XRP's price on February 18, 2025, indicates short-term bearish pressure as it tests critical support levels. The 1-hour chart shows a downtrend with XRP trading between $2.48 and $2.52. Immediate support is at $2.45-$2.50, while resistance is at $2.60-$2.65. Increased selling activity is suggested by volume spikes on red candles.

On the 4-hour timeframe, there is a bearish reversal after rejection at $2.80-$2.85, with XRP forming lower highs and lows towards $2.40-$2.45 support. Resistance at $2.65-$2.75 is key, and a close above $2.60 could lead to a retest of that zone. Failure to hold $2.40 may result in declines to $2.20-$2.30.

The daily chart shows XRP recovering from a plunge to $1.77 and consolidating above $2.40 after a failed rally near $2.80-$3.00. While the broader trend is bullish, repeated rejections at lower highs suggest indecision. A sustained hold above $2.40 could reignite momentum towards $2.80+, but a breakdown would put recovery prospects at risk, exposing the $2.20-$2.40 support zone.

Key oscillators suggest a mixed picture, with the RSI and Stochastic signaling neutrality and the CCI and ADX reflecting subdued momentum. The short-term moving averages indicate selling pressure, while the longer-term moving averages lean bullish. This divergence highlights the conflict between short-term bearishness and long-term recovery potential.

A bullish scenario depends on XRP defending the $2.40-$2.45 support zone, with buy signals from the MACD and long-term moving averages supporting this. A rebound above $2.60 could validate renewed bullish momentum, targeting the $2.80-$3.00 resistance range.

A bearish outcome becomes more likely if XRP breaks below $2.40, with selling pressure reinforced by short-term moving averages and the momentum indicator. Lower highs on the 1-hour and 4-hour charts, along with volume-backed red candles, suggest a retest of $2.20-$2.30. Failure to reclaim the $2.65 resistance range would confirm the downtrend and invalidate recovery hopes.
