XRP price failed to gain pace above $1.920 and trimmed gains. The price is now struggling and faces resistance near the $1.820 level.

  • XRP price started a fresh decline below the $1.850 zone.
  • The price is now trading below $1.850 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.920 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair could continue to move down if it settles below $1.780.

XRP Price Dips To New Weekly Lows

XRP price attempted a recovery wave above $1.90 but failed to continue higher, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price started a fresh decline below $1.880 and $1.850.

There was a move below the $1.820 support level. A low was formed at $1.7707, and the price is now showing bearish signs below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.9331 swing high to the $1.7707 low.

The price is now trading below $1.850 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.920 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.810 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.8520 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.9331 swing high to the $1.7707 low. A close above $1.8520 could send the price to $1.880.

XRP Price

The next hurdle sits at $1.920 and the trend line. A clear move above the $1.920 resistance might send the price toward the $1.9650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.00 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.050.

More Losses?

If XRP fails to clear the $1.8520 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.780 level. The next major support is near the $1.7620 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.7620 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.720. The next major support sits near the $1.70 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.680.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder.   Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Bulls Target $8,500 With Big Money Backing The Move – Details Reaction And Possible Risks Based on coverage of the launch, investors have reacted with both enthusiasm and caution. Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
