XRP crypto sold off sharply on September 25, but that marked the end of its short-term drop, at least looking at the XRP USD price action. While the downturn lingered into the weekend for most cryptos, XRP USD has held firm, shrugging off broader market pressures and ranking among the most closely watched coins at press time.
The recent dip could present a prime buying opportunity for aggressive traders. Several factors bolster this outlook. Despite the heavy selling earlier in the week, XRP USDT remains above $2.60, with buyers now targeting $3, a key psychological level. Moreover, the overall trend stays bullish, building on the rally from early July 2025.

On Coingecko, is up an impressive +355% year-to-date. While last week’s pullback has trimmed its monthly gains to just +1.8%, buyers remain firmly in control, with aggressive traders defending critical support levels.

This positive momentum positions XRP as one of the best cryptos to buy.
From the daily chart, immediate support sits at $2.60. Resistance first looms at $3, a clean round number and potential liquidation hotspot. Buyers must break through $3.20 to sustain the uptrend and close above September’s highs. Initial upside targets $3.40, with all-time highs near $3.65 in sight thereafter.
Trading activity underscores the building interest. Data from Coinglass shows XRP volume surging across major exchanges: Binance reports $1.4 billion, a nearly +60% jump in the past 24 hours, with similar spikes on Bybit and Gate.io.

The long/short ratio, a key gauge of market sentiment, further tilts toward buyers, averaging 3:1 on Binance. That said, net inflows across exchanges turned negative over the last 24 hours, warranting some caution.
Yet even amid these mixed signals, whales appear undeterred and decidedly bullish.
On X, one analyst noted that Ripple bulls scooped up 120 million XRP in just three days.
During that period, XRP USDT climbed nearly +4%, firmly rejecting a drop below $2.70.
Exchange reserves tell a similar story of accumulation. After spiking in late August, they stabilized before declining from September 18, dropping from 3.6 to 2.8Bn XRP, then rebounding to around 3.5Bn at the time of writing.
