XRP finds itself at a crossroads as the price returns to a critical support zone that's held firm since August. After forming lower highs beneath a descending trendline for weeks, the digital asset is now testing the $2.65–$2.70 base. This classic triangle setup is nearing its breaking point, where a single decisive move could shape the trend for weeks to come.
Make-or-Break Moment
XRP is back at its red support zone around $2.65–$2.70, a level that's caught the price multiple times since summer. Chart analyst Xoom points out this return comes after yet another bounce off the downward-sloping resistance. If we see a daily close below $2.63, that's your breakdown signal—and it opens the door to $2.25, possibly even $1.95–$2.00 as the next landing spots. But if this floor holds? Expect a push back toward $2.85–$2.90 where that descending line is waiting.

What Bulls Need to See
For buyers to take charge, they've got a clear checklist: punch through the descending trendline around $2.85–$2.90, reclaim the psychologically important $3.00 mark, then break past $3.10–$3.20 to target the upper resistance zone at $3.55–$3.65. Until then, any rallies are just bounces inside a larger holding pattern.
The triangle's structure suggests a measured drop to roughly $2.20–$2.25 if support cracks. Flip side? A clean break above $3.00 could send XRP testing that $3.55–$3.65 supply zone where sellers showed up before.
XRP's path forward hinges on crypto market mood, dollar movements, and the regulatory story that never seems to end. The liquidity pockets visible on the chart explain why $2.65 keeps catching dips and why $3.00+ keeps pushing price back down. Whatever breaks this standoff—whether it's broad market momentum or Ripple-specific news—will likely come fast.
