XRP Loses Ground as Traders Watch for a Move Back Above $1.50

XRP fell about 3% to $1.47, moving below the $1.50 level that had served as an important price pivot. The decline now leaves XRP at a key technical level, with traders watching whether buyers can regain $1.50 or whether the selling pressure extends toward $1.40-$1.42.

The 200-day EMA remains near $1.37 and is the key level for XRP’s medium-term structure. A break below that indicator could shift the trend from bullish to neutral. XRP has already formed lower highs since reaching nearly $1.63 on September 23, while its subsequent attempt to reclaim $1.60 on September 25 was unsuccessful.

The weakness has developed gradually rather than through a single sharp sell-off. XRP declined from $1.55 to $1.52, then slipped below $1.50 before reaching $1.47. Each rebound has struggled to attract enough buying interest to sustain a recovery, allowing sellers to maintain control of the short-term move.

The decline follows a strong September rally that lifted XRP nearly 50% from its August low near $1.00. RSI is currently at 54, indicating neutral momentum and offering no clear overbought or oversold signal. As a result, the market is likely to remain focused on price levels rather than momentum indicators.

Spot XRP ETF flows have provided a separate source of market support, with trackers reporting cumulative inflows in the hundreds of millions of dollars over recent weeks. Some have interpreted the flows as evidence of ongoing institutional accumulation, but the data does not establish a direct connection between those inflows and Monday’s price move. The breakdown below $1.50 instead followed repeated failed resistance tests and weaker bid support.

XRP’s medium-term structure has not yet been invalidated. The token remains above the 200-day EMA near $1.37, which has started to turn upward for the first time since spring. Holding above the indicator keeps the longer-term trend intact despite the recent decline.

The token also remains above the descending trendline that was broken in mid-September after originating from the late-August spike toward $1.70. That breakout helped XRP advance toward $1.67. A newer descending trendline from the September 23 peak is now the next resistance that bulls need to overcome. If it continues to hold, its projected path could reach toward $1.20 by mid-November.

XRP Price Outlook: $1.50 or $1.37?

The immediate technical objective is a daily close back above $1.50. A successful recovery would reduce the significance of the latest breakdown and shift attention toward $1.55. Above that level, XRP would face the $1.60-$1.63 zone, which could bring the September 23 high back into focus.

If XRP fails to reclaim $1.50 in the coming sessions, the $1.40-$1.42 area could become the next support test. The 200-day EMA at $1.37 remains the more important medium-term threshold. A sustained break below it could shift the structure from bullish to neutral and expose XRP to $1.30, with $1.20 becoming relevant during a broader crypto-market sell-off.

The key range for the week is therefore $1.37-$1.60, with $1.50 positioned between the major support and resistance levels. A move toward $1.40-$1.42 followed by renewed buying would be consistent with a corrective phase within the broader uptrend, but further price action is needed to confirm that interpretation.

The $1.80-$2.00 area remains the medium-term upside target while XRP holds above $1.37. A decisive loss of that support would weaken the structure and shift the focus toward lower price levels.
