XRP pauses after short-term profit-taking despite strength versus bitcoin

XRP formed a short-term golden cross on the four-hour XRP/bitcoin chart, but the price slipped soon after, prompting caution about further gains. Despite the pullback, XRP has risen steadily versus bitcoin since Sept. 16 and remains above key moving averages on both four-hour and daily charts. In dollar terms, XRP climbed to $1.65 and posted its first daily golden cross of 2026. Traders are focused on resistance around $1.60 and signs of profit-taking.
