After months of price weakness and repeated market hesitation, XRP is beginning to show signs of life again. The digital asset has spent much of 2026 trapped in a frustrating cycle of lower lows, failed breakout attempts, and cautious investor sentiment. While many traders remained focused on short-term volatility, technical analysts started watching for quieter signals that often appear before major reversals.
That attention has now intensified following a fresh analysis from Arthur, crypto analyst and Chief Investment Officer at RoyalPeakCap. In a recent X post, Arthur pointed to XRP’s daily chart and argued that the market structure is becoming increasingly bullish. His view centers on a technical setup that many traders consider one of the strongest early reversal signals: bullish divergence.
RSI Divergence Suggests Selling Pressure Is Weakening
Arthur’s analysis focuses on the Relative Strength Index, better known as RSI, a momentum indicator traders use to measure the speed and strength of price movements. On XRP’s daily chart, he observed that while the price continued making lower lows, the RSI moved in the opposite direction by forming higher lows. This pattern is known as bullish divergence.
In technical analysis, bullish divergence often signals that downward momentum is fading even if the price still appears weak. It suggests sellers are losing strength and that buyers may be preparing to regain control. Traders often treat this as an early warning sign that a reversal could be forming.
🚨 Bullish Divergence on $XRP Daily Chart
While price has been making lower lows recently, the RSI has been making higher lows.
This is a bullish divergence, often a sign that selling pressure is weakening and a potential reversal could be forming.

Arthur’s TradingView chart shows XRP declining in price during recent sessions, while RSI refused to follow with equal weakness. This disconnect between price action and momentum often becomes significant when it appears near major support zones. Although divergence alone does not guarantee a rally, it frequently marks the point where market sentiment begins to shift.
Break Above $1.40 Adds Stronger Confirmation.
Arthur did not rely on RSI alone. He also highlighted XRP’s move above a key horizontal resistance zone around $1.40, a level traders had closely watched during the recent consolidation period.
Resistance levels often act as ceilings where sellers repeatedly stop movement upward. When price breaks above one of these levels, especially after weeks of rejection, traders often view it as confirmation that buyers are stepping back into the market.
This breakout strengthens the bullish case because it supports the RSI signal with actual price action. It shows that momentum is not just improving on an indicator but is beginning to reflect on the chart itself. If XRP can hold above this level, the breakout could become the foundation for a broader recovery phase.
Descending Trendline Remains the Next Major Test
Arthur’s chart also shows XRP trading beneath a broader descending trendline that has controlled price action for months. This trendline represents the larger bearish structure that followed earlier declines in 2026.

Breaking horizontal resistance is important, but overcoming the descending trendline would carry even greater significance. It would suggest that XRP is not simply experiencing a temporary bounce but may be transitioning into a genuine trend reversal.
Technical traders often wait for this type of confirmation before increasing exposure. A clean breakout above both structures could shift sentiment rapidly across the broader XRP market.
What Could Happen Next for XRP
If XRP maintains strength above $1.40 and breaks the descending trendline, traders may begin targeting higher resistance zones near previous swing highs established earlier this year. These levels could open the path toward stronger upside momentum and renewed bullish positioning.
However, confirmation remains essential. Volume must support the breakout, and broader market conditions—especially Bitcoin’s direction—will still influence XRP’s next move. A weak overall crypto market could delay even the strongest technical setup.
Still, Arthur’s analysis reflects a growing belief among traders that XRP may be entering an important transition phase. Major reversals rarely begin with dramatic headlines. They usually start with subtle shifts in momentum, stronger support levels, and changing trader behavior. XRP’s current daily chart appears to show exactly that.
If the bullish divergence continues to play out, this may not be just another short-term bounce. It could mark the early stage of XRP’s next meaningful move upward.
