$XRP Trades Sideways Amid Bullish Signals and Key Support Levels

$XRP is currently trading at $1.44, up 2.3% today and 4.6% over the past week. The token has found support between $1.30 and $1.40, with $1.30 acting as a critical level to watch.

As Bitcoin cools off slightly and its dominance pulls back, $XRP is likely to trade sideways in the short term rather than following Bitcoin lower. This pattern often occurs when Bitcoin loses steam, causing some altcoins to hold their ground better than others.

The daily chart shows strong support building around $1.34, while resistance sits in the $1.47 to $1.52 range. Analysts have also identified a bull flag pattern, with an hourly close above $1.40 seen as a potential trigger toward $1.46 and possibly $1.80 if support at $1.38-$1.39 holds.
