  • A clear move above $2.70 may drive the price toward $2.80, potentially reaching $2.850 or even $2.880 in the near term, with $3.00 being the next major hurdle for bulls.

Another Decline?

If XRP doesn’t clear the $2.650 resistance zone, another decline may follow. Initial support is near the $2.50 level, with the next significant support at $2.480.
