XRP is trading around $1.34 on the Oct. 22 Binance daily chart. The token is recovering from last week’s selloff but remains well below the late-September highs near $1.60.
XRP opened near $1.365 and reached about $1.369. It then fell to roughly $1.337 before trading near $1.344, down about 1.5% on the day.
The structure is weaker than it was in September. XRP has broken below the rising trendline that supported the rally from the August low near $1.00. Buyers have so far held the larger horizontal support area.
Chart Levels Traders Are Watching
The key level on the chart is $1.2510. It sits inside a demand area around $1.20-$1.30 that has drawn buyers repeatedly.
Chart-wise, the trendline break stings, but the bulls are still holding the floor. XRP needs to reclaim $1.40-$1.45 first. A push through $1.50 would put the $1.55-$1.67 resistance zone in play.
Momentum is cautious. The daily RSI is 44.65, below the neutral 50 mark but well above oversold. MACD is still bearish, with the line near -0.0294 and the signal near -0.0262.
Selling pressure has eased compared with last week, but there is no confirmed bullish reversal yet. One to watch next: a daily close above $1.40-$1.45.
Analyst XRP Update said on X that XRP is bouncing as expected. The account noted that the $1.25-$1.30 zone held and buyers are pushing toward $1.40, with $1.50 as the next target.

That leaves the week positive by roughly 508,700 XRP, worth about $649,000. The Oct. 12-16 week saw about 1.85 million XRP leave the funds, worth roughly $2.38 million.
Combined holdings are close to 1.19 billion XRP, or about $1.57 billion. One spot-ETF tracker puts cumulative net inflows near $1.81 billion. The average entry price across five spot funds is about $1.72, above the current price.
Ripple has kept expanding its institutional business. This week, Ripple Prime added 24/7 perpetual exposure to equities and other real-world assets, with RLUSD accepted as collateral.
That follows October deals with DriveWealth and Korea’s Meritz Securities. Standard Chartered also added support for RLUSD custody.
A package of XRP Ledger bug fixes set for this week has been pushed to November. Validator support temporarily fell below the required threshold. The fixes cover the proposed lending system and token permissions.
On-chain activity remains steady. The network processed about 4.19 million transactions in 24 hours, with roughly 98,845 active addresses and 3,536 new ones. XRPL DeFi TVL is near $41.1 million, and daily DEX volume is about $7.4 million.
XRPL stablecoin supply has fallen about 7% over seven days to roughly $1.05 billion. Around 22.60 billion XRP sits in identified exchange wallets.
On the downside, $1.30 is the first level to hold. A daily break below $1.2510 could open a move toward $1.15-$1.20.
