As of April 25, 2026, XRP is trading near $1.43, staying in a narrow range between about $1.35 and $1.45 for the past month. After a turbulent 2025 with a peak close to $3.65 and steep drops, the price has steadied since hitting lows between $1.15 and $1.28 earlier this year. Lately, price changes have been small, with a short-lived move above $1.50 on April 17—the first time it reached that level in 2026.

For XRP to reach the important $2.90 mark, which was a major resistance in 2025, buyers need to break through several levels. The first step is to move past resistance at $1.445 to $1.50, then push through $1.60 to $1.75, and finally the $1.80 to $1.90 area near the 200-day moving average. If the price holds above $1.90, it could pave the way toward $2.25 to $2.90 and possibly higher.

Bullish catalysts include:

  • Progress on the CLARITY Act in the Senate, with possible action in May that could bring more regulatory clarity.
  • Strong inflows into XRP ETFs, with over $65 million added in April 2026, putting it on track for the largest monthly net inflow this year.
  • Large investors are accumulating XRP, XRPL adoption is increasing, and a shift away from high Bitcoin dominance could also support the price.

 

On the other hand, sellers are defending the $1.445 to $1.50 range. If the price falls below $1.35 to $1.37, or especially below $1.28 to $1.30, it could quickly drop toward $1.15 or even lower.

XRP’s market cap is close to $88 billion, with high fear and uncertainty in the market and technical indicators showing a neutral stance (RSI around 55). The price could be ready for a big move. Cautious targets for 2026 are between $1.60 and $2.50, while more optimistic scenarios look for $3.50 to $5.00 if positive factors come together. Keep an eye on FOMC decisions, regulatory news, and Bitcoin’s performance for the next big shift.
