Analyst Predicts XRP Will Bounce Hard, Support at $1.81
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Technical Support Analysis: XRP's recent pullback to around $1.81 aligns with a key trendline support, suggesting a potential strong rebound into 2026, as highlighted by analyst Steph, indicating a convergence of market psychology and technical support.
- Market Performance Review: XRP has declined approximately 25% year-to-date in 2025, currently trading at $1.84; while short-term moving averages signal a bearish bias, the trendline support indicates buyers are stepping in, potentially leading to a rapid rebound.
- Fundamental Support: Ripple's legal resolution with the U.S. SEC has removed a significant regulatory overhang, reigniting institutional interest, particularly in cross-border payments and the expansion of On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), which processes billions in transactions daily.
- Market Psychology and Institutional Flows: The psychological impact of support levels attracts contrarian buyers, and combined with institutional inflows and adoption metrics, these factors may create conditions for a swift rebound; looking ahead to 2026, if the support holds, XRP could recover sharply from recent lows.
