XRP’s Price Setup Gets The Sideways Treatment
Meanwhile, XRP’s price action reflects a market searching for clear direction after a sustained October pullback. Historical data from CoinGecko shows the OG altcoin closing at $1.29 on October 17, down from $1.41 on October 11, 2026. The $1.29 – $1.32 demand zone is now in focus for bulls aiming to capture the $1.50 psychological level.
On the daily XRP price charts, the $1.33 level represents the mid-tier Bollinger Band, an exact estimated average where bulls may even the score, but only regain dominance at $1.71, conquering the Red-Label Bollinger Band. Going upward, the $2.30 SuperTrend price (green) is where traders can expect a broader rally if sustained by the daily candlesticks.
