The XRP golden cross on the hourly chart showed a short-term bullish crossover, but price action suggests a likely fakeout: hourly momentum weakened and moving averages tilted down, leaving XRP vulnerable to a pullback toward $2.70 unless price reclaims $2.90 and holds above daily support.

What is the XRP golden cross and why did it fail?
XRP golden cross refers to a short-term moving average crossing above a longer-term moving average on the hourly chart, typically signaling bullish momentum. The recent hourly golden cross failed because momentum declined and the hourly MAs tilted downward, producing a price rejection and a drop back to $2.80.
How did the hourly moving averages behave on XRP’s chart?
The hourly short-term MA crossed above the longer MA, creating the golden cross signal. However, both MAs showed a downward tilt within hours as trading volume cooled. Low volume and weakening momentum transformed the signal into a likely fakeout rather than the start of sustained upside.
What role did macro data and sentiment play in the move?
Investors initially reacted to a weak jobs report that fueled hopes of a September rate cut, briefly lifting XRP toward $2.90. The rally was rejected at that level and price fell to $2.80, suggesting that macro-driven spikes lacked follow-through from market participants.

XRP’s current technical range is $2.74–$2.887 after a late-August low of $2.69. Key technical levels are $3.05 (daily SMA 50) as resistance and $2.48 (daily SMA 200) as support. At the time of publication, XRP is down 1.38% over 24 hours and holds a market capitalization near $167 billion.
Treat the hourly golden cross as a conditional signal; confirmation requires sustained price above $2.90 with improving volume. If price fails to close and hold above $2.90, short-term bias remains neutral-to-bearish and protective stops or reduced position sizes are prudent.
1. Watch volume: rising volume on moves above $2.90 confirms buyer commitment. 2. Monitor hourly MA slope: a resumption of upward tilt validates the crossover. 3. Track $2.70 and $2.48 supports for downside risk control.
