirming the trend direction, is now -0.18, slightly improving from -0.24 yesterday but weaker than -0.02 a week ago. Negative values indicate a decrease in dynamics, although an upward shift indicates stability. VWAP: Price increase The volume-weighted average price )VWAP(, which measures the average price when considering trading volume, stands at 2.55. Since the current price of XRP is lower than the VWAP, this indicates the potential for further upside if trading volumes return. Relative performance Comparison with ETH: Stronger Performance The XRP/ETH ratio is currently at 0.00125 – the closest level seen in 2020. The rate has increased by 18% over the past seven days and 24% over the past month. XRP's market cap has now exceeded that of Ethereum's, but it's worth noting that this change is largely due to Ethereum's weak performance rather than XRP's particular strength.

What's XRP's Next Step? XRP's technical indicators show mixed but slightly bullish outlook Momentum indicators show steady buying pressure, while moving averages provide slight support for the current trend. However, falling volumes and weak ADX indicate that this rally lacks strong momentum. If buyers step in and push XRP above $2.50, it could test higher resistance levels. However, considering the recent volatility and poor performance of Ethereum and Solana over the past weeks, XRP's neutral outlook itself suggests strength and resilience — which could set the stage for a stronger move as market momentum improves.
