Here’s Where Ripple’s XRP Price Could Be Headed This Week

XRP is in a strange spot right now. On paper, things have never looked better, but the price isn’t reflecting it yet. For years, Ripple has faced uncertainty, but it has now overcome the biggest hurdles, and that is starting to change the way institutions think about XRP.

Regulators gave Ripple’s XRP the green light in mid-March 2026 by designating it as a digital commodity. That alone removed a major cloud that had been hanging over the asset since 2020. On top of that, the upcoming CLARITY Act could lock this status in and give the market even more confidence.

However, institutional interest is picking up. Several spot XRP ETFs are already live, pulling in over $1 billion in inflows, and big names are silently building exposure. Activity on the XRP Ledger is also rising fast, with transaction counts hitting levels not seen in over a year.

But despite all this, the XRP price hasn’t followed through. It is still down heavily this year, mainly because long-term holders have been selling into every rally. Add in slower ETF inflows and a shaky macro environment, and you get a market that looks strong fundamentally but feels stuck in practice.

What the XRP Chart Is Showing Right Now

We took a look at the daily chart and XRP is trading around $1.33, and the structure is pretty clear, it’s been in a steady downtrend since topping out near $3.60.

Each bounce has been weaker than the last, and the XRP price keeps forming lower highs, which tells you buyers are still hesitant to step in aggressively.

There’s also a noticeable support zone around $1.28–$1.30. Price has tested this area multiple times and managed to hold so far, but it’s not exactly a strong bounce each time. On the upside, the $1.40–$1.50 region is acting like a ceiling, where sellers, likely large holders, keep offloading.

This is also confirmed by the indicators. The RSI is at the lower region, indicating low momentum in the market. The CCI is also in the negative region, which suggests that the market is still bearish in nature.

The volumes have been steady in this stock, indicating that there is no strong sentiment either from the bulls or the bears. The OBV trend is also falling, indicating that money is moving out of the market and not into it.

Right now, the XRP price is essentially being stuck in a place between two key levels. If buyers can manage to break above $1.40 and hold it, that will essentially be a good indication of a change in momentum. Moving above the $1.50 levels could actually open up a window for a stronger rally.

If the current levels fall below $1.28, it will change a lot. That would likely trigger another wave of selling, with the next area of interest sitting closer to $1.10–$1.15.

XRP Price Targets for This Week

If this structure is maintained, then we would expect XRP to continue trading sideways in the short term. A reasonable expectation for a base case would be a trading range between $1.28 and $1.45 as we await further momentum.

If we get more buyers coming in and breaking through resistance, we could see the XRP price rise to $1.55-$1.70 in a short time. That’s where things start to look more bullish again.

On the flip side, if selling pressure continues and support breaks, a drop toward $1.10 isn’t out of the question.

For now, this is a classic “wait and see” market. The fundamentals are strong, but until demand clearly beats the selling pressure, the XRP price will probably keep moving slow.
