XRP Gained 16% Last Week and Lost 7% in a Day. Is the Rally Already Over?

U.S. spot XRP ETFs drew $75.59 million in weekly inflows as whale wallets added 1.54 billion tokens, according to market data.

  • XRP traded near $1.51 on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, struggling to sustain momentum above the $1.60 resistance barrier despite elevated institutional interest and recent market volatility.
  • A significant short squeeze on September 21 forced exchanges to liquidate approximately $300 million in short positions, driving a temporary price spike before selling pressure re-emerged to cap gains.
  • New capital flowing into U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds totaled $75.6 million between September 21 and September 25, providing a price floor without sufficient momentum to breach resistance.
  • Immediate support for XRP sits at $1.48, while the $1.60 to $1.62 range remains the primary technical hurdle that the token must clear to establish a sustained upward trend.
  • Ahead of the October 1 escrow release, market participants are monitoring the XRP Ledger Batch upgrade, which went live September 29, for its impact on trading volume and price stability.
