Ripple Price Stuck in Consolidation Zone Amid Bullish Short-Term Signals

Ripple's price is stuck in a tight consolidation zone, trading at $1.33 as of September 18, 2026. The daily chart shows a neutral macro bias, with neither buyers nor sellers taking control.

The short-term momentum, however, tells a different story. On the 1-hour and 15-minute charts, RSI14 readings of 65.02 and 66.85 indicate building bullish pressure.

For XRP to push through the daily EMA20 at $1.34 and clear the R1 pivot at the same level, the path opens toward the daily Bollinger mid-band at $1.37 and eventually the upper band near $1.46.
