Is XRP Price Hinting at a Bounce? 3 Clues Say This One Could Finally Hold

XRP price has tested patience for weeks. The coin is down about 18% over the last month and nearly 4% in the past 24 hours. It has spent most of its time stuck inside a tight range, making the past few weeks feel flat and frustrating.

But the latest move shows something that the earlier attempts did not. A chart signal and a shift in holder behavior now point to a bounce that might finally have enough support to hold.

A New Signal Shows That Buyers Might Be Returning

XRP has been trading between $2.28 and $1.98 since late November. This range shows that buyers and sellers have been evenly matched. But the lower side of this range recently produced something new. The price touched the bottom trend line of a symmetrical triangle. A symmetrical triangle forms when buyers and sellers slow down at the same pace, which often signals an aggresive move.

The first strong clue comes from the volume trend. Between December 6 and December 11, the price made a lower low, but the On-Balance Volume (OBV) made a higher low.

OBV measures whether volume is flowing in or out of a coin. When price drops but OBV rises, it shows hidden accumulation. This usually means someone is buying the dips even while the chart looks weak. That is the first sign that a bounce attempt might surface.

This combination of the triangle support and the OBV divergence hints that early buying pressure is returning.

Why This Bounce Could Finally Hold If Selling Pressure Keeps Fading

A clean bounce, if it happens, also needs lower selling pressure. Long-term holders, often the strongest group in any coin, have reduced their selling sharply. On December 3, they were moving out 101,083,156 XRP. By December 10, that number dropped to 51,157,301 XRP. That is about a 49% reduction. They are still net sellers, but the selling pressure is softening at a noticeable pace.
