XRP Tests $2.50 to $2.79 as $2.30 Support Holds

• XRP trades under $2.50 to $2.79 today as $2.30 holds the floor.
• A daily close above $2.79 shifts focus to $3.40 and trims risk.
• Analysts split between a dangerous near-term setup and double-digit goals.

XRP is trading below the $2.50 to $2.79 resistance band today, October 14 2025, while $2.30 support is holding, as analysts are split between a “dangerous” near-term setup and a double-digit cycle view.

XRP Faces Short-Term Pressure

Following a dip of over 6% in the last 24 hours, XRP is showing signs of volatility. One analyst warned that the coin is at a “dangerous” juncture, hinting that the storm may not be fully behind it.

After rebounding more than 200% from recent lows, XRP’s chart structure shows signs of exhaustion, which might mean potential risks in the near term.

Market-Wide Decline Adds Context

Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan however said that XRP’s decline is not an isolated event. He pointed out that the broader crypto market has been in retreat over the last few hours, explaining that XRP’s struggles are part of a larger trend rather than a unique weakness.

Bullish Long-Term Perspective

Analyst Credibull Crypto said that their outlook on XRP hasn’t changed in the past 48 hours. 

He said that XRP’s chart remains one of the most bullish in the market and expect the coin could reach double digits by the end of this cycle.

Technical Analysis: Levels to Watch

From a technical perspective, XRP faces immediate resistance at $2.79, with $3.40 representing the next key level for a meaningful breakout. Short-term support is seen at $2.30, while a broader Fibonacci zone between $1.75 and $2.10 could provide a buffer if prices continue to fall. 

The recent upward movement can be interpreted as a five-wave structure, although the extended fourth wave and messy correction patterns show that the market could experience sideways or uneven movement before a clearer trend emerges.
