XRP is trading around $1.40 to $1.44 as of September 9, 2026. The token has climbed sharply from its August low near $1.00, but the pace of that recovery has slowed in recent days.
Short-term moving averages sit below the current price, forming a floor between $1.34 and $1.42. The 50-day and 200-day averages sit lower, near $1.20 and $1.27, showing the broader trend has turned upward over the past month.
The MACD indicator is sitting almost exactly at zero. That flat reading suggests XRP is at a turning point, where the next move could set the tone for the rest of September.
The RSI reads 62, which is a normal, trending level rather than an overbought one. Stochastic indicators show a short-term bullish crossover, adding some support to the case for a move higher.
Resistance sits between $1.47 and $1.52, a level XRP has tried and failed to clear more than once. Support sits between $1.27 and $1.34, an area tied to XRP’s 200-day moving average.
Open interest in XRP derivatives dropped nearly 3% over 24 hours even as price rose almost 4%. That pattern usually points to short sellers closing positions rather than new buyers stepping in.
The taker buy/sell ratio sits close to 1.0, meaning buying and selling pressure are roughly balanced. That tells traders the recent bounce has not yet been backed by strong, organic buying.
Retail traders are leaning long, with about 69% holding long positions. Larger accounts, often called smart money, are even more long at roughly 72%.
Trading Volume and ETF Demand
Daily trading volume has lagged behind the recent price action. Volume on September 6 came in near $1.46 billion, about half of the 30-day average of $2.77 billion.
XRP spot ETFs have taken in about $1.68 billion since launch. Weekly inflows have cooled from $110.5 million to roughly $19 million, and September 4 recorded a $7.2 million outflow.
Key Dates This Month
The August CPI inflation report arrives on September 11. A hotter than expected number could raise expectations for tighter Federal Reserve policy, which tends to pressure crypto prices.
The Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting follows on September 16. Markets have been pricing in a chance of a rate move at that meeting.
XRP also faces a procedural vote on the CLARITY Act, expected around September 15. The bill relates to crypto market regulation in the United States.
Grok, the AI model, has produced a range of September forecasts for XRP. Estimates have moved from $1.25 in early September up to a range of $1.40 to $1.55 in the most recent projection.
As of this writing, XRP is trading at $1.4360, holding above its short-term support near $1.34 and still below the $1.47 resistance level that has defined its recent range.
