XRP (Ripple) is sitting at a crucial decision point that could shape its trajectory for months to come. Breaking above $2.73 would restore bullish momentum and potentially kick off a fresh uptrend, while failure to hold this zone might mean more sideways action ahead.
Technical Outlook
According to trader STEPH IS CRYPTO, XRP is hovering just beneath its Bull Market Support Band on the 3-day chart (XRP/USDT, Binance). This band, which ranges from $2.70 to $2.75, has historically acted as the dividing line between sustained rallies and deeper corrections. Past bounces from this zone have consistently led to significant price gains.
Right now, XRP is consolidating around $2.47 after a brief pullback earlier this month. The chart shows an upward trajectory pointing toward that $2.73 resistance—the key barrier bulls need to crack. A strong close above this level would confirm renewed buying interest and validate a reversal pattern that's been building. Momentum indicators on higher timeframes are starting to flatten out too, hinting that selling pressure may be fading.
Market Context and What's Next
- XRP's potential breakout aligns with broader crypto market stabilization
- Ripple's ongoing institutional partnerships continue supporting long-term confidence
- Regulatory clarity around XRP has been gradually improving
The next few sessions will be telling. If XRP manages a clean break and hold above the $2.70–$2.75 support band, it could lead the charge in the next leg up for major cryptocurrencies. However, a rejection at current levels might extend consolidation well into 2026. For now, XRP remains caught between two scenarios—poised for either a strong comeback or an extended period of range-bound trading.
