This XRP price prediction starts near $1.34, where the token trades after a rough session driven by hot inflation data. Bulls stepped in around $1.25 and pushed the price back up.

The token is up 1.81% in 24 hours. That is slightly better than the wider market gain of 1.69%.

Still, it sits well below the recent high near $1.65. Below, we look at ETF flows, whale activity, derivatives, and chart levels.

XRP News Today: Why Did XRP Fall After the PPI Report?

In $XRP news today, the big story is inflation. The coin dropped by nearly 6% at one point in the session after U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data surprised the market.

Analysts Expected

Actual Reading

PPI (monthly)

0.5%

Core PPI (September)

0.3%

0.7%

Core PPI was up 50 basis points versus the previous month. Higher energy prices keep pushing wholesale costs up.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) a day earlier also beat forecasts. Two hot reports in a row could have set the stage for a bigger correction.

That combo can scare traders away from risky assets. Even so, bulls defended the $1.25 area and lifted the price to a session high of $1.35.

XRP Latest News: Are Whales Moving XRP to Binance?

The XRP latest news from on-chain data is worth a look. CryptoQuant says whale inflows to Binance hit a seven-month high.

The chart tracks daily whale inflows and their 30-day total. The 30-day total is now near 1.6 billion, up from a low around 600 million in late July and early August.CryptoQuant says whale inflows to Binance hit a seven-month high

Analyst ArabxChain says more coins on exchanges can mean more supply for trading. That can raise selling pressure.

The late August spike lines up with the sharp rally to $1.70. Daily inflows have stayed busy since then, but none has matched that peak.

But an inflow is not a sale. Whales may move coins to trade, to use as collateral, or just to shift wallets.

Treat it as a warning sign, not a confirmed signal.

XRP News: What Are Spot XRP ETFs Showing?

Spot ETFs for the token hold $1.53 billion in net assets. That is about 1.81% of the market cap.

XRP Price Analysis: Is the Daily Chart Bullish or Bearish?

On the daily chart, the price moves inside a descending channel. It keeps making lower highs and lower lows after being rejected at $1.60 to $1.65.

A sharp rally in late August lifted the price from about $1.00 to a wick near $1.70. Since then, sellers have pulled it back step by step.

The latest daily candle opened at $1.3349 and ranged from $1.3234 to $1.3457. The price is $1.3402, just above the 100 EMA and below the 20, 50, and 200 EMA.

If buyers hold support and reclaim $1.38 to $1.41, a bounce toward $1.45 to $1.49 could follow. A move above the trendline and a hold over $1.45 to $1.50 would shift the picture.

If $1.30 breaks, the price could slide toward $1.25 and then $1.20. For now, the structure stays bearish.

Watch inflation data, ETF flows, and whale moves. Any of them can change the mood fast.
