XRP flashes extreme oversold signal as historic cycles point to $20

XRP's price has fallen to its most oversold level on record while exchange reserves tighten, a combination that preceded previous bull market reversals.

XRP recorded its most extreme oversold technical signal in history on July 28, with exchange reserves of the token simultaneously tightening, according to market data.

"XRP's current oversold reading is the most extreme we have ever recorded, and historic cycle patterns show striking similarities with conditions that preceded previous bull market reversals," a crypto analyst at a digital asset research firm said.

The token traded at $1.10 as of 11:00 UTC, down about 66% over the past year. Exchange reserves of XRP have declined as the token's price fell, reducing the supply available for immediate sale. The combination of an extreme oversold reading and tightening exchange supply has historically preceded sharp reversals in XRP's price, analysts said.

The setup mirrors conditions from prior cycles when XRP's technical indicators reached similar extremes before the token rallied significantly. Analysts tracking the pattern have identified $20 as a potential target if the current cycle follows historical precedent, though the token would first need to reclaim its 200-day moving average at $1.42, a level it has not closed above since January.

Historic Oversold Reading

XRP's current oversold signal is the most extreme in the token's history, surpassing prior readings from previous market cycles. The token has traded below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages since January, with all three averages still falling — the technical definition of a sustained downtrend.

Exchange Supply Tightens

The supply of XRP held on exchanges has declined as prices fell, a dynamic that historically reduces selling pressure when buying emerges. The withdrawal trend suggests accumulation, with a smaller proportion of the circulating supply available for immediate trading compared with earlier this year.

XRP's circulating supply stands at roughly 57.8 billion tokens. Reaching the $20 target cited by analysts would represent a more than 1,700% gain from current levels.
