XRP News Today: XRP's $2.65 Make-or-Break Moment: Bulls Target $3.00, Bears $2.50

XRP's price has reached a critical juncture as the $2.65 level, previously a strong support, now acts as formidable resistance. Analyst EgragCrypto highlighted this reversal in October 2025, emphasizing that a 3-day close above $2.65 with a full-body candle would transform the level into support, potentially unlocking a path to $2.85 near the 21 EMA and a broader $3.00–$3.10 range XRP Price Today Tests $2.65; 3-Day Close Would Flip Support And Aim $2.85^[1]. This shift reflects a broader technical setup where XRP has oscillated between $2.50 and $2.85, with volume spikes confirming breakouts if buyers maintain control above $2.65 XRP Fades Below $2.60 as $63M Whale Sales Hit Binance^[2].

The token's recent volatility underscores the significance of this level. Despite a 3.66% daily gain on October 14, XRP remained 13.63% lower for the week, reflecting ongoing market uncertainty. Analysts view the current consolidation as a pause before a renewed test of $2.65 resistance. A failure to breach this level risks a reversion to $2.50–$2.60, where large whale activity historically defended $2.60 XRP Price Today Tests $2.65; 3-Day Close Would Flip Support And Aim $2.85^[1]. Conversely, a decisive move above $2.85 could validate a breakout, aligning with bullish projections toward $3.00.

Recent price action has drawn attention to XRP's liquidity dynamics. During a sharp sell-off on Binance Futures, liquidity evaporated rapidly, with bid-side depth dropping from $50 million to near zero within minutes. This "air pocket" scenario saw prices plummet from $2.50 to $1.19 as market makers retreated, illustrating the fragility of leveraged markets during high-stress events XRP Price Today Tests $2.65; 3-Day Close Would Flip Support And Aim $2.85^[1]. Such liquidity shocks reinforce the importance of institutional participation in stabilizing XRP's price, particularly near key levels like $2.65.

The broader market context adds complexity. XRP's rebound from a 41% intraday collapse to $1.64-driven by U.S.-China tariff announcements and heavy futures liquidations-culminated in a close above $2.47. This recovery, fueled by institutional bids, marked one of the largest price ranges in XRP's 2025 trading history. Analysts attribute the stabilization to spot exposure rebuilds and improved sentiment around Ripple's banking integrations . However, key resistance at $3.05 remains pivotal, with potential upside projections to $3.65–$4.00 contingent on sustained momentum.

Technical indicators further underscore the strategic importance of $2.65. A sustained close above this level would not only flip it into support but also align with historical parallels. For instance, CRYPTOWZRD noted that XRP's current consolidation within a $2.00–$2.40 symmetrical triangle mirrors its 2017 breakout pattern. If history repeats, a move above $3.50 could trigger a parabolic rally toward $5.00 or $8.00 XRP Price Today Tests $2.65; 3-Day Close Would Flip Support And Aim $2.85^[1].

The path forward hinges on institutional confidence and order book resilience. Whale activity, including a $63 million transfer to Binance, has signaled short-term distribution, complicating bullish scenarios XRP Fades Below $2.60 as $63M Whale Sales Hit Binance^[2]. However, high-volume dips near $2.55 suggest continued institutional buying, which could stabilize the price and facilitate another test of $2.65 resistance. Traders are closely monitoring $2.55 support and the $2.65–$2.66 resistance zone for signs of a reversal.
