Ripple’s native token remains under strong bearish pressure, with the price continuing to respect a well-defined descending structure. The recent sell-off has pushed it into a major higher-timeframe demand zone, while momentum and structure still favor sellers. Nevertheless, the asset is likely to enter a consolidations tage for the short-term.

Ripple Price Analysis: The Daily Chart

On the daily timeframe, XRP has cleanly broken below multiple structural supports, confirming a bearish continuation scenario. The price has been forming lower lows and lower highs, indicating a notable sell-off. The asset has now reached a significant support at the $1.5 range, which represents the last meaningful buyers’ base before a potential deeper drawdown.

Nevertheless, previous daily demand zones have now flipped into strong supply, capping upside attempts. As long as the price remains below the $2.00–$2.20 reclaimed supply region, any bounce should be treated as corrective.

This daily structure suggests XRP is in a distribution markdown phase, with buyers currently reacting defensively rather than aggressively accumulating.

XRP/USDT 4-Hour Chart

On the 4-hour timeframe, price action clearly shows trend continuation within a descending channel. After failing to hold the $1.85–$1.90 support band, XRP accelerated lower, breaking structure and expanding downside momentum. The most recent push lower also invalidated any short-term higher-low attempts.

The broken $1.85–$1.90 zone is now acting as a near-term supply. Any relief bounce into this area would likely be a pullback opportunity, not a reversal signal.

On the other hand, the descending trendline continues to guide price lower, keeping bearish structure intact. Failure to hold the current demand zone increases the probability of a deeper sweep toward the lower HTF demand region around the $1.30–$1.40 area.

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

The post Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin traded at $116,236 as of 14:04 UTC on Sept. 17, up about 1% in the past 24 hours, holding above a key level as markets await the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement. Analysts’ comments Dean Crypto Trades noted on X that bitcoin is only about 7% above its post-election local peak, while the S&P 500 has risen 9% and gold has surged 36% during the same period. He said bitcoin has compressed more than those assets, making it likely to lead the next larger move, though it could form a “lower high” before extending further. He added that ether could join in once it breaks $5,000 and enters price discovery. Lark Davis pointed to bitcoin’s history around September FOMC meetings, saying every September decision since 2020 — except during the 2022 bear market — has preceded a strong rally. He stressed that the pattern is less about the Fed’s rate choice itself and more about seasonal dynamics, arguing that bitcoin tends to thrive in this period heading into “Uptober.” CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis According to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model, bitcoin rose about 0.9% during the Sept. 16–17 analysis window, climbing from $115,461 to $116,520. BTC reached a session high of $117,317 at 07:00 UTC on Sept. 17 before consolidating. Following that peak, bitcoin tested the $116,400–$116,600 range multiple times, confirming it as a short-term support zone. In the final hour of the session, between 11:39 and 12:38 UTC, BTC attempted a breakout: prices moved narrowly between $116,351 and $116,376 before spiking to $116,551 at 12:34 on higher volume. This confirmed a consolidation-breakout pattern, though the gains were modest. Overall, bitcoin remains firm above $116,000, with support around $116,400 and resistance near $117,300.
