XRP trades at $1.40 on Tuesday, holding above the key 200-day EMA support at $1.35.
XLM holds above the dense band of EMA resistance, keeping the near-term bias bullish.
Derivatives data for both altcoins signal a bullish bias, with positive funding rates and rising long positions.
Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) hold above the key support zones on Tuesday, hinting at an upside move. Derivatives metrics further support the recovery, with both altcoins showing positive funding rates and rising long positions.
Derivatives metrics signal a bullish outlook
Derivatives data shows a bullish tilt among XRP and XLM traders. CoinGlass’ long-to-short ratios for Ripple and Stellar read 1.14 and 1.15, respectively, on Tuesday, nearing their highest levels in a month. A ratio above one indicates bullish sentiment, as traders bet asset prices will rise.
In addition, the funding rates for both altcoins also support a bullish bias. XRP funding rate flipped positive on August 28 and read 0.0084% on Tuesday. Similarly, the XLM funding rate flipped positive on September 2 and read 0.0147% on Tuesday, indicating that longs are paying shorts and reflecting a bullish outlook for XRP and XLM.
XLM technical outlook: Extends its recovery above the EMAs
XLM price trades at $0.193 on Tuesday, extending its recovery above the EMAs and tilting the near-term bias to the upside. The 50-day, 100-day and 200-day EMAs clustered between roughly $0.180 and $0.190 now act as a rising demand band beneath price, suggesting dip-buying interest on setbacks.
The RSI holds in bullish territory around 60, while the MACD histogram stays mildly positive with the line above the signal, hinting that bullish momentum remains constructive but not yet overstretched.
On the topside, initial resistance appears at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the latest swing near $0.200, with further hurdles at the 50% retracement around $0.218 and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level near $0.237. A sustained break above those barriers could open the way toward the descending trendline resistance and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level in the $0.260 region.
On the downside, immediate support is seen at the 200-day EMA near $0.188, followed by the 100-day EMA at $0.180 and the 50-day EMA around $0.179. A deeper pullback would expose the horizontal floor at $0.177 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement near $0.173, where buyers would be expected to defend the broader upturn before the more distant supports at $0.142 and $0.139 come into focus.

Current price:
~$1.42, down about 61% from its all-time high of $3.65 (hit in mid-January 2025 alongside the SEC lawsuit resolution). Market cap sits around $89 billion, ranked #5 among all cryptocurrencies, with roughly 62.7 billion XRP in circulation out of a 100 billion max supply.
Recent trend:
After the 2025 rally and subsequent pullback, XRP has actually stabilized meaningfully better than earlier this cycle — trading in a $1.40-$1.45 range rather than sliding toward $1. Interestingly, XRP perpetual futures open interest dropped roughly 96% over six months (from ~7B to ~1.5B XRP by April 2026), suggesting a big reduction in leveraged speculation, while XRP funds still pulled in ~$19.3 million in inflows in the past week — a sign of some renewed spot investor interest even as leveraged bets unwind.
Key drivers:
Regulatory clarity — the resolved SEC lawsuit remains the structural tailwind that reset XRP's institutional narrative in 2025
Ecosystem expansion — the June 2025 launch of an EVM-compatible sidechain (via Axelar) now supports Solidity-based DeFi apps, lending, and derivatives — broadening XRP's use case beyond payments
Cross-border payments utility — Ripple's core business (bank settlement, on-demand liquidity) remains XRP's long-term value pitch
High volatility — XRP has shown 100-130% quarterly realized volatility, among the most volatile of major-cap coins
Massive supply — with ~100B max supply, XRP needs much larger dollar inflows than BTC/ETH to move meaningfully in price
Bottom line:
XRP looks like it's found a floor in the $1.40 area after its steep 2025 correction, with reduced leverage and steady fund inflows pointing to a calmer, more accumulation-style phase rather than the sharp swings seen earlier in the cycle.
