Crypto influencer Ash Crypto predicts XRP could reach $2 if it breaks through its current resistance level. XRP (XRP) is trading at $1.27, down 0.8% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by The Crypto Basic, with live market data added, as of Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:00:04 UTC.

Why it matters

The resistance level represents a crucial technical barrier that has capped XRP's price for months, and its breach could trigger significant upward momentum.

Key takeaways
  • XRP faces a key resistance level that has limited its price for months.
  • A breakout could pave the way for a potential rally toward $2.
  • XRP currently trades at $1.28, down 2.85% in the last 24 hours.

Crypto influencer Ash Crypto has highlighted a crucial resistance level for XRP that has capped its price for an extended period. This technical barrier has prevented the cryptocurrency from advancing to higher levels.

According to Ash Crypto, once XRP manages to break above this resistance level, it could quickly rally toward the $2 mark. This prediction is based on the assumption that the breakout would remove a significant barrier to further price increases.

Currently, XRP is trading at $1.28, having experienced a 2.85% decline over the past 24 hours. This downward movement reflects the broader market trend, as the total crypto market cap has also seen a decline.

The broader market context shows a neutral sentiment with a Fear & Greed index of 51. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, is down 1.51% in the last 24 hours, indicating a period of consolidation and potential volatility.

For XRP to reach the $2 target, it would need to overcome its current resistance level and maintain upward momentum. Traders and investors will be watching for a clear breakout above this level as a potential signal for further price increases.
