Since then, the crypto has been stuck in a tight range between $2.06 and $2.60. Nearly 70% of all volume has been exchanged within this corridor, pointing to strong accumulation.
Renowned crypto analyst Rishad remarked on X that XRP is “chilling near a strong buy zone” and “starting to wake up.” He explained that the $2 level remains a critical buy zone, with further support at $1.90 and $1.44.
Good Morning 🌅 $XRP chilling near a strong buy zone and starting to wake up. If it breaks that weak resistance, we could see a nice move up.
$2 is a good spot to place buys. If it drops, watch $1.90 and $1.44.
Still looks bullish mid-term $2.70+ could be next. Let’s see what… pic.twitter.com/E4POZWbLH4

The analyst added that a breach of the $2.20–$2.30 resistance zone could lead to major upside momentum, potentially targeting the $2.70 level in the medium term.
XRP Price Outlook
On the daily XRP price chart, Bollinger Bands have recently started tightening, hinting at a potential breakout. Price is now pressing the mid-band (20-day SMA), suggesting bullish pressure is building.

The RSI stands at 54, suggesting that momentum is slightly bullish but not yet overbought. A sustained RSI push above would confirm buyer dominance. If XRP breaks above the $2.30, the next resistance lies at $2.60.
Meanwhile, the MACD is exhibiting a possible crossover just above the zero line, a sign of early positive momentum. However, a breakdown below $1.90 would invalidate the bullish structure and may trigger a further downfall.
