$XRP is trading at $1.43, rising above the most technically significant resistance cluster it has faced in months. The price has simultaneously broken the 100-day MA and the descending channel’s upper boundary on the $USDT pair, while the $BTC pair breaks above a short-term resistance level. For the first time this cycle, both pairs are showing genuine strength at the same time, and the RSI on each is backing it up.

Ripple Price Analysis: The $USDT Pair

$XRP is finally consolidating above the convergence of the declining 100-day MA at approximately $1.40 and the descending channel’s upper boundary on the $USDT pair. The RSI has also climbed to the 55-60 range and is sustaining rather than fading. This suggests the buying pressure behind this approach is more durable than prior attempts.

A sustained daily close above the psychological $1.50 mark can confirm the breakout and pave the road toward the $1.80 supply zone. The 200-day moving average, also located around the same zone, could also be reclaimed if momentum sustains. This would be the signal that many investors sitting on the sidelines would want to see before entering the market again and going long on $XRP for the coming months.

The $BTC Pair

There is also a notable development on the $BTC pair. The price is breaking testing the recent low around 1,800 sats after a recovery from 1,700. This move has been accompanied by a bullish RSI divergence and recovery from oversold levels, which is the reversal pattern many traders look for after a liquidity sweep below a significant level.

If the 1,800 sats level is reclaimed, the next meaningful resistance sits at the 2,000 sats zone, where the 100-day moving average is declining, followed by the 200-day moving average at approximately 2,100 sats.

A reclaim of 2,000 sats area would be the first genuine sign that $XRP’s multi-month underperformance against Bitcoin is beginning to reverse. A consolidation above 1,800 sats would be an encouraging development, but the heavier structural work remains ahead.

VIPTradFi Focus: Where Does the RWA Market Stand Today?

1. Crypto outperformed traditional equity indexes following the rate hike, but elevated interest rates remain a key constraint on cross-asset allocation. From September 12 to 18, BTC, ETH, and SOL gained 4.83%, 3.84%, and 9.96%, respectively, while the S&P 500 edged down 0.08%. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 1.11%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at approximately 4.998%. Improving risk appetite is therefore coexisting with elevated discount rates, raising the bar for RWA allocation: investors need to compare not only returns on the underlying assets, but also on-chain liquidity and collateral efficiency. 2. Growth in tokenized equities is occurring even as the overall RWA market remains under pressure. As of September 18, Distributed Asset Value across RWAs stood at $38.503 billion, down 1.13% week over week, while tokenized equities reached $3.056 billion, up 6.03%. This week's data are better explained by capital reallocating across different RWA segments than by a broad-based expansion of the entire RWA market. 3. For exchanges, the opportunity lies in connecting spot holdings, collateral, and derivatives. Reality's distributed asset value stands at approximately $155 million, while eligible rTokens can already be used within Bitget's UTA margin framework. Across CoinGlass's verifiable sample of 177 TradFi instruments, open interest reached approximately $11.498 billion, up 2.06% week over week, even as weekly trading volume declined 7.60%. The medium-term opportunity remains intact, but deeper utilization will depend on liquidity, collateral use, and sustained trading activity. 4.Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, ZEC, gold, tokenized U.S. equities, COST. 5.Key metrics to watch: rToken collateral utilization, the durability of TradFi open interest and trading volume, and next week's employment and consumer data.
