$XRP has returned to the $1.24-$1.25 region, putting the cryptocurrency at a technically important price area that previously served as a major pivot before a strong recovery.
$XRP is trading around $1.25 on Nov. 2, after falling steadily from its late-September highs. The latest pullback has taken the asset back toward a support zone that could determine whether the months-long correction is approaching exhaustion or has another leg lower remaining.
$XRP Returns to the Level That Preceded Its August Breakout

$XRP has returned to the $1.24-$1.25 support region after retreating from September highs, with $1.30-$1.33 emerging as the first recovery test.
The decline continued through July and eventually pushed $XRP toward the $1 psychological region in August. Buyers responded aggressively from that area, allowing $XRP to recover through $1.10 and eventually reclaim the $1.24-$1.25 zone.
Once $XRP cleared this region, momentum accelerated.
Price rapidly advanced toward $1.50 and temporarily reached approximately $1.70. A later rally again challenged the upper portion of the range, with $XRP approaching the $1.60 area before sellers regained control.
Since then, the structure has changed considerably.
$XRP has produced a sequence of lower highs while gradually surrendering the gains generated during the August rebound. That correction has now returned price to the same $1.24-$1.25 region that previously helped separate the accumulation phase from the stronger advance.
The Crypto Basic has previously identified the $1.25 region as an important $XRP rebound area, while the broader weekly structure also highlighted support extending from roughly $1.22 to $1.34.
Why $1.25 Could Become an $XRP Bottom
The importance of the current level comes from its previous role as resistance.
Before $XRP’s August expansion, the market struggled around the $1.24-$1.25 region. Once buyers decisively reclaimed it, price moved sharply higher.
$XRP is now approaching the same level from above, creating a potential support-resistance flip.
Price traded as low as approximately $1.2414 on Nov. 2, while remaining around $1.25. This places $XRP directly on the potential support rather than confirming that buyers have already established a durable bottom.
The current daily candle also remains unfinished, so the market still needs confirmation.
A sustained defense of $1.24-$1.25 followed by improving price structure would strengthen the case that the correction is bottoming in this area.
This also keeps focus on the $1.26 structural support previously discussed for $XRP.
$XRP Needs to Reclaim $1.30-$1.33
Defending $1.25 would only complete the first part of a potential reversal.
$XRP would next need to reclaim the $1.29-$1.33 region, an area that repeatedly influenced price throughout October.
A recovery above this zone would indicate that the market is beginning to reverse the sequence of lower highs.
Beyond that, $1.40-$1.50 represents the next resistance region, while the larger technical barrier remains around $1.60.
From a starting price of $1.25, a return to $1.60 would represent an advance of approximately 28%.
The bearish scenario is equally straightforward. A sustained break below $1.24 would weaken the potential bottom and increase the risk of $XRP revisiting lower support. The Crypto Basic has previously identified the $1.10 region as an important downside area if large-holder selling persists.
For now, $1.24-$1.25 is the immediate battleground. Holding the zone and reclaiming $1.30-$1.33 would provide the first meaningful evidence that $XRP has established a bottom.
