XRP Makes First Major Move Before $3

As XRP moves closer to the psychologically crucial $3 level, it has finally crossed above the $2.40 barrier, which is the first noteworthy technical milestone. Inside a clearly defined ascending channel, XRP has been rising steadily over the last few weeks. A significant change in sentiment and bulls’ willingness to defend higher price levels, which had not been observed since the beginning of the year, are demonstrated by the recent push above $2.40. 

The $2.40 region has historically served as a potent resistance zone. Prior to retracing into the $2.00 range, price action in late 2024 and early 2025 repeatedly stalled at this level. The breakout is occurring this time against a backdrop of improving momentum; the daily RSI has risen above 67, indicating continued buyer interest without yet reaching the risk zone of overbought conditions. 

Technically speaking, XRP needs to overcome this first obstacle in order to retest the $3.00 mark, which has become practically legendary among traders. When XRP last came close to $3, it was the target of strong selling pressure, which led to a harsh rejection and weeks of corrective downside. The $3 level became the most powerful resistance on the chart after that rejection. Volume is also beginning to awaken. Trading activity has increased in recent sessions, indicating a resurgence of speculative interest.

Higher volume and a break of local resistance both increase the likelihood of follow-through buying, which is exactly what XRP needs to prevent another fake-out. The ability of bulls to maintain the $2.40 level as support will determine the next leg higher. In the upcoming weeks, if this breakout is verified, XRP may aim for the $2.70-$2.80 range, preparing for the ultimate move to $3.

In the end, the true test is yet to come. The $3 level is a psychological battlefield rather than merely another point of resistance. The uptrend that XRP has been unable to sustain for the majority of 2025 may be restored if it is able to close firmly above that level. However, all moves above $2.40 are somewhat a prelude to what’s coming closer to the long-awaited mark.
