XRP is showing signs of improving market momentum after a combination of bullish technical indicators emerged alongside an increase in on-chain activity, although analysts caution that confirmation from price action and trading volume will be necessary before any trend reversal can be established.
Crypto market analyst Ali Martinez highlighted two technical signals on XRP’s daily chart that have historically preceded short-term price recoveries. At the same time, blockchain data indicates that daily active addresses on the XRP Ledger have risen significantly over the past two weeks, suggesting increased network participation.
While these indicators may point to strengthening sentiment, technical analysis is probabilistic rather than predictive, meaning no single pattern guarantees future price movements.
Technical Indicators Suggest Momentum Could Be Improving
According to Martinez, XRP’s daily chart is currently displaying a Tom DeMark (TD) Sequential “9” buy signal.
The TD Sequential indicator is a widely used technical analysis tool designed to identify points where prevailing market trends may be losing momentum. A completed “9” count often signals that selling pressure could be nearing exhaustion and has historically been associated with short-term relief rallies lasting between one and four trading sessions. However, the indicator is not infallible and is generally used alongside other technical and market data.
In addition to the TD Sequential signal, Martinez noted that XRP has formed a Morning Star Doji candlestick pattern over the past three daily sessions.

The Morning Star is traditionally viewed by technical analysts as a bullish reversal formation that can develop after sustained declines. The pattern typically consists of a large bearish candle, followed by indecision represented by a doji or small-bodied candle, and then a stronger bullish session that suggests buyers may be regaining control.
Together, these signals have prompted some traders to watch for a potential move toward the $1.30 price region if buying pressure continues to strengthen. However, that level represents a technical target rather than a forecast, and any advance would depend on sustained market demand and broader cryptocurrency sentiment.
Rising On-Chain Activity Adds to Market Interest
Beyond the technical picture, XRP’s network activity has also shown improvement.
According to blockchain data cited by Martinez, daily active addresses increased from approximately 23,000 on June 14 to nearly 39,500 over a two-week period.
An increase in active addresses is often interpreted as a sign of growing user participation on a blockchain network. Higher activity can reflect increased transfers, trading, payments, decentralized application usage, or other forms of on-chain engagement.
However, active address growth should not be viewed in isolation. Address activity can be influenced by exchanges, institutional transactions, automated services, or temporary spikes in network usage, and it does not necessarily translate directly into higher token prices.

The combination of improving technical indicators and rising network participation comes as XRP continues to benefit from broader institutional interest in blockchain-based payments and tokenized financial infrastructure.
In recent months, Ripple has expanded its regulated financial services footprint, secured additional regulatory approvals in Europe, and continued developing enterprise blockchain solutions. While these corporate developments are separate from XRP’s market performance, investors often monitor both ecosystem growth and on-chain metrics when assessing long-term demand.
For now, traders are likely to focus on whether XRP can maintain its recent improvement in network activity while attracting sufficient buying volume to confirm the emerging technical signals.
Should momentum strengthen, technical resistance levels will become the next area of interest. Conversely, if buying volume fails to materialize, the recent bullish formations could lose significance as market participants continue to navigate broader cryptocurrency volatility.
