XRP is slipping closer to the crucial $1 support level, with the asset’s technical signals remaining firmly bearish. The price has nearly reached the $1.03 support area, as buyers fail to generate a meaningful reversal. The moving averages highlight the issue: on the daily chart, XRP is trading beneath the 50-day moving average near $1.08, the short-term average at $1.06, and the 200-day moving average at $1.37. The 100-day average at roughly $1.18 poses additional resistance.
XRP struggles at $1 support
All of these key averages are trending downward, reinforcing XRP’s established downtrend. Temporary rallies continue to meet progressively lower resistance levels, and overall market momentum is lacking. The relative strength index (RSI) for XRP has dropped to approximately 36.8, approaching but not quite entering oversold territory—leaving room for another potential downward move.
A daily close below $1 could spark a new wave of bearish momentum and threaten the last significant psychological support, particularly if trading volume rises. For XRP to stabilize, it must regain ground above the $1.06 to $1.08 area. Until that happens, buyers face a challenging landscape, and the $1 mark remains the deciding threshold between further consolidation and the risk of a sharp breakdown.
XRP’s position below all major moving averages and its declining momentum indicate that the $1 support is now critical for market direction. Any breakdown could accelerate the current downtrend.

Zcash holds bullish structure above key averages
In contrast, Zcash (ZEC) shows a firmer technical position even after another rejection near $500. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency is currently trading around $488, consolidating between its short-term moving averages and preserving a broader bullish structure that developed after its recovery from March lows. The key battle lies in the $483 to $495 range.
ZEC remains above both the 50-day average at $483 and the 100-day average at $469, marking a supportive cluster for the asset. The 200-day moving average, still moving higher, sits much lower at $422, distinguishing ZEC from other cryptos currently below their long-term trend lines.
| Asset | Current Price | 50-day MA | 100-day MA | 200-day MA | Key Support | Key Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XRP | $1.03 | $1.08 | $1.18 | $1.37 | $1.00 | $1.06–$1.08 |
| ZEC | $488 | $483 | $469 | $422 | $469–$483 | $495–$500 |
| DOGE | $0.0705 | $0.0724 | $0.0815 | $0.0974 | $0.067 | $0.072–$0.073 |
| BTC | $63,605 | $63,337 | $66,673 | $72,012 | $62,000–$63,000 | $64,000–$64,500 |
Repeated attempts to break above $500 have failed to attract sustained buying, with the resistance near that level remaining firm. Should ZEC clear the $500 mark, the price could target the next resistance zone at $520 to $540, and eventually the $560 to $580 area. Volume, however, has waned since earlier in the year—making a convincing break harder without renewed participation.
If support between $469 and $483 is lost, ZEC could slide to $440 and potentially to the 200-day average near $422. For now, the broader setup stays bullish as long as ZEC maintains this range, despite being briefly range-bound.

Dogecoin and Bitcoin test consolidation zones
Dogecoin (DOGE) continues its steep decline but recent trading suggests selling pressure is easing. Now priced at $0.0705 after weeks of consolidating near recent lows, DOGE trades below its 50-day moving average at $0.0724 and short-term average at $0.0712. The 100-day moving average at $0.0815 acts as a significant resistance, while the 200-day average at $0.0974 remains distant.
The recent period of stability above $0.067 hints at a possible basing pattern, with the RSI rebounding to around 47—a neutral reading. For buyers to gain ground, DOGE must climb above the $0.072–$0.073 band, which could then trigger a move toward $0.08–$0.082. Losing the $0.067 floor opens the risk of further losses, as the overall trend remains bearish until notable resistance is reclaimed.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is consolidating in a tight range of $63,600 to $64,000 after rebounding from its June low near $58,000. The leading cryptocurrency trades just under its short-term moving average at $64,088 and marginally above its 50-day average at $63,337, creating a narrow zone where neither side controls momentum.
Bitcoin has defended $62,000–$63,000 since the June sell-off, allowing buyers to build a potential foundation. However, recovery above $66,700 is still necessary before a sustained bullish reversal can develop.
Major resistance remains above current levels: the 100-day average is around $66,673 and the 200-day at $72,012, both sloping lower. With RSI near 46.7 and its signal average at 49.7, momentum signals indecision and a lack of strong trend direction.
Holding the $62,000 support gives buyers some room to maneuver, but losing it would increase the likelihood of a retreat to $60,000 and possibly the June lows. Although the broader Bitcoin trend has stabilized, a technical breakout is still absent and the dominant bias remains cautious.
