$XRP is trading at $1.46, up 9.4% over the past 24 hours, after breaking through a downward trend line it had been stuck under for days. The move took $XRP from roughly $1.33 to $1.46, one of its strongest single-day gains recently.
A Key Support Level Was Just Defended
$XRP had dropped to a critical support level around $1.36 the day before, a level that needed to hold or risk a deeper fall toward $1.27. $XRP held that line, then pushed higher, an important sign that buyers stepped back in.
What Needs to Happen Next
If $XRP can close today’s session above the resistance line it just broke, the next real target becomes $1.54. But $XRP still hasn’t cleared a bigger obstacle above that, a long-term resistance zone between $1.50 and $1.80 that has capped rallies for months.
Until $XRP breaks cleanly above that zone with real follow-through, the bounce could still turn out to be temporary rather than the start of a bigger rally.
Why This Moment Matters
$XRP is currently sitting in a tight, undecided zone. If buyers keep control and push above resistance, the path opens toward $1.80 to $2, an area that acted as strong support for most of 2025 before $XRP lost it and fell sharply, eventually bottoming near 98 cents.
But if $XRP fails to clear resistance and starts drifting sideways for a couple of weeks instead, a retest of that low remains a real possibility, echoing a similar pattern that played out after $XRP’s 2022 bottom, when the token rallied, stalled out in a similar zone, and eventually slid back down.
Bottom Line for September 4
$XRP has bounced back impressively, but the token hasn’t proven the rally is durable yet. There’s real hope $XRP breaks out for good, but if it stalls and drifts sideways over the next couple of weeks instead of pushing higher with strength, that wouldn’t be a reason to panic, it would simply mean $XRP needs more time to build a base before its next real move.
