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.
