Ripple price analysis (Neutral) — 2.50 USDT (+0.77% 24h)

XRP is showing consolidation patterns around the $2.50 level after posting modest 0.77% gains over the past 24 hours. The current price action finds XRP trading between the 20-day SMA at $2.51 and 50-day SMA at $2.49, indicating a critical technical juncture. With RSI sitting at 48.8, momentum appears neutral to slightly bearish, though not yet in oversold territory. The $2.49-$2.51 range represents a key battleground where directional bias will likely be established. Trading volume of $237 million suggests moderate institutional interest, while volatility of 3.38% indicates relatively stable conditions compared to typical crypto assets. Traders should watch for a decisive break above $2.52 with volume confirmation for bullish entries, while a breakdown below $2.48 could signal further downside toward $2.45 support. Position sizing should remain conservative until clearer directional momentum emerges.
