Subsequent sessions produced highs near $1.53 and $1.52 before the token weakened towards $1.46 early Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>That sequence suggests buyers are struggling to absorb supply between roughly $1.52 and $1.55.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a TON of overhead supply to work through,\u201d Peter Brandt said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/crypto\/cryptocurrency\/26\/10\/62185920\/xrp-to-2-16-legendary-trader-peter-brandt-says-yes-but?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Benzinga<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Brandt has not abandoned the bullish case. He sees a possible chart formation with a measured objective near $2.16, but described the developing structure as imperfect and said further consolidation may be needed.<\/p>\n<p>That distinction matters, as XRP can still break higher, but repeated failure around the same resistance means sellers have not yet been cleared. <\/p>\n<p>That makes the next test of $1.45 considerably more important for bulls.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">$1.45 is becoming the level bulls cannot afford to lose<\/h2>\n<p>XRP has spent much of the <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/10\/05\/xrp-is-trapped-between-1-45-and-1-55-why-the-next-break-could-get-violent\/\">recent period trading between roughly $1.45 and $1.55<\/a>, making the lower boundary the key near-term test.<\/p>\n<p>FXStreet analyst John Isige warned on Tuesday that \u201can extended cap on the upside could leave buyers exhausted, prompting profit-taking and increasing sell-side pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>XRP touched about $1.45 during Wednesday\u2019s decline, bringing the market back to an area where buyers have previously stepped in. <\/p>\n<p>A brief move below the level would not confirm a breakdown, but sustained trading underneath it would weaken the consolidation considerably.<\/p>\n<p>The 50-day exponential moving average is placed around $1.40, followed by the 200-day EMA near $1.38 and the 100-day EMA around $1.33.<\/p>\n<p>A confirmed loss of $1.45 would shift attention towards $1.40. If that fails, $1.38 becomes the next important structural support before the risk of a deeper correction increases.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bulls still have one clear way to invalidate the bearish setup<\/h2>\n<p>The bearish argument remains conditional because <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/10\/02\/xrp-gained-45-and-etfs-keep-buying-who-is-selling-every-move-towards-1-70\/\">XRP has not decisively broken support.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said a four-hour close above roughly $1.53 would confirm a bullish breakout. He sees $1.62 as the next major target if buyers produce that confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>That gives traders a clear upside test.<\/p>\n<p>Holding $1.45 would keep XRP range-bound rather than technically broken. Recovering $1.53 to $1.55 would undermine the repeated-rejection thesis, while a sustained breakout could put $1.62 back in focus.<\/p>\n<p>Upcoming catalysts may still help. Evernorth is expected to begin Nasdaq trading under XRPN on October 8, while two XRP Ledger upgrades could activate around October 8 and 9 if validator support remains above the required threshold.<\/p>\n<p>But those events matter only if they generate actual buying.<\/p>\n<p>XRP is not in a confirmed breakdown yet, but the burden is shifting towards bulls. Repeated failures above $1.50 have pushed price back to the lower end of its recent range.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/10\/07\/heres-why-another-xrp-rejection-at-1-55-could-send-it-below-1-45\/\">Here\u2019s why another XRP rejection at $1.55 could send it below $1.45<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\">Invezz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP slipped towards $1.46 on Wednesday after another failed attempt to clear the $1.52 to $1.55 area, putting a support zone that has repeatedly attracted buyers back under pressure.
