8/10/2025 – XRP’s Momentum Weakens as Bitcoin Hits New Highs, Raising Pullback Risk
XRP continues to lag behind Bitcoin, showing a series of lower highs that signal weakening buying pressure and increased vulnerability to sharp declines.
Since July, every Bitcoin rally has triggered XRP gains, but the token has repeatedly failed to reach previous peaks. This pattern highlights a divergence: while Bitcoin sets new highs, XRP struggles to maintain momentum, suggesting reduced conviction among buyers.
Recent price action illustrates the trend. Bitcoin surged past $126,000 in late September, yet XRP’s rally topped at $3.10, below its September high of $3.19. A similar lower high appeared in mid-August when Bitcoin hit $124,000.
XRP’s support zone of $2.65–$2.70 remains a critical floor. If the token breaks below this level, a deeper sell-off toward $2.00 becomes increasingly likely. To counter this bearish setup, XRP would need to surpass the $3.10 mark with strong volume.
Technical indicators reinforce caution. The weekly MACD histogram crossed below zero last month and continues to produce deeper bars beneath the line, signaling growing downward momentum.
Traders should watch for a potential pullback, especially during Bitcoin corrections, as XRP’s weak highs and declining momentum could accelerate losses.
