At the time of writing on Friday, Ripple (XRP) is trading above the important support level at $1.40, indicating stability before a possible breakout towards the weekly opening of $1.48.
The remittance token’s short-term bullish outlook mirrors the subtle intraday gains that characterize leading crypto assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
XRP maintains stability as ETF flows return
एक्सआरपी स्पॉट एक्सचेंज-ट्रेडेड फंड्स (ईटीएफ) ने गुरुवार को $4 मिलियन का प्रवाह आकर्षित किया, जो एथेरियम और बिटकॉइन ईटीएफ दोनों को पीछे छोड़ दिया, जिसमें क्रमशः $166 मिलियन और $130 मिलियन का बहिर्वाह देखा गया।
Cumulative ETF inflows amounted to $1.23 billion, and total assets under management exceeded $1 billion. Despite the slight rise on Thursday, overall sentiment remains shaky, given that net assets have declined from the record $1.65 billion seen in early January.

The XRP derivatives market paints a grim picture, with futures open interest (OI) falling to $2.32 billion on Friday from $2.45 billion the previous day. For context, retail interest reached an annual high of $4.55 billion on January 6, well below the OI record high of $10.94 billion in July.

The significantly increased demand from retail traders indicates that investors are confident in XRP’s outlook and its ability to maintain its bullish momentum. Therefore, traders should curb their expectations as futures OI continues to trend lower.
Technical Outlook: XRP holds key support, eyes potential breakout
XRP remains above the $1.40 support level, despite its gains appearing limited by the downward sloping 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $1.69, 100-day EMA at $1.90, and 200-day EMA at $2.12.
The Supertrend indicator on the daily chart is above XRP, limiting a potential rebound to $1.72. This indicator integrates the average true range (ATR) to measure market volatility and highlight the overall trend.
The path of least resistance may continue to be downwards until the price rises above the supertrend and turns green. Subsequently, a daily close below the immediate $1.40 support could propel XRP downwards to the October 10 low at $1.25. The February 6 low is just below $1.12.

Nevertheless, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator remains above the signal line. At the same time, the green histogram bars expand, indicating potential stability before a breakout towards the weekly open at $1.48. Other key levels of interest to traders include Sunday’s high of $1.67 and the 50-day EMA of $1.69, which if retested, could potentially signal a bullish turnaround.
