XRP, the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, flashed its first bullish technical signal in three months.
According to on-chain analyst Ali, the SuperTrend indicator on XRP’s daily chart flipped to a buy signal on April 18, ending a stretch of sustained selling pressure that began in mid-January.
For the first time since Jan. 17, the SuperTrend indicator has flipped bullish on the daily chart. Ali said the buy signal follows months of “sell” pressure and suggests a potential comeback in XRP’s trend.
XRP fell about 27% in the first quarter of 2026, dropping from roughly $2.4 in January to a low near $1.16, marking its worst quarterly performance in eight years.
At press time, XRP was trading at $1.44, down about 3% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. The token remains more than 60% below its record high of $3.6 reached last July.
XRP has continued to struggle around the $1.55 level, which has repeatedly capped gains in recent weeks. Ali noted that a sustained break above $1.55 would open upside toward $1.9, about 30% above current levels.
XRP holders can now participate in trading, yield generation, and liquidity provision on Solana without selling their assets, after wrapped XRP (wXRP) went live on the blockchain on April 17.
The rollout bridges XRP into Solana’s DeFi environment, integrating with apps including Jupiter, Titan, Phantom, Meteora, and Byreal through Hex Trust and LayerZero infrastructure.
wXRP is fully collateralized 1:1 with XRP held in custody and remains redeemable at any time, supporting peg stability while expanding utility outside the XRP Ledger.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the expansion reflects rising demand and an ongoing push into multi-chain ecosystems.
XRP’s utility received a boost after two partnerships were unveiled earlier this week.
