- A close below $1.34 could expose XRP to a drop toward $1.30, with $1.20 possible if selling continues

XRP slipped 1.38% to $1.3592 on September 1, pulling back from August’s recovery as rising US Treasury yields pushed investors away from riskier assets.
The token had briefly touched $1.69 during August before cooling off. It has since been trading in a tight range between $1.35 and $1.40.
Despite the price dip, demand through US spot XRP ETFs remained strong. The week ending August 28 saw net inflows of $110.49 million — the highest weekly figure of 2026 so far.
On August 31 alone, daily inflows came in at $5.64 million. Canary’s XRPC led with $4.71 million, and Bitwise added around $930,000.
Total ETF assets reached $1.45 billion, equal to about 1.67% of XRP’s roughly $85 billion market cap. Bitwise led all funds with $507.23 million in total assets, followed by Franklin at $370.02 million and Canary at $341.60 million.
The 10-year Treasury yield climbed toward 4.80%, its highest point since January 2025. When government bonds offer higher returns, investors tend to move money out of crypto.
Crypto analyst XRP Update posted on X that XRP is “running out of room,” noting the 4-hour chart is squeezing between support near $1.35 and descending resistance around $1.40. The analyst said a clean break from this structure could trigger the next major move.

What the Charts Show
The RSI stood at 39.56, below neutral but not yet in oversold territory. The MACD line was at -0.0088, just above its signal line near -0.0090.
A close below $1.34 could open the way to $1.30. If selling pressure increases, $1.20 becomes the next level to watch.
On the upside, reclaiming $1.38 could point XRP back toward $1.50, with $1.60 as a further target.
Elliott Wave Outlook and Regulatory News
TradingView contributor Kap_Waves identified a potential Wave 2 correction forming, with a projected pullback toward $1.15–$1.25 before any larger move. The analysis places Wave 3 targets at $2.90 and $3.10, though this is a technical scenario and not a confirmed path.
Senator Kevin Cramer said the CLARITY Act has a strong chance of advancing in the September 15 Senate vote. Kalshi traders assigned a 91% probability to a Senate vote before October, while Polymarket put the odds of the bill becoming law in 2026 at just 13%.
The SEC also proposed rules supporting blockchain use within securities transactions, a development that could signal regulatory progress even as Congress continues debating crypto legislation.
XRP was trading at $1.39 as of the latest data available.
