XRP price is sitting around $3.03 today, barely moving after yesterday’s swings. The market feels like it’s stuck in limbo, with buyers holding the line at the bottom of the range and sellers making sure price doesn’t push much higher.
Trading activity has slowed down compared to July’s big breakout. That’s a sign traders are waiting for a real signal before jumping in again.
What you'll learn 👉
What We Got Right Yesterday
Yesterday’s prediction was all about the $2.80 support level. The idea was simple: if XRP dropped below it, the chart would open up for a slide toward $2.60 or even $2.50.
So far, bulls are keeping XRP price above $2.86, which means the token is still locked inside the expected $2.80–$3.20 zone. No breakout yet. Volume is still thin, which tells us the market hasn’t made up its mind.
We also said that only a break above $3.20 with strong volume could spark a run toward $3.50–$3.60 and maybe even $3.66. That hasn’t happened either.
📊 XRP Daily Overview (August 27)
- Current Price: $3.03
- 24h Change: +0.19%
- 4H RSI: 48 (neutral)
- Volume: ~21.9M, way below July levels
- Open Interest: $352M (steady, lots of positions still open)
📊 What the XRP Chart Is Telling Us
If you zoom out to the 4-hour chart, the picture is pretty clear. XRP price had a big run in mid-July, blasting from $2.50 all the way above $3.60. Since then, it’s cooled off and settled into this sideways range.
That range is $2.80 on the bottom and $3.20 on the top. Buyers are defending the $2.90-$3.00 area pretty well, which shows there’s some confidence there. On the flip side, every push toward $3.15-$3.20 has been slapped down, which means sellers are standing their ground.
Volume is still light, hanging around 21.9M, which shows most traders are just waiting it out. Open Interest is steady at $352M, so plenty of positions are still loaded. That’s why when the range finally breaks, the next move could be sharp.

XRP Price Scenarios for August 27
Bullish Scenario🚀
If XRP price can break above $3.20 with strong volume, the next targets are $3.50-$3.60. A push through $3.66 could even bring $4.00 back into play.
Neutral Scenario⚖️
Most likely, XRP just chops sideways between $2.80 and $3.20. Traders will keep working the range while bigger players wait for the real breakout.
Bearish Scenario📉
If price slips under $2.80, the chart flips bearish. In that case, XRP could drop toward $2.60-$2.50. If that floor gives way, a retest of $2.00 comes back on the table.
Final Thoughts
Right now, the XRP price feels like it’s just coiling up. The $2.80-$3.20 range has been holding tight, but it won’t last forever.
If bulls win the fight, we could see $3.50-$3.66 pretty quickly. If bears drag it down, a slide into the mid-$2.50s looks likely.
