XRP is trading around $1.406 on Oct. 12, down slightly after a modest pullback from the late-September rebound. The daily candle opened near $1.4097, reached a high of about $1.4195 and dipped to $1.3989 before settling a little lower.

Chart Analysis
The larger rebound from the August low near $1.00 is still visible on the daily chart. However, XRP has dipped back under the blue uptrend line that had supported the recovery, which suggests the short-term structure has weakened.
Momentum indicators point the same way. The RSI is at 45.05, below neutral, and the MACD line sits below its signal line with a negative histogram. The next support zone is $1.29-$1.31, with a broader band near $1.18-$1.25 below it. On the upside, XRP needs to reclaim the trendline and $1.50 before targeting resistance at $1.55-$1.67. The level to watch next is $1.40, which is acting as immediate support.
Analyst “Ripple” outlooks on social media are more upbeat. A post on X says Ripple is poised to rebound from a broken descending channel on the daily timeframe, with buyers confirming the retest. The post also says XRP is becoming the backbone of real-world asset tokenization. It lists targets of $1.70, $2.20, $2.70 and $3.65 after a confirmed bounce.
