Tape now
XRPUSDT is sitting at 1.0035, fresh into the top-volume set with $494.5M in 24h quote volume and negative funding at -0.0087% — see Kwon's morning brief (2026-08-11-morning). The technical picture is oversold: RSI(14) at 24.35, price below all three moving averages (SMA(20) 1.0316, SMA(50) 1.0467, SMA(200) 1.0829), and MACD histogram negative. Last bar volume (90.9M contracts) blew past the 20-bar average (57.5M), but desk risk override is active — this is a levels watch, not a trade call.
Key levels
- Range low (42 bars): 1.0035
- Bollinger lower (20, 2.0σ): 1.0094
- SMA(20): 1.0316
- SMA(50): 1.0467
- Range high (42 bars): 1.0798
24h outlook
No clear directional edge here — probabilities are near a three-way split and expected return is tiny (-0.36%). The model assigns 21.4% odds to an upside move toward 1.0147, 32.6% to downside toward 0.9807, and 46.0% to flat (sideways within 0.9894–1.0176). Recent and similar past setups leaned negative, which is why downside carries more weight than upside, but the heaviest bucket is flat — this is a levels watch, not a high-conviction trade call.
Watchlist note
Monitor the 1.0035 range low and Bollinger lower at 1.0094 for any bounce or breakdown signals.

24h Bayesian model
Horizon: 24h (6 bars on 4h)
Context: ~31.0d (186 bars loaded; recency weights ×2 last 7d, ×3 last 3d)
Market regime: RSI(14) oversold (below 30); bearish MA stack (price below falling SMA(20) < SMA(200)); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum)
Reference price (4h, live / anchor): 1.0035
Expected return (24h): -0.36%
What expected return means: -0.36% is the blended average 24h move from past bars that looked similar to today — a slight downward lean on balance. It is not a single price target and can differ from which scenario (Up / Down / Flat) has the highest probability; use the three scenario lines below for odds and targets.
Price band (10–90%): 0.9807 – 1.0215 (median 0.9969, expected 0.9999)
24h scenarios (use these three probabilities in prose — they sum to 100%):
- Up: 21.4% → target 1.0147 (+1.12% 24h)
- Down: 32.6% → target 0.9807 (-2.27% 24h)
- Flat: 46.0% → stay within 0.9894 – 1.0176 (±1.41% from anchor; median 0.9969)
How we built these odds:
- Today's indicator setup: RSI(14) oversold (below 30); bearish MA stack (price below falling SMA(20) < SMA(200)); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum).
- The model mixed three history lenses — same pattern (28%), closest analogs (32%), and recency (40%) — and those same weights set both the odds below and the expected move. The strongest pull came from bars with the same indicator pattern: on average, the next 24h moved -0.62% in those cases.
- The heaviest single bucket is flat (sideways) at 46% — the largest share of probability mass, not a guarantee. 'Flat' means staying within about ±1.41% of the anchor price over 24h.
- Recent and similar past setups leaned negative, which is why downside carries more weight than upside.
Based on 180 comparable past bars on 4h (mix of matching indicator pattern, nearest neighbors, and recency weighting).
