XRP is at $1.006. Down 3.2% on the day, Ripple’s token is sitting right on top of the $1 mark — a level traders have watched for months. One hard push in either direction and things get interesting fast.
The setup is pretty simple. XRP has been grinding sideways while Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have managed to post gains. Last week alone, XRP dropped roughly 5% even as ETF inflows kept coming into the broader crypto market. That kind of divergence gets people talking. Analysts are watching the $1 floor closely because a clean break below it would likely pull in more sellers fast, while a push above near-term resistance could flip the narrative entirely. Right now, the market is basically coiled — narrow range, no clear direction, traders waiting for something to force their hand.
Support, Resistance, and the Wave 3 Question
Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO laid out the levels pretty clearly. For XRP to kick off what he calls a Wave 3 rally targeting the $3.00–$3.60 range, it first needs to clear resistance at $1.30–$1.60, and then push through $1.96. Neither of those is happening right now. Current support sits between $1.00 and $0.95. If that holds, fine. If it doesn’t, the next floors are at $0.75 and then $0.60–$0.52 — and that’s a long way down from here.
TradingView data puts the immediate resistance at $1.06. Break that, and $1.35 comes into view, then $1.64 after that. CoinGecko’s numbers put XRP’s trading band between $1.0038 and $1.0218 on the day — barely any room to move. That kind of tight range isn’t a calm market. It’s a market that can’t decide.
Three scenarios are basically on the table. Bullish: XRP clears $1.06, pushes through $1.30–$1.60, and EGRAG CRYPTO’s Wave 3 target becomes a real conversation. Base case: XRP keeps bouncing between $0.95 and $1.06, waiting on some catalyst that hasn’t shown up yet. Bearish: $1.00 breaks, sellers take control, and the $0.75 level gets tested. Below that, $0.60–$0.52 isn’t off the table.
No details from Ripple on what might act as that catalyst. No comment at press time.
XRP Ledger Growth Hasn’t Moved the Price
Here’s what’s strange. The XRP Ledger is actually doing well. Tokenized assets on the ledger have surged to $4.06 billion across 373 assets. Back in January 2025, that number was $73 million. That’s not a small jump — that’s a completely different order of magnitude in under two years. The ecosystem is growing. Real activity is happening on the network.
And yet the token price won’t move. That gap between fundamental growth and price action is what’s keeping a lot of investors on the sidelines. It’s hard to commit to a position when the underlying network is expanding but the market keeps shrugging. Some traders probably see that disconnect as an opportunity. Others see it as a warning sign that something else is holding XRP back — regulatory overhang, lack of fresh retail interest, or just the absence of a clear narrative in a market that runs on narratives.
The ETF inflow story hasn’t helped XRP the way it’s helped some of its peers. Bitcoin and Ethereum have both benefited from institutional flows tied to spot ETF products. XRP doesn’t have that same dynamic working in its favor right now. So even when the broader market catches a bid, XRP kind of gets left behind.
Bitcoin Hyper Draws Presale Attention
Worth noting: while XRP stalls, some capital seems to be rotating toward earlier-stage infrastructure plays. Bitcoin Hyper is one example getting attention right now. The project is building a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution with full SVM integration — the same virtual machine architecture that powers Solana — and it’s claiming it can outperform Solana in transaction speed while keeping Bitcoin’s security model intact. Bold claim. Unclear yet whether the tech delivers.
But the presale numbers are hard to ignore. Bitcoin Hyper has raised over $33 million so far. That’s a meaningful amount of money flowing into a project that doesn’t have a live product yet. It says something about where some investors’ heads are — they’d rather bet on infrastructure upside than sit in an asset like XRP that’s been range-bound for months.
That’s not necessarily a knock on XRP. Early-stage presales carry their own risks. But the contrast is real. XRP has the ecosystem, the ledger activity, the history — and it can’t break $1.06. Bitcoin Hyper has a pitch deck and $33 million raised.
The $1 level is probably the only number that matters for XRP traders right now. EGRAG CRYPTO puts the next real decision point at $1.30–$1.60. Tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger: $4.06 billion.
