XRP is currently trading within a tight technical range after failing to break above the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) near $1.66, bringing renewed attention to critical price levels that may shape its next move in the market. Crypto analyst ChartNerd, known for his market structure analysis, noted that XRP pushed up to $1.66 but was unable to secure a weekly close above the 50-week EMA. The bulls had aimed to break this barrier for the first time since XRP reached a high of $1.70, yet their attempt stalled and the price retreated toward $1.50, falling below the indicator.
