Key Takeaways
Finally, after weeks of fakeouts and persistent downtrends, XRP looks like it has found a bottom. At press time, the altcoin trades at $2.85, still about 25% below its all-time high.
Even so, the current setup suggests that XRP is ready to claw back some of those losses—and may be aiming to close September with a positive return.
Here’s why that could happen, and the key targets traders should watch next.
Since Aug. 26, XRP’s price has been trending downward, slipping from $3.06 to $2.75 at its lowest.
As of this writing, however, the altcoin appears to have found a bottom at $2.75. On the 4-hour chart, XRP’s structure had been forming a descending triangle.
But at press time, the token has broken above the upper trendline of that triangle.
Adding to the bullish case, the MACD has confirmed a crossover, with the 12 EMA (blue) crossing above the 26 EMA (orange). This setup signals renewed upside momentum.
If momentum holds, XRP could first test resistance at $2.86, and a successful breakout may open the path toward $3.06.

From an on-chain perspective, CryptoQuant data adds weight to the bullish outlook for XRP’s price. One of the clearest signals comes from exchange outflows.
On Sept. 4, XRP’s exchange outflow stood at 716,729 coins. As of this writing, that figure has surged to 3.79 million.
Exchange outflows measure how many cryptos are leaving trading platforms and moving into private wallets.
An increase in outflows typically signals that investors are pulling their holdings off exchanges, reducing immediate selling pressure.
When fewer coins are available for quick sell orders, supply tightens. If demand holds steady or rises, this supply crunch can help drive prices higher.
In XRP’s case, the spike in outflows suggests that holders are preparing to HODL, betting on future upside rather than selling now.

From a technical perspective, the daily chart shows XRP’s price flirting with the upper trendline of a descending triangle.
Strong support remains near $2.75, while the Money Flow Index (MFI) is on the rise, signaling improving inflows.
If this trend continues, XRP could break overhead resistance and climb toward $3.23—about a 15% gain from current levels.
In a highly bullish case, momentum could carry the altcoin even further, with the price potentially hitting $3.67.

On the other hand, if selling pressure intensifies, this outlook could shift quickly. In that scenario, XRP might lose its $2.75 support and slide as low as $2.40.
