XRP Has Now Entered Its Green Area of Interest, Which Suggests Opportunity

Market data shows that $XRP may have now slipped into an area of interest amid the ongoing downturn, presenting an opportunity for long-term investors.

$XRP continues to face strong selling pressure, currently trading at $1.14, which places it 68% below its all-time high of $3.60 reached in July 2025. The token has also fallen 37.8% since the beginning of the year.

Amid the latest crash, market analyst Chart Nerd says $XRP has entered what he calls a green “area of interest.” According to him, this represents a zone that could help determine whether $XRP is forming a long-term bottom for the ongoing downturn.

$XRP Returns to a Historically Important Zone

Chart Nerd pointed out that $XRP spent most of 2023 and the latter part of 2024 trading below a major resistance range between $0.70 and $0.80. Throughout this period, the zone repeatedly blocked upward movement and acted as a major barrier for the asset.

Notably, $XRP finally broke above this resistance area during Q4 2024. This breakout helped trigger a strong rally, eventually pushing the token to its all-time high of $3.60 in July 2025.

According to the analyst, the move above the long-standing resistance around $0.70 to $0.80 marked a major turning point for $XRP at the time. However, the rally eventually lost strength. Chart Nerd noted that $XRP began losing important moving averages, signaling a weakening trend.

A weekly 20/50 EMA death cross later appeared, confirming that the market structure has flipped bearish. Following this change, $XRP declined from its January 2026 high of $2.40 and later dropped to a February wick low of $1.12.

$XRP Enters Area of Interest

After reaching its February low, $XRP moved sideways for several weeks. The asset later staged a recovery attempt that briefly improved market sentiment, but the rebound failed to gain enough momentum to change the broader trend.

Chart Nerd highlighted that $XRP faced resistance at the 20-week exponential moving average around $1.55. Once the price failed to move above this level, selling pressure returned and pushed the asset lower. This decline eventually drove $XRP down to the low of $1.04 earlier this month.

With the latest drop now complete, the analyst said $XRP has officially entered his green “area of interest.” He says this zone, which sits between $0.70 and $1.25, represents a region to watch for signs of a potential bottom or even a broader market cycle low between now and the fourth quarter of 2026.

Why This Area Could Be Important

According to Chart Nerd, the current region is important because it sits close to a former resistance area that could now become support.

The same $0.70 to $0.90 range that limited $XRP throughout much of 2023 and 2024 may provide support if buyers manage to defend it during a deeper market decline before the end of the year.

However, the analyst warned that investors should not assume a reversal has already started. He stressed that confirmation is the most important factor, and so far, the market has not provided it.

According to him, while $XRP’s presence within the area of interest may present opportunities, the asset must first reclaim key resistance levels before a larger bullish trend can develop.

He identified the weekly EMA resistance levels at $1.45 and $1.78 as important levels to watch. Until $XRP moves back above those areas, traders should continue to follow the existing trend instead of expecting an immediate reversal.

Short-Term $XRP Levels to Watch

Meanwhile, EGRAG Crypto, another well-known analyst, discussed $XRP’s short-term price action. He noted that $XRP continues to hold above a short-term moving average while consolidating around the $1.14 area.

EGRAG Crypto stated that bulls remain in control on the lower time frame as long as $XRP stays above the support zone between $1.134 and $1.14. If buyers continue defending that area, he expects the price to move toward higher resistance levels.

His first major upside target sits at $1.1938, while stronger momentum could push $XRP toward the next target at $1.26. On the downside, he mentioned $1.0900 as the main support level and pointed to $1.0500 as a critical invalidation level and deeper support zone.

The analyst added that a breakout above the current consolidation range could open the door to a move toward $1.1938. On the other hand, if $XRP loses its current support area, the price could return to $1.0900.
