XRP’s Price Chart Gets Resuscitated. Can Ripple’s New Chance Turn Into a Comeback?

XRP jumps 12% in a day, testing a major resistance zone near $2.6 as traders watch to see if the move marks the start of a true breakout or just another short-lived rally.

XRP (XRP-USD) is finally showing signs of life. After a stretch of tight trading and fading momentum, the token jumped 12% in a single day, sparking talk of a potential breakout from its long grind lower. The question now is whether this move is just another head fake or the start of a genuine comeback.

The daily chart shows XRP pressing up against a familiar ceiling near $2.5, where a cluster of technical hurdles has stalled every recent attempt higher. This zone brings together the 200-day moving average, an old supply block, and the top boundary of a descending wedge, which is the type of pattern that often breaks higher once pressure builds.

A daily close above $2.6 would be the signal bulls have been waiting for. That would open the door toward the $2.8–$3.1 range, a region last seen before this year’s mid-cycle pullback. Fail to clear it, though, and XRP risks slipping back to the $2.3–$2.2 area that’s acted as its safety net.

Momentum is quietly improving. The RSI has climbed above its midpoint, showing a shift in control toward buyers. But traders want volume to back the move before calling it a breakout.

The Make-or-Break Moment Sits around $2.60

On shorter time frames, the price action looks like a coiled spring. The four-hour chart shows a bullish divergence in the RSI after XRP swept liquidity below $2.2, hinting that sellers may be running out of fuel. Now the token is knocking on the door of the $2.55–$2.6 zone, which lines up with its last lower high.

If XRP can flip that level into support, the next stop could be $2.8. But another rejection there could confirm this area as a short-term top, dragging prices back toward mid-range support.

After weeks of compression, the setup looks like a classic breakout-retest scenario. The coming sessions will show whether XRP’s 12% jolt is the start of something bigger, or just another tease for the bulls.

At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $2.5413.
