Key takeaways<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • XRP\u2019s long-to-short ratio stands at a bullish 1.06 as funding rates turn negative.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • XRP holds above its 50-day and 100-day EMAs at $1.284 and $1.255.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • A daily close above the 200-day EMA at $1.353 could place $1.90 in focus.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    XRP extended its recoveries on Thursday after finding support at important technical levels. However, conflicting funding rates, long-to-short positioning, and on-chain signals indicate that traders remain uncertain about whether the rebounds can continue.<\/span><\/p>\n

    XRP traded near $1.30 while holding above its 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages. A close above the 200-day EMA at $1.353 is required to strengthen its recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

    XRP traders show mixed positioning<\/h2>\n

    XRP\u2019s long-to-short rati<\/span>o rose to 1.06 on Thursday, approaching its highest level in more than a month, according to CoinGlass.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A ratio above one means traders hold more long positions than shorts, signaling a moderately bullish positioning bias.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Funding rates complicate the derivatives outlook for both tokens. XRP\u2019s funding rate turned negative on Wednesday and stood at -0.0040% on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Negative funding means short-position holders are paying longs, indicating that bearish positioning has become more aggressive.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This conflicts with XRP\u2019s bullish long-to-short ratio and highlights the lack of consensus among futures traders.<\/span><\/p>\n

    CryptoQuant\u2019s summary indicators point to cautious conditions across XRP\u2019s spot and futures markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

    XRP is showing signs of overheating, while its futures market reflects sell-side dominance. Increased activity from retail traders could also introduce additional volatility if leveraged positions become crowded.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Taken together, the metrics suggest that XRP has not attracted enough consistent demand to confirm a sustained recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

    XRP holds above the $1.25\u2013$1.28 support zone<\/h2>\n

    XRP traded near $1.30 on Thursday, maintaining a neutral and range-bound technical structure. <\/span>The token remains slightly above its 50-day EMA at $1.284 and its 100-day EMA at $1.255. These moving averages create a broader demand zone between approximately $1.25 and $1.28.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Relative Strength Index stands near 46, signaling neutral-to-weak momentum. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator remains below zero, showing that bullish pressure has yet to recover fully.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"XRP\/USD<\/p>\n

    A break below the moving-average support cluster could expose the psychological $1 level.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The 200-day EMA at $1.353 represents XRP\u2019s most important near-term resistance. A daily close above this level would improve the technical outlook and could open a path toward the next major horizontal resistance near $1.90.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Failure to clear $1.353 would keep XRP trapped within its current range and leave the $1.30 area vulnerable to another pullback.<\/span><\/p>\n
