Liquidity partnership fails to lift Rocket Pool amid persistent selloff

Ripple and Arf established a partnership to broaden RLUSD stablecoin settlement liquidity on the XRP Ledger, specifically targeting payment companies with short-term financing and working capital needs, according to Crypto. Plans were also disclosed for Arf to adopt the blockchain’s native lending infrastructure, which is contingent upon validator approval. While this collaboration aims to enhance liquidity access for payment providers and institutional use cases on the XRP Ledger, the news did not generate immediate upward traction for Rocket Pool and coincided with ongoing selling pressure.

Technical breakdown deepens as momentum turns decisively bearish

On the hourly chart, RPL/USD is positioned beneath the MA-20 at $1.5793 and the MA-50 at $1.6004. The daily chart shows the pair also trading below the long-term MA-200 at $1.6935, indicating a notable loss of support. Ichimoku Kijun at $1.591 serves as immediate resistance. Momentum indicators signal continued weakness: MACD and ADX both confirm strong selling control, RSI is at 30 flagging near-oversold conditions, CCI registers a Sell, and Bull/Bear Power remains negative intraday. Stochastic RSI and the Awesome Oscillator are neutral, not indicating decisive direction.

Downside favored as rebound odds shrink within volatile trading range

Over the next two to three trading days, the anticipated price range lies between $1.4736 and $1.585, reflecting typical volatility around current levels. The probability of a rebound above resistance is considered very low, while the likelihood of further declines is high. The baseline scenario expects a sideways pattern within this corridor; a bullish case requires a sustained breakout past $1.591, whereas a bearish extension may develop if support fails and downside momentum resumes.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees persistent technical weakness in Rocket Pool beneath all major moving averages. He notes that momentum remains negative despite broader institutional developments, as recent news around Ripple and Arf failed to improve market sentiment for RPL. The analyst expects continued sideways to downward price action, with low odds for a bullish reversal until key resistance is reclaimed. "Until $1.591 is broken to the upside, I remain cautious and defensive on RPL."

Previously it was reported that Rocket Pool had shifted from a bearish phase to a period of short-term bullish consolidation. The latest price action now signals a reversal of that trend, with continued downside momentum making the $1.4736 support level a key threshold for traders to monitor in the coming days.
