Despite a massive 24-hour trading volume spike to $3.05 billion for XRP, the digital asset is struggling to break free of the $2.67 resistance area, while the technical indicators suggest that the accumulation process is still ongoing.

As of press time, the token trades at $2.53 with a market cap of around $16.7 billion. The momentum is neutral, and the price is consolidating below the critical resistance level. The crypto ranks among the top coins by market cap.

The last 24 hours have seen a trading volume of $3.05 billion, pointing to a volume-to-market cap ratio of 1.82% during the price discovery process.

According to on-chain information, big investors are selling off their XRP positions significantly, which could result in lower prices.

Price Action: Resistance Test and Support Levels

XRP is now trying hard to hold its ground above the $2.50 support level but is still facing major technical difficulties. The coin has dropped 4.0% in the last 24 hours, which is a testament to the continuing market uncertainty.

The price range for October 30, 2025, is from around $2.52 to $2.66, with the coin attempting to keep its upward trend against the sellers but failing.

Despite the recent stumbling, over longer period XRP has been very strong and has made a 384.73% increase in the last year, according to OKX data.

This is a lot more than what the traditional stock market can offer and it shows that the token has a strong growth potential even if it is currently consolidating.

Key Resistance: The $2.67 mark is the point where the XRP price has been rejected most recently and, thus, it has become the area that limits further upward moves of the coin.

Critical Support: The area around $2.50-$2.55 is now the main support coming from where the resistance that was broken in October and the breakout had occurred had turned into support.

Technical Structure: Neutral Indicators and Pattern Formation

Breaking point is what the technical picture of XRP is pointing to. The coin is at the moment inside what the technical traders define as a descending triangle structure with 50-day and 200-day moving averages being the most important levels for guidance.

This figure normally signifies consolidation before the subsequent strong move, though the direction is not known yet.

Momentum tools tell the story differently. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 49.02, which is very close to the mid-point and, thus, it is considered neutral, i.e. no overbought or oversold situations exist.

In a similar vein, the MACD tool is nearly at the zero level, thus, the market being unsure and having no clear direction.

The formation of the October month ending inversion head and shoulders pattern helped initially to push prices up to the $2.57 zone but the further buying that usually follows the breakout has been very scant and thus, the momentum has not been supported.

By now, the pattern bullish potential is quite doubtful because the buyers have not been able to regain the initiative yet.

Market Context: Exchange Outflows and Accumulation Signals

Besides the price changes, on-chain indicators are meters that could lead to a better understanding of the market. Bullish sentiment may be inferred from exchange reserve data that illustrate a near 3.36% decrease in the amount of XPR held on exchanges between the beginning and the middle of October.

The diminished exchange supply is often accompanied by the accumulation period as the tokens are transferred from exchange wallets to long-term holdings.

As far as the crypto market is concerned, it is still dealing with a risky situation. Risk-off signals from traditional risk proxies, like high-yield bond ETFs and banking sector funds, have been observed recently which in turn, have been a cause of the decline in risky assets such as cryptocurrencies, among others.

The macroeconomic caution has been the main factor responsible for the lack of cheer in the digital asset markets although there have been good fundamentals for XRP in particular.

In fact, regulatory matters are still a major factor influencing the investment case for XRP. The end of the SEC vs. Ripple Labs lawsuit in 2025 with the two sides dropping appeals and accepting the court's decision that XRP is not a security gave the biggest burden away.

That, in turn, has given the market regulatory clarity. In addition to that, the utility and the possible use cases of the ecosytem have been broadened after Ripple Labs' launched the RLUSD stablecoin in 2025.

Price Forecast: Diverging Analyst Projections

Market analysts have different opinions on where XRP is going to be at the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. Their hypotheses and the way they do work are different, which causes the different predictions.

Conservative View: CoinCodex foresees the XRP to be on the rise but not very much, thus, the token's worth may be around $3.30 by December 2025, which would mean just a 30% price increase from the present level. The growth anticipates by their study is slow and steady rather than sudden and exponential.

Bullish Scenario: Cryptomus, on the other hand, provides an even brighter picture, thus, if the regulatory and adoption-related factors become the catalysts, XRP's price might go up to $4.56 by December 2025. This is the forecast that implies the increase would be more than 79% as compared to the present price level.

Technical Perspective: The current triangular consolidation seen on XRP, according to LiteFinance, is crucial as the next move can be determined by whether the upper boundary is broken or a support level is violated resulting in a drop to around $2.40-$2.42.

Predictions for 2026 are even more disparate. CoinCodex sees the token slowly climbing the ladder until it reaches $4.58 at the end of 2026 while Cryptomus speculates that XRP might hit $6.13 if institutional demand were to pick up and regulatory clarity were to be maintained.

The closest future for XRP is dependent on holding on to the support at $2.50 zone. If the price can be consistently higher than $2.67 with the volume increasing, the momentum may be able to reach the $2.80-2.90 range.

On the other hand, a break below $2.50 could see the $2.40-2.42 range, where the accumulation took place, being tested again.

Long-term investors should keep an eye on two key factors: continued exchange outflows that signal accumulation, and progress regarding XRP ETF applications. The green light for spot XRP ETFs most probably will be followed by a rush of institutional money inflows, thus, the price might be the $3.50-$4.00 territory.
