- XRP price today presses into $2.65 resistance on a 3-day chart; a full body candle 3D above it could flip the level to support and set a path to $3.
- A $2.60 to $2.85 range framed the day; volume confirms breakout if buyers hold $2.65 on a close.
- Risk stays invalidated below $2.50; upside checkpoints sit at $2.85 near the 21 EMA and the $3.00 to $3.10 band.
XRP’s recent price action drew renewed attention as analysts highlighted a key level at $2.65. The token traded near $2.60 after a modest bounce from last week’s selloff.
Despite a 3.66% daily gain, XRP stayed 13.63% lower on the week, which kept volatility high. Several desks framed the move as a pause before the next test of XRP $2.65 resistance.
Why $2.65 Matters For XRP Today
Analyst EgragCrypto flagged $2.65 as the XRP key level $2.65. What acted as strong support now worked as resistance. The trigger is explicit: a 3-day close above $2.65 with a full body candle 3D. If buyers flip $2.65 to support, the next checkpoint is an XRP $2.85 target, which shows 21 EMA alignment $2.85 on the 3-day timeframe.

That band forms a $2.64 to $2.89 resistance band where price often paused. Failure to clear the zone risks fresh rejects at $2.65 and reversion toward XRP support $2.50 to $2.60, where whales defend $2.60 in prior clamps. A decisive move above $2.85 would frame an XRP breakout above $2.85 and keep the XRP path to $3 in play.
Liquidity Shock And Order Book Context
Dom, another market analyst, recently examined XRP’s order book behavior during the recent crash on Binance Futures. He described a sharp evaporation of liquidity as sell orders overwhelmed the book.
Within minutes, the bid side dropped from nearly $50 million to almost zero, leaving XRP in what traders call an “air pocket.” Prices fell rapidly from $2.50 to $1.19 as market makers pulled back, revealing just how fragile crypto markets can become during high-stress events.
This sudden liquidity drain serves as a reminder of how quickly cascading liquidations can amplify volatility in leveraged environments.
Historical Parallels And The $3.50 Setup
Meanwhile, CRYPTOWZRD believes the recent capitulation could mirror XRP’s 2017 breakout pattern. After a deep selloff, XRP’s price has compressed within a symmetrical triangle near the $2.00–$2.40 range. If history repeats, a breakout above $3.50 could trigger a parabolic move toward $5.00 or even $8.00.

Holding above $1.80 remains critical to preserving the bullish structure. Moreover, the current setup may indicate the foundation for XRP’s next major rally rather than its conclusion.
