The XRP price is around $1.5146, down 0.39% on the daily candle. XRP has traded between $1.4992 and $1.5310, with 54.42 million XRP in volume.
The broader picture still points to a recovery. XRP has climbed about 51% from the $1.00 macro bottom shown on the chart. Now, the focus is on whether buyers can push the XRP price through $1.60. If they do, $1.80, $2.00 and $2.20 become the next levels to watch.
What you'll learn 👉
The XRP Price Is Close to $1.60
We had a look at the XRP chart, and the momentum readings are giving a mixed picture. The RSI is at 58.06, which keeps it above the 50 level, but the indicator is moving lower. The chart has three bullish divergence labels and one bearish one, with the bearish signal being the most recent.
The Ultimate Oscillator is at 39.33, below the 40 level that marks oversold conditions. So XRP still has a positive RSI reading, but the momentum behind the move has cooled.
For XRP, $1.60 is the key resistance. A break above it could open the way toward $1.80, then $2.00 and $2.20. If buyers can’t clear $1.60, $1.20 is the first major support below the current price. And $1.00 remains the key macro support.

XRPL Has Another Development to Watch
The XRP Ledger also has a protocol update coming in October. Its Batch functionality allows multiple transactions to be submitted together and processed using different atomic modes, including an “All or Nothing” option. This can make complex operations easier for developers to execute.
There is one correction to the original upgrade timeline. The initial information referred to the BatchV1_1 amendment activating on October 9, 2026. XRPL documentation instead identifies fixBatchV1_2 as the October amendment, following the XRPL 3.4.1 release.
Batch transactions can be useful for operations such as atomic swaps and other activities that require multiple transactions to work together. More functionality on the XRP Ledger could support developer activity and network use, although the upgrade alone does not guarantee a higher XRP price.
XRP Whales are Adding to Their Holdings
Whale activity is another factor worth watching. Santiment data reported in July showed wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million XRP adding around 600 million XRP over five weeks. Their combined holdings increased by 2.8%.
The buying took place during a period of limited price movement. If these large wallets keep accumulating as the XRP price approaches $1.60, their activity could become more important if the market breaks higher.
The regulatory picture has also become clearer. The SEC and Ripple ended their appeals in August 2025, leaving the existing court rulings in place. A September 2026 Bitwise filing states that XRP itself is not considered a security, and that programmatic and secondary-market XRP sales are not securities transactions either.
XRP price prediction for October 6
XRP is approaching an important resistance zone. A break above $1.60 could open the path toward $1.80, $2.00, and $2.20. A rejection at $1.60 could send the XRP price back toward $1.20, with $1.00 as the deeper support.
For October 6, $1.60 is the level to watch. If buyers clear it, the recovery could extend toward the higher resistance levels. If they fail, the support levels below $1.60 become more important.
