XRP is beginning to show the kind of price behavior that traders usually watch for when a downtrend starts running out of steam. A technical setup of XRP’s price action shows a cryptocurrency that has already absorbed months of selling pressure and is now trying to build a base above a key support zone. Although the analysis does not suggest that XRP has already broken into a full bullish trend, it does show that the decline has slowed down, and price is starting to stabilize where buyers are stepping in. A Downtrend That Has Worn Itself Out Technical analysis shows that XRP spent part of September and early October in a consolidation band before rolling over into a broad decline that lasted for months. That downtrend remained intact into early 2026, when another sell-off pushed the price below $1.30 very briefly in February. Related Reading: Ex-UK Prime Minister Blasts Bitcoin, Here’s What He Said Instead of leading a deeper collapse, however, that drop appears to have created an area where sellers began losing momentum. This drawdown is shown in a clearly defined descending channel visible on the daily chart shared on the social media platform X by crypto analyst BitGuru. The analyst behind the outlook described this as trend exhaustion, and the chart supports that idea. The downward channel that formed from January into February eventually broke down into a stabilization zone, not another leg lower. XRP then began holding above nearby support, and the price action is now trading around the mid-$1.40s on the chart. That is a notable change from the earlier pattern, because it means that the XRP price is no longer making clean lower lows with the same confidence. XRP Price Chart. Source: @bitgu_ru On X Why The Setup Points To A Move Higher Just as important, the chart places a nearby support band around roughly $1.33 to $1.34, while the invalidation area sits much lower, near the $0.88 region. As long as XRP keeps defending increasingly higher support levels and avoids falling back into that earlier breakdown structure, then there is still the case for a price jump. Related Reading: Why Bitcoin Price Could Stage A Stronger Rally Than Previous Bull Markets The technical analysis shows the XRP price basing just above a green accumulation zone, with an upside path pointing into a broader target area that stretches into the low-$2 range. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $1.52. Sustained strength in the next few days can open the path toward a medium-term recovery. Based on the levels shown in the chart above, the first price objective is around $1.88. A sustained close above $1.88 would represent a meaningful structural shift and open the door to a retest of levels last seen in early 2026. More ambitious medium-term targets are between $2.09 and $2.20. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto just suffered its first major electoral setback of the 2026 cycle in deep‑blue Illinois, where Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton beat pro‑crypto Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi in the Democratic Senate primary, NBC News reports. Related Reading: Crypto Rails Go Mainstream — Inside Mastercard’s Bold $1.8 Billion BVNK Acquisition An Electoral Crypto Loss Fairshake, the industry‑backed super political action committee (PAC), poured almost $10 million into ads attacking Stratton as anti‑innovation, but local political muscle, including Governor JB Pritzker’s endorsement and millions in support, proved stronger than crypto money this time. In a state this blue, Stratton’s primary win all but guarantees her a Senate seat in November, turning the race into a warning shot for the digital assets lobby ahead of the 2026 midterms. Fairshake, funded by giants like Coinbase and Ripple as well as venture capital heavyweights Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, entered Illinois with more than $191 million in cash and a broader $221 million war chest for this election cycle. The PAC and its affiliate Protect Progress spent heavily in multiple Illinois House primaries, often on the side of more centrist or business‑friendly Democrats against progressives Candidates such as Melissa Bean and Nikki Budzinski appeared in races where crypto‑aligned super PAC money was present, though it is hard to show Fairshake was uniquely decisive in “electing” them rather than being one of several big spenders. Fairshake publicly frames its mission as defending “American innovation” and “consumer choice” in financial services, and it has signaled it plans to stay active through 2026 and beyond. Related Reading: Crypto Payments Are Going Mainstream: Can Tourists Turn Into Daily Users In South Korea? What This Means For Traders Short term, this defeat is unlikely to move prices by itself, but it adds a layer of policy uncertainty for 2026 that could resurface as volatility around key primary dates, especially if Fairshake reallocates more of its $221 million war chest into tighter, more winnable races. Regulatory and legislative outcomes around stablecoins, market structure, and crypto‑friendly bills like the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act will remain highly political and uneven across states, rather than following a straight, pro‑industry trajectory.
