XRP Price Trapped in Neutral Squeeze Ahead of Key Levels

XRP's price action has become increasingly neutral, trapped between support and resistance levels. As of September 16, 2026, XRP is trading at $1.30, stuck in a 'squeeze' with no clear directional bias on the daily chart.

The hourly chart shows a bearish alignment, with price below all three EMAs and RSI14 at 34.91. However, momentum is stalling rather than accelerating, which keeps the bullish case alive.

The 15-minute chart is compressed, with volatility squeezed out of the short-term chart. This setup can lead to a rapid expansion in either direction once one of the key levels breaks.
