In the update, Franklin Templeton underlines that it remains committed to using digital assets, and XRP has a strong growth during the last quarter.

The interest of investors in XRP spot Exchange-traded Funds (ETFs) significantly declined, and the trading remained low on Tuesday.

XRP Price Struggle at $1.50: Will the Bulls Prevail or Fade?

The latest XRP price traded at $1.46 on February 18, 2026. Following an increase in the past, XRP price has been trading within a band, with an area of support at $1.40 and resistance at $1.50. This price movement indicates how the asset is finding it hard to sustain momentum over major levels.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 49, which represents a neutral market. The price is not overbought or oversold, and hence some stability. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is also slightly indicating a bullish action at 0.0047.

The MACD graph line has been above the signal line, which attests a weak positive trend. Nonetheless, the histogram is near zero, implying that the bullish momentum is not strong, and a shift might happen shortly.

Major levels to which traders should pay attention are breakouts. The initial resistance is at the level of $1.50. In case this level is broken, XRP might target to $1.60. However, if it falls below $1.40, it may signal further consolidation or a move toward lower support zones.
