Ripple’s XRP is up 1.32% to $1.52 over the past 24 hours, closely tracking Bitcoin’s 1.27% advance as the total crypto market cap climbed 1.06%.
The move points to a broader risk-on session, with XRP also getting mild support from digital-commodity and Layer-1 sectors, which gained about 0.7%. The key question now is whether the XRP price can turn the $1.50 area into a stronger base and challenge higher resistance.
With Evernorth set for its Nasdaq listing on October 8 and an XRPL Batch upgrade due October 9, traders have several potential volatility triggers ahead. Technical trader Peter Brandt has also identified a cup-and-handle setup with a measured target near $2.16. Here’s where the XRP price can go today.

News Pushing Ripple’s XRP Price Presently
Veteran trader Peter Brandt has identified a potential cup-and-handle pattern on XRP’s daily chart, placing its measured target near $2.16. The key breakout level is $1.6572, but Brandt also pointed to heavy overhead supply between $1.60 and $2.00. For the setup to gain confirmation, XRP needs a daily close above $1.6572. A move below $1.47 would weaken the pattern and put the bullish case under pressure.
Clearpool is also preparing to migrate its CPOOL ecosystem from Ethereum to the XRP Ledger after token holders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the move. The Q4 2026 migration will replace CPOOL with the XRPL-native CLEAR token at a one-for-one ratio.
The move brings a decentralized credit platform onto XRPL and could increase network activity and RLUSD usage. The direct effect on XRP demand is more limited because Clearpool loans are settled in RLUSD rather than XRP.
RippleX developers have also released the ninth Smart Escrow devnet, advancing programmable escrow functionality on XRPL. The latest version moved the WebAssembly integration to Rust and reported performance improvements of 30%-50%. The technology is designed for conditional payments and more complex financial agreements, giving XRPL additional functionality beyond standard payment transfers.
Here’s What the XRP Chart Is Showing
We had a look at the chart, and Ripples’ XRP price is trading around $1.5028 after spending several sessions inside a relatively narrow range.
The broader move from the September low near $1.26 produced a recovery toward $1.62, but XRP failed to maintain that level and has since consolidated between roughly $1.47 and $1.54. The $1.50 area is therefore an important short-term pivot. Holding it keeps the door open for another test of 1.54-1.55.
The momentum indicators are close to neutral. The Ultimate Oscillator reads 49.56, almost exactly around the midpoint, showing neither strong buying nor selling pressure. The RSI is 49.98, with its moving average around 52.52. That puts RSI below its average and leaves XRP without an overbought condition. A move above 50-52 on RSI could strengthen the case for a test of the upper range.
The chart also shows repeated rejection around $1.52-$1.54, making that zone the first major hurdle for October 7. If buyers clear it with stronger volume, $1.60 becomes the next area to watch, followed by Brandt’s $1.6572 breakout level. On the downside, $1.47 has held several tests, and a break below $1.45 would expose the $1.38 region.

Where Will Ripple’s XRP Price Go Today?
The bullish path starts with XRP defending $1.50 and breaking $1.54-$1.55. A successful move through that zone could send the token toward $1.60 and then $1.63-$1.65, with $1.6572 acting as the key breakout level.
The neutral path keeps XRP between $1.47 and $1.55. With RSI near 50 and the Ultimate Oscillator at 49.56, the indicators support a range-bound session unless fresh buying volume enters the market.
The bearish path begins with a loss of $1.47, followed by a break below $1.45. That would put $1.38 near the 50-day EMA into focus, giving traders a clear downside level to monitor.
