XRP struggles near $0.7440, could still sustain rally after Robinhood listing

source-logo  fxstreet.com 10 h
  • Ripple's XRP open interest has declined by over 10% in the past 24 hours.
  • Robinhood's listing of XRP could serve as a catalyst for renewed demand.
  • XRP continues to struggle near historically strong resistance after sustaining another rejection at $0.7440.

Ripple's XRP is trading near $0.6900, down nearly 3% on Wednesday, as declining open interest could extend its price correction. However, other on-chain metrics point to a long-term bullish setup.

XRP could continue rally despite decline in open interest

XRP's open interest declined over 10% in the past 24 hours following a reduction in investor interest. The OI decreased from $1.2 billion on Tuesday to $1.09 billion on Wednesday.

Open interest is the total number of outstanding contracts in a derivatives market. If XRP's OI continues declining, it could extend its price correction.

However, Robinhood relisting XRP on its trading platform could spark new demand for the altcoin. The trading exchange recently announced it relisted the token due to high community demand for the coin in the past month.

Additionally, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse allegedly met with President-elect Donald Trump and members of his administration to discuss a potential regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.

Meanwhile, active addresses on the XRP Ledger have also grown, per CryptoQuant's data, indicating strengthening bullish momentum.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP struggles near historically strong $0.7440 resistance

Coinglass data shows that XRP is down 3% following $14.73 million in liquidations in the past 24 hours. Liquidated long and short positions accounted for $11.16 million and $3.58 million, respectively.

On the daily chart, XRP saw a rejection at the resistance level near $0.7440 for the second time in two days. This resistance has held since July 2023, and the remittance-based token has seen a rejection near it five times in the past year.

With the rejection, XRP could decline to the support level near $0.5700. If XRP bounces off this level, it could rally upward to retest $0.7440 again. A move above this level could see XRP rally toward $0.8547.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the oversold region and trending downward, indicating a potential price correction.

A daily candlestick close below $0.5700 will invalidate the thesis.
