XRP Holders Brace for a Critical Move

Key Insights:

• XRP remains inside a descending channel with strong resistance ahead at the $2.20 level.
• The recent bounce from $1.83 support has sparked short-term interest among traders and analysts.
• A confirmed breakout above $1.95 could open the door to test $2.30 resistance soon.

XRP was trading at $1.89 with a 24-hour gain of 3.4%. Over the past week, the price has dropped by 6.1%. Despite the short-term bounce, the larger trend remains downward. Since mid-2025, XRP has been moving within a descending channel, marked by lower highs and lower lows.

This pattern reflects ongoing selling pressure. As long as the price stays within this channel, buyers are struggling to shift momentum. The upper edge of the channel is around $2.20. Traders are watching this level as a possible breakout point. A move above this range could change the current trend.

Resistance at $1.95 and Market Reaction

The 4-hour chart shows XRP bouncing from support between $1.83 and $1.85. This zone has triggered buyer interest in the past and did so again in recent trading. The price has since moved upward and is now testing resistance around $1.92 to $1.95.

 This red zone marks an area where sellers have previously stepped in. Trading volume has increased slightly, but a larger push may be needed for price to break and hold above this resistance.

Broader Chart Pattern Still Intact

The descending channel on the daily chart has contained XRP’s price for several months. Each time the price rises, it has been met with selling near the top of the channel. The lower boundary around $1.60 has held as support several times, but pressure remains.

Kamran Asghar commented, “Watch for the breakout at $2.20, the move will be legendary.” While the $2.20 level is being watched closely, there is no confirmation yet of a breakout. Until that happens, the current trend remains in place, and buyers are cautious.

Key Levels to Monitor

Support is holding around the $1.83 to $1.85 zone. Short-term resistance is at $1.95. If the price moves past that level, the next zone to watch is near $2.30. This area also saw high activity in the past and could act as another sell zone.

At press time, XRP is moving between these levels. Market participants are tracking volume and price closely. A clear breakout above $2.20 would take the price out of the descending pattern, but until that happens, sellers still have control.
