XRP Bears Lose Steam? Bitcoin Recovers $112K While Shiba Inu Shows First Signs of Strength

Market Overview

The cryptocurrency market has faced intense bearish pressure in recent weeks, with leading assets such as XRP, Bitcoin, and Shiba Inu struggling to maintain momentum. However, the tide may be turning. While selling activity is still present, exhaustion among bears is becoming evident, and selective assets are showing the first sparks of recovery. At CryptaBlocks, our analysts track these shifts closely to guide investors toward opportunities that can deliver consistent ROI.

XRP: Bears Losing Grip?

XRP has been under sustained bearish pressure, failing to reclaim the $3 psychological level. At present, XRP is trading around $2.08, just above its 100-day EMA — a key support line.

Despite an extended pullback from July’s peak of $3.70, XRP has not collapsed as many anticipated. Instead, buyers have defended the $2.75–$2.85 range, signaling that bears may be losing momentum. Trading volumes have declined significantly, indicating that selling pressure is drying up.

The RSI sits at 44, suggesting mild bearishness but not extreme oversold conditions. A retest of the 200-day EMA at $2.50 remains possible, but unless a major negative catalyst emerges, a dramatic plunge appears unlikely.

XRP: Bears Losing Grip?

Bitcoin’s rebound from below $110,000 to just over $112,000 took many investors by surprise. On the surface, this looks bullish — but the low trading volume behind this move makes the recovery less convincing.

Currently, BTC trades between $110,900 and $112,600, just beneath critical resistance near the 50-day EMA at $115,000. Historically, low-volume rebounds near resistance levels often fail to sustain momentum. Should Bitcoin fail to break above $115,000, the price could quickly revisit the $108,000–$106,000 zone, with the 200-day EMA at $104,000 acting as a potential magnet.

With RSI holding neutral at 45, volatility is likely ahead. Investors should remain cautious, and at CryptaBlocks, we advise waiting for confirmation above $115,000 before reassessing long-term bullish positions.

Shiba Inu: The First Signs of Optimism

Shiba Inu has spent much of 2025 in a prolonged downtrend. Yet, the charts are finally flashing cautious optimism. Trading at $0.0000122, SHIB is moving within a tightening symmetrical triangle. Recent candles suggest that sellers are weakening, and momentum could be shifting toward buyers.

The 50-day EMA has held firm, with buyers defending it multiple times. If SHIB sustains momentum, it may test the 100-day EMA at $0.0000130 and even challenge the 200-day EMA at $0.0000139, a level that could confirm a long-term reversal.

The RSI at 46 provides room for upward momentum without being overextended. For investors, a close above the 100-day EMA could serve as a confidence trigger for a short-term rally.

Conclusion: A Market at a Crossroads

The overall crypto market shows signs of bearish exhaustion. XRP is holding above critical supports, Bitcoin has managed an unexpected — though fragile — comeback, and Shiba Inu is signaling its first potential bullish breakout in months.

At CryptaBlocks, our analysts believe that while opportunities are emerging, volume and structural confirmations remain key. Investors should proceed strategically, as sustainable gains will likely depend on breakouts above major resistance zones. As always, CryptaBlocks remains committed to helping clients navigate volatility and maximize ROI in evolving market cycles.
