XRP Price

The move started after XRP climbed above the $1.350 and $1.3550 levels. Buyers then pushed price through the $1.3650 resistance area.

On the hourly chart, XRP also broke above a bearish trend line with resistance near $1.3350. That breakout helped support the latest upward move.

After touching $1.3963, XRP pulled back slightly. Even so, price remained above $1.3550 and above the 100-hour simple moving average.

That keeps attention on the next resistance zone. Traders are now watching whether XRP can clear $1.3880 and then $1.40.

Resistance zone stays in focus

If XRP breaks above $1.40, the next upside levels are seen near $1.4250 and $1.4450. Beyond that, another hurdle is near $1.4650.

In the short-term, $XRP has 3 sell walls until $1.6.

Short-term chart levels show that buyers still have control for now. The pair is holding above the main moving average after the recent push higher.

Another market update said XRP gained 5.63% on the day to trade near $1.3848. That report placed XRP above its 20-day moving average, but still below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.

The same data showed the Ichimoku Kijun near $1.4429. That level stands above the market and adds to the resistance area overhead.

Support levels remain important

If XRP fails to break the $1.3880 resistance zone, price could turn lower again. The first support sits near $1.3575.

Below that, the next main support is near $1.3330. That level also lines up with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the move from $1.2940 to $1.3963.

A break below $1.3330 could expose $1.3080 and $1.3020. The next main floor below those levels is near $1.2750.

Another report said XRP has traded in a tight $1.37 to $1.39 range, even with stronger institutional inflow data. It also said US spot XRP ETFs have taken in more than $1 billion since launch, including $224 million in the latest week.

The same report said momentum indicators were mixed, with RSI leaning bullish but Stoch RSI showing overbought conditions. Analyst Anton Kharitonov said he remains defensive until XRP breaks clearly above $1.39.

Finance Bull said XRP was breaking out after the two-week ceasefire and Strait of Hormuz reopening, and suggested this could lead to two weeks of green candles. It was a strongly bullish post, but it did not include chart-based levels or measured targets beyond that view.

For now, the latest factual level remains clear: XRP is pressing against the $1.3880 to $1.40 resistance zone after rallying from $1.2940.
