XRP (XRP) has rebounded nearly 25% from the $2 psychological level in the past week, with tailwinds from strong daily ETF inflows exceeding $164 million following the launch of Grayscale’s GXRP and Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ.
Key takeaways:
-
XRP stays bullish above $2, with chart technicals pointing toward $3.30–$3.50.
-
Resistance at $2.23–$2.50 could bring back the bears for a drop to $1.82.
Multiple XRP signals open the way for a 50% rally
On Friday, XRP defended the $1.95–$2.05 support band of a prevailing parallel channel.

The XRP/USD pair may gain as much as another 57% by year’s end if the setup plays out as intended.
Analyst Mikybull Crypto further cited the behavior of on-balance volume (OBV) as a key reason for the bullish shift.

For XRP, OBV bounced from a major support area right as the price touched $2. That’s important because it shows real spot buyers stepped in, instead of exiting, said Mikybull.

XRP’s current structure closely mirrors the setup that sparked its explosive 2017 breakout, according to analyst GalaxyBTC.
In a Tuesday post, he noted that the $2 region is behaving much like the mid-range support XRP reclaimed just before its historic rally eight years ago.

With prices stabilizing around $2 and buyers stepping back in, GalaxyBTC saw the potential for XRP to revisit the upper boundary near $3.30–$3.50, echoing the expansion phase that followed a similar technical setup in 2017.
What could change the bullish XRP view?
Despite the improving sentiment, XRP still needs to clear several technical hurdles to confirm a sustained upside move.
As of Tuesday, the token was testing the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level near $2.23 as resistance.

However, these EMAs sit almost exactly at the upper trendline of XRP’s descending channel, in a pattern that has guided the price lower since the summer.
If this pattern holds, XRP price will rotate back to the channel’s lower boundary, with a potential drop toward the 0.0 Fib line near $1.82 by the end of the year.

Such a move would weaken the bullish setup and suggest the bounce was only temporary or a “dead cat.”
