Santiment says the RLUSD institutional story is picking up. Standard Chartered has launched custody for XRPL, and Ripple joined an investment in OKX at a $25 billion valuation.
Those are real steps for the ecosystem. Still, Santiment's chart shows price drifting lower over many months. So far, good XRP news has not turned into a strong rally.

XRP Price Prediction: What Are the Key Support and Resistance Levels?
On the daily chart, XRP is moving inside a descending channel. It was rejected near $1.60 to $1.66 earlier.
Price sits below the 20-day EMA at $1.431 and the 50-day EMA at $1.396. It is also under the 200-day EMA at $1.3795.
The 100-day EMA at $1.3397 is holding as support so far. RSI is near 41.5, which shows weak momentum but not oversold conditions.
Level | Type | Note |
$1.60 to $1.66 | Resistance | Recent rejection zone |
$1.48 to $1.50 | Resistance | Possible target if $1.43 breaks |
$1.40 to $1.43 | Resistance | 20- and 50-day EMAs |
$1.33 to $1.30 | Support | Near 100-day EMA |
$1.25 to $1.20 | Support | Deeper downside area |
Will XRP Go Up or Down After the CPI Report?
If XRP fails to reclaim $1.40 to $1.43, a slide toward $1.33 to $1.30 is possible. A clean break below that could expose $1.25 to $1.20.
If buyers defend $1.33 to $1.30 and push above $1.43, a move toward $1.48 to $1.50 could follow.
Nothing here is certain. A hot or cool CPI print could change the picture quickly. The outlook stays bearish to neutral until XRP breaks the descending trendline and wins back the key moving averages.
