Here’s How High Ripple’s XRP Price Can Go This Week

Ripple’s former CTO David Schwartz pushed back on claims that the XRP price could reach $100 anytime soon. He said markets tend to price in realistic expectations and that if traders truly believed in extreme upside, XRP would trade far higher than it does now. 

At around $1.66, the market clearly sees a $100 outcome as unlikely without major changes. This comment cooled hype but did not damage XRP’s broader outlook. XRP also just went through a sharp leverage flush during the wider crypto selloff. 

Long positions were flushed, price dropped into support, and leverage cleared. Ripple continues expanding institutional services despite recent price weakness.

XRP Chart Analysis: What the Indicators Are Saying

On the 4H chart, XRP remains under pressure after weeks of lower highs and steady selling. Price now trades near the $1.65 area after failing to hold above $1.80, which has turned into a firm resistance zone.

Momentum indicators show stress but less downside force than earlier in the week. The Williams %R sits near oversold levels, showing sellers are stretched after the liquidation wave. This lines up with the recent drop that cleared a large amount of leveraged long exposure.

The CCI is still in negative territory but has stabilized, indicating diminishing selling pressure. This provides scope for a move sideways or a minor pop in the XRP price.

Funding rates have flipped negative, meaning short positions now dominate. When positioning becomes this one-sided, price often sees brief rebounds as traders take profits or get caught leaning the wrong way.

OBV continues trending lower, showing that spot buying remains limited. This keeps upside moves capped unless volume improves.

XRP Price Targets to Watch This Week

XRP needs to hold the $1.60–$1.62 zone to avoid further downside. This area stopped the recent drop and remains the main support.

On the upside, resistance sits between $1.75 and $1.80. This zone rejected the XRP price multiple times and will be difficult to reclaim. A break and hold above $1.80 would open the path toward $1.88–$1.95, where previous sell pressure remains heavy.

On the downside, a clean break below $1.60 would expose XRP to a move toward $1.50, with limited support in between.

Ripple’s XRP price is in a reset phase after heavy leverage was flushed from the system. Any upside this week likely stays corrective, not trend-changing. Price will hinge on whether buyers hold support or sell rallies.

House Judiciary Rejects Vote To Subpoena Banks CEOs For Epstein Case

The post House Judiciary Rejects Vote To Subpoena Banks CEOs For Epstein Case appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline House Judiciary Committee Republicans blocked a Democrat effort Wednesday to subpoena a group of major banks as part of a renewed investigation into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s financial ties.

(Photo by Nathan Posner/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images Key Facts A near party-line vote squashed the effort to vote on a subpoena, with Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who is leading a separate effort to force the Justice Department to release more Epstein case materials, voting alongside Democrats. The vote, if successful, would have resulted in the issuing of subpoenas to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing and Bank of New York Mellon CEO Robin Vince. The subpoenas would have specifically looked into multiple reports that claimed the four banks flagged $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein. The failed effort from Democrats followed an FBI oversight hearing in which agency director Kash Patel misleadingly claimed the FBI cannot release many of the files it has on Epstein.
