Warning Signs for XRP? Prices Trend ‘Lower Highs’ While Bitcoin Climbs Higher

8/10/2025 – XRP Shows Weakness as Bitcoin Hits New Highs

XRP continues to lag Bitcoin, forming a series of lower highs even as Bitcoin posts new peaks. This divergence highlights weakening buyer conviction in XRP, leaving it vulnerable to sharper downside moves.

During Bitcoin’s recent rally past $126,000, XRP peaked at $3.10—below its September high of $3.19. A similar pattern occurred in mid-August when Bitcoin surged to $124,000. The trend of lower highs against a steady support range of $2.65–$2.70 indicates that XRP’s momentum is faltering.

Technical signals reinforce the cautious outlook. The weekly MACD histogram remains below zero, producing increasingly deep bars, suggesting strengthening downward pressure. If XRP fails to hold the $2.65–$2.70 support, a decline toward $2.00 becomes increasingly likely.

Traders are monitoring how XRP reacts to Bitcoin pullbacks, as continued divergence could amplify short-term volatility.
