XRP Holds Near $2.40 as Traders Gauge Breakdown Risk and ETF Tailwinds

The next move hinges on the $2.35–$2.40 level, which many view as the line between a selloff and a renewed push fueled by institutional products.

Overview

  • XRP is compressing in a $2.33–$2.44 range, with charts showing a descending/symmetrical setup and nearby resistance clustered around $2.72–$2.90.
  • Technical watchers say a loss of $2.35–$2.40 could open a 25–30% drop toward roughly $1.70–$1.80, while a daily close above about $2.74 could target $3.00–$3.20.
  • A potential daily death cross is nearing as the 50- and 200-day moving averages converge, and the 2021 occurrence preceded a 65% decline.
  • On-chain signals lean cautious, with $16.26 million in Oct. 23 net exchange outflows and continued profit-taking by co-founder Chris Larsen, who has realized about $764 million since 2018.
  • Institutional interest remains a counterweight, with XRP ETFs reporting sizable assets and new filings cited by analysts, though any SEC approvals are still unconfirmed.
