XRP Price Today Tests $3 Resistance After Record Quarter

• XRP trades at $2.97 and faces resistance at $3.07, $3.13, and $3.30.
• XRP must close above each level for three consecutive days before it can be confirmed as a rigid support
• XRP closed September at $2.846, its third-highest monthly close in history and a record quarterly close.

XRP is currently trading at $2.97 after recording a 4.3% gain in the past 24 hours. The increase lifted its weekly rise to 3.3% and its monthly performance to 6%. The rally pushed the token close to a decisive test of the $3.07, $3.13, and $3.30 resistance levels flagged by analysts.

According to Egrag Crypto, XRP must close above each level for three straight sessions before the thresholds convert into rigid support. Without that confirmation, upside moves may fade quickly.

Analyst Flags Risk of Bull Traps

The analyst cautioned that failure to hold above these thresholds could lead to bull traps. This is a scenario where temporary price spikes mislead traders into expecting continued growth. In such a case, XRP’s earlier lower targets may remain viable. 

Unusual Short-Term Selling Pressure

In a separate update, Egrag flagged an unusual development on lower-timeframe charts. He reported that the delta had dropped to -200% with no recorded buy orders. “Are you seriously telling me that no one is buying even one single XRP?” he wrote, describing it as the first time he had witnessed such conditions.

The analyst suggested the data could indicate heavy selling pressure and possible manipulation. While lower-timeframe signals often reflect short-term market noise, the absence of buying activity adds caution for traders monitoring price movements.

Highest Quarterly Close for XRP, What is Next?

Interestingly, crypto analyst Mr. Xoom highlighted XRP’s resilience despite consolidation for most of 2025. He noted that XRP closed September at $2.846, a 2.55% gain that secured both its third-highest monthly close in history and a record quarterly close. 

Starting Q3 at $2.23, the token advanced 27.16%, making it the best-performing quarter of the year. According to Xoom, this performance shows XRP has been quietly trending upward despite prevailing bearish sentiment in the community.

Xoom emphasized XRP’s strong track record in fourth quarters, where the asset has historically averaged 140%. He pointed to major rallies such as the 240% surge in Q4 2024 and the record 1,064% rally in Q4 2017.

Based on this pattern, Xoom suggested the outlook for Q4 2025 is predominantly bullish. If the trend repeats, XRP could finish the year above $6, setting a new all-time high and marking one of its strongest annual performances.

Interestingly,  Egrag Crypto had earlier predicted XRP to reach this price by November.
