Will XRP Go Up or Down Next?

The daily chart shows a descending channel from the September high near $1.66. Price sits below all four key moving averages, bunched between $1.3348 and $1.3728.

RSI reads 37.27, under its signal line at 39.53. Momentum is weak, but not yet oversold.The daily chart shows a descending channel from the September high near $1.66.

EGRAG Crypto sees it differently. He points to a 100 and 200 EMA cross and double-bottom wicks near $1.24 to $1.25.

He also says the August 19 surge, which spiked price near $1.70, reclaimed a key structure that is now being retested.

On this Binance chart, though, the 100 EMA ($1.3348) still sits under the 200 EMA ($1.3728). He warns that daily crosses can give false signals.EGRAG Crypto sees it differently. He points to a 100 and 200 EMA cross

A sustained daily close below $1.24 could mean months of consolidation, EGRAG notes.

If buyers defend the zone and price breaks above the channel, a move toward $1.33 to $1.37 is possible. Nothing is guaranteed.

What Is the Latest XRP News on Franklin Templeton?

Franklin Templeton added $150 million of tokenized money market fund shares to the XRP Ledger on Friday. Every new share went to one wallet.

That wallet now holds nearly 193 million sgBENJI shares, up from about 48 million before Thursday. At $1.039 per share, that is about $200 million.

The wallet and Franklin's issuing account use the same eight signing addresses. Any two can approve a transaction.

Price did not react, at least so far.

Can XRP Reach $1.45 Again?

The first test is $1.24. Hold it, and a range trade toward $1.45 to $1.47 stays on the table. Lose it, and $1.18 to $1.15 comes into view.

Any Ripple price prediction right now is a guess. The XRP price forecast depends on whether buyers reclaim the EMA zone.

Until then, the trend leans down or sideways.
