XRP is trying to stabilize around $1.48 after a sharp pullback, with traders watching whether the token can reclaim the $1.55 to $1.65 band that would keep a move toward $1.80 alive this week.
XRP Holds $1.48 as Traders Watch $1.65
The level matters because XRP has repeatedly stalled near resistance while broader crypto markets stay choppy. A confirmed close above $1.65 would likely force short-term sellers to cover and could draw momentum buyers back in, while a failure to hold $1.55 risks another leg down toward $1.48 and deeper support.
At the center of the debate is liquidity. On-chain data show Binance’s XRP reserves have climbed to about 2.68 billion tokens, the highest since June, after a stretch of declines, with deposits running 663% above the quarterly baseline. That does not automatically mean tokens are headed for sale, but it does indicate more XRP sitting on a major trading venue, where it can quickly become supply if sentiment turns.
That backdrop makes the rally fragile even as some traders point to expanding participation. XRP had pushed above $1.64 at one point alongside 3,647 new wallets, but the move has not yet produced a decisive breakout above the upper end of the recent range. The token’s recent price action shows volume rising on rebounds, but not enough to fully erase the overhead supply that has capped multiple attempts higher.
The technical picture is mixed. XRP’s latest print at $1.48 leaves it below the $1.55 to $1.56 area that had acted as resistance, and the move has left traders focused on whether that zone can now flip into support. The broader setup suggests a market trying to digest the recent upswing while waiting for a clearer catalyst.
One possible catalyst is the reported Evernorth financing, including a $30 million convertible note tied to XRP purchases ahead of a Nasdaq vote. If confirmed, that would add a near-term liquidity bid and could help the token retest the $1.65 area. For now, investors are left with a narrow range, rising exchange reserves and a market that needs either stronger buying or a clean technical breakout to justify the $1.80 target.
The next move likely depends on whether XRP can hold above support long enough to absorb the new supply on exchanges. Traders will watch the $1.55 level first, then $1.65, with the Nasdaq-related Evernorth vote the most immediate event that could shift the tape.
