XRP Breakout Loading? All Eyes on the Crucial $2.60 Level

XRP is trading near $2.15 today, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $4 billion. The asset is up slightly over the past week, despite a minor dip in the last 24 hours.

Analysts are now watching whether it can maintain its recent bounce and move toward the $2.60 level, which sits near the midpoint of its broader trading range.

Price Rebounds Off Support With Eyes on $2.60

A chart shared by Ali Martinez shows XRP rebounding from the lower end of a horizontal price channel. This support level, located just under $2.00, has acted as a reliable zone in previous moves. According to Ali,

The setup indicates that Ripple’s token remains in a broad sideways structure. Past moves have often resulted in rallies from this zone toward the midpoint or upper boundary. If the price approaches $2.60, traders may look for signs of either rejection or continuation.

Macro Structure Suggests Ongoing Accumulation

A separate chart by ChartNerd presents a wider view of XRP’s market structure on the weekly timeframe. The asset remains within a trading range between $1.80 and $3.50. The recent bounce occurred near the Yearly Support Block, a zone that has held multiple times in recent months.

ChartNerd noted the current action “suggests re-accumulation” within this range.

A close below $1.90, however, could weaken this view. XRP also remains below key weekly EMAs, which ChartNerd marked as a resistance area that bulls would need to reclaim.

Meanwhile, Egrag Crypto posted an analysis focused on the monthly RSI for XRP. He pointed out that the RSI has reached the 80 level only twice—once in 2017 and again in 2025. “We are not yet in a confirmed macro bear market,” he said, explaining that the RSI is still holding above 50.

According to his breakdown, there is a 60% chance that XRP is still in a late-stage bull market phase unless the RSI closes below 50. This reading keeps the possibility open for another upward leg if buying pressure returns.

Whales Selling, Interest Drops

Despite recent ETF approvals in the US market, data shows that whales have sold over 180 million XRP tokens in recent sessions, as CryptoPotato reported. These movements have led to increased selling pressure and raised concerns among smaller investors.

At the same time, XRP open interest on Binance has fallen to its lowest level in a year. This decline signals reduced participation in the derivatives market and may indicate caution among short-term traders.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
