XRP News Today: Institutional Moves and Fed Watch: XRP at a Crossroads of Caution and Crossover

XRP has shown signs of increased institutional interest and accumulation, with whale addresses accumulating approximately 340 million tokens, valued at around $960 million, over the past two weeks. This activity, observed from Sept. 1 at 03:00 to Sept. 2 at 02:00, has pushed the token’s price to a 24-hour high of $2.83, with a 3% increase noted in the same period. However, the broader market remains under pressure from historical September volatility and regulatory uncertainties, particularly surrounding the pending applications for XRP ETFs from firms such as Grayscale and Bitwise.

Technical indicators suggest a mixed outlook for XRP. The RSI is currently stable in the mid-50s, indicating a neutral-to-bullish bias, while the MACD is converging toward a potential bullish crossover. Price movements have remained within a symmetrical triangle pattern, consolidating below the $3.00 level. A break above $3.30 could potentially target $4.00 or higher. Conversely, a breakdown below the $2.70–$2.74 support level would expose the token to further declines toward $2.50. Analysts remain divided, with some projecting a decline to $1.00 following the July peak at $3.65, while others maintain higher long-term price targets of $7–$8.

The upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision on Sept. 17 is expected to play a critical role in shaping XRP’s short-to-medium-term trajectory. According to the CME FedWatch tool, there is an 87.6% probability that the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points, which could provide a much-needed boost to risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. Such a move could see increased demand for XRP, especially if market sentiment improves and aligns with historical September gains. XRP has posted positive returns in the last three consecutive Septembers, with gains of 46.2% in 2022, 0.42% in 2023, and 7.98% in 2024.

In response to growing investor interest, FindMining has launched new high-yield cloud mining contracts for XRP and Dogecoin, offering a range of options for different types of investors. The platform, which is regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), reported over 9.4 million registered users globally and operates 135 mining farms across 175 countries. The company claims its computing power represents 5.5% of the global Bitcoin network hash rate. Contracts vary by investment level and return, with daily returns ranging from $50.75 to $3,960, depending on the contract type and investment size.

While cloud mining platforms like FindMining continue to attract investors, the broader XRP market faces challenges including seasonal weakness and regulatory scrutiny. Retail interest remains elevated, with open interest near $8 billion. However, the RSI has dropped from 88 in July to 39, indicating fading bullish momentum. A sustained close above the $2.76 100-day EMA could signal a reversal of the bearish trend, with key resistance levels at $2.83 and $3.00–$3.30 being closely watched by traders.
