XRP experienced a volatile trading session, fluctuating between $2.76 and $2.86, with geopolitical and monetary policy uncertainties impacting the crypto markets.
Whale accumulation of 340 million XRP suggests institutional interest despite broader market selling, with analysts divided on potential price movements.
Key resistance levels are identified at $2.86 and $3.30, with traders watching for a sustained close above these points to signal momentum continuation.
- XRP traded in a volatile 23-hour session from Sept. 2 at 03:00 to Sept. 3 at 02:00, moving between $2.76 and $2.86.
- Geopolitical and monetary policy uncertainty continue to drive volatility across crypto markets. Fed rate-cut expectations remain in flux after inflation data releases, adding to liquidity stress.
- Whale accumulation of 340M XRP ($960M) over the past two weeks suggests institutions are positioning on weakness despite broader selling since July.
- Analysts remain split: some flag downside risks toward $2.50 if $2.76 breaks, while others cite long-term breakout setups with targets above $4.00 if $3.30 resistance clears.
- XRP opened near $2.79 and closed around $2.82, up 2% on the session.
- Intraday low at $2.76 (12:00 GMT) was quickly defended with volume spikes above 180M, well above the 24h average of 78M.
- Price then advanced to $2.86 during the 13:00–14:00 recovery, establishing resistance.
- Final hour saw another push from $2.83 to $2.86 with 3M+ tokens per minute traded, confirming institutional participation.
- Support: $2.76–$2.78 defended on heavy volume. Next downside guardrails sit at $2.70 and $2.50.
- Resistance: $2.86 near-term cap; $3.00 and $3.30 remain key breakout levels.
- Momentum: RSI steady in mid-50s, showing neutral-to-bullish bias.
- MACD: Histogram converging toward bullish crossover, supportive of accumulation thesis.
- Patterns: Symmetrical triangle under $3.00 remains intact. Higher lows point to growing pressure for a breakout if $2.86 is cleared.
- Can $2.76 continue to hold under repeat tests, or does a breakdown open $2.50 risk?
- A sustained close above $2.86, then $3.00, as signals for momentum continuation.
- Whale and ETF-related flows: October deadlines for spot ETF rulings could act as a catalyst.
- Whether volume remains elevated or fades back toward averages, determining strength of the breakout setup.
