XRP is testing a critical support level this week after a sharp rally placed it among the largest non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies. The token currently trades at around $2.13 as the markets evaluate the ability of recent strength to persist in the near term ahead.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.13, marking a 2.57% increase in the last 24 hours. The trading volume is showing a strong bullish surge, up 38%, and is currently standing at $3.35 billion. Over the past week, the token price has increased by 14%.

That recent move took XRP as the third-largest non-stablecoin crypto asset. Heavy buying interest preceded that action. The price activity has since lagged around the existing levels. The traders are currently concerned with the possibility of the market defending the surrounding support.
XRP’s Technical Structure Tightens as Analysts Watch Critical Levels
Analyst Egrag Crypto highlighted that the current structure represents a controlled correction. The analyst has noted that XRP is still within a downward-moving channel in the five-day chart. The analysis indicates that in this movement, momentum cools instead of active distribution. The price has not yet broken the channel structure.
The analysis also identified key technical levels. A close above the 21-period exponential moving average (EMA) is under scrutiny. A successful retest on that level, as support, would provide confirmation. The channel has an upper limit at close to $2.30. Any shift beyond that would indicate the change in momentum.

The analyst also indicated market structure scenarios related to probability. A probability of 60% was given to an upward break of the channel. Further trading within the channel was pegged at 30%. A further decline to significantly lower levels was allocated just 10 percent and was attributed to wider macro risk.

Moreover, another analyst, Bullish banter, has mentioned a recent rebound of a defined demand zone. The XRP bounced back and regained its position in the range of $1.85 to 1.90 and rose higher. The analyst indicated that the price is currently trading at around 2.13. Holding above this zone keeps higher levels in focus.
Analysts believe that the upside targets are near $2.35 and $2.60. These levels depend on the price’s current support. The breakout has not been proven yet. The market is still volatile to short-term price movements.
