XRP Price Faces Key Test Despite Adoption Boost

[kevin1]

While the Rakuten integration is a strong fundamental catalyst, XRP’s price is still facing technical pressure. Currently trading around $1.37, the token remains within a descending triangle pattern—a structure often associated with bearish continuation.

For XRP to shift momentum, it needs to break above key resistance levels, particularly around $1.40–$1.45. A confirmed daily close above this range could signal a breakout and potentially reverse the current trend. On the downside, support sits near $1.29, and a drop below that level could trigger further selling.

This creates an interesting situation: strong real-world adoption on one side, and cautious technical signals on the other. In the coming weeks, market reaction to Rakuten’s rollout—combined with price action—will likely determine XRP’s next major move.

“strong adoption” but price still stuck, tale as old as time.
