XRP Bollinger Bands Reach Their Tightest Level Since Before the Rally to $3.6 in July

The $XRP Bollinger Bands on the daily chart have reached their tightest level since $XRP recovered to the all-time high price of $3.6 in July 2025.

$XRP has continued to face downward pressure despite two exceptionally bullish developments involving Ripple’s inclusion in Mastercard’s latest program and the firm’s $750 million share buyback. The price of $XRP remains below $1.4 amid these developments, down more than 25% this year.

However, the downtrend that picked up after the January 2025 peak of $2.41 seems to be losing momentum, leading to more range-bound price action than declines since late February. Amid this new trend, the daily $XRP Bollinger Bands have reached their tightest level since before $XRP soared to $3.6 in July 2025.

Key Points

• While $XRP has declined 25% this year, the downtrend that picked up earlier in the year seems to be losing momentum.
• $XRP has continued to trade within a range of $1.49 to $1.31 since late February, seeing more consolidation than declines.
• Due to the range-bound movement, the daily $XRP Bollinger Bands have slipped to their tightest level since July 2025.
• The last time this indicator was tighter than now, $XRP soared by more than 60% to the all-time high of $3.6 in July 2025.
• Tight Bollinger Bands often indicate lower volatility, and the breakout that follows could lead to an explosive run.

Downturn Now Losing Momentum

$XRP began this year on a bullish note, initially soaring to a peak of $2.41 on Jan. 6. However, what followed was a massive pullback that dominated the entire January and spilled into February, pushing $XRP to a low of $1.31 by Feb. 24.

Interestingly, since then, $XRP has demonstrated greater resilience against the bears, as it fails to record steeper declines. However, during this period, the bears have not been able to stage a decisive recovery. This has led to a range-bound price action, as $XRP trades in a range between the $1.31 low and $1.47.

$XRP Bollinger Bands Growing Tighter

Due to the range-bound price action, the daily $XRP Bollinger Bands have continued to grow tighter. With the upper band at $1.44 and the lower band at $1.32, the distance between the two indicators now sits at a modest $0.12, representing the tightest the bands have been this year.

$XRP Bollinger Bands

The last time the $XRP Bollinger Bands witnessed this sort of squeeze was in July 2025, when the upper band stood at $2.15, and the lower band had a value of $2.05, representing a distance of $0.10. Interestingly, after this squeeze, what followed was a breakout, pushing the $XRP price from $2.2 to $3.6, a 63% increase within two weeks.

Other Indicators Pointing to Imminent Breakout

Notably, the breakout in July was a natural part of the market process, as a Bollinger Band squeeze often leads to explosive breakouts to the upside or downside. With the $XRP Bollinger Bands now at levels similar to what the market witnessed in July 2025, another explosive surge could be imminent.

Additional indicators also point to such an imminent breakout for the $XRP price. Specifically, $XRP currently trades within a multi-month symmetrical triangle. The upper trendline, which has capped upward trends, formed as $XRP dropped from the $2.41 peak in January, and the lower trendline, which has provided support, formed as $XRP recovered from the $1.11 low in February.

$XRP’s current range-bound price action has moved within this triangle, but the crypto asset appears to have pushed toward the apex of the triangle. As a result, a breakout to the upside or downside could ensue, possibly coinciding with a breakout in the $XRP Bollinger Bands indicator.

In addition to this, the $XRP daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to levels similar to what the market recorded before the Bollinger Bands breakout in July 2025. At the time, the RSI dropped to 48.9 after a brief recovery. Today, the indicator has declined to 44.9 after a brief rebound as well.
