XRP Price Prediction: Cup And Handle Projects $1.70 As XRP Posts Strongest ETF Week In 2026

• XRP is up 0.5%, with four EMAs compressed between $1.3932 and $1.4331 and MACD approaching a cross on the 4H.
• XRP spot ETF total net assets crossed $1B for the first time with $2.42M in daily inflows and cumulative inflows at $1.28B.
• Longs absorbed $2.14M in 24h liquidations against $291.75K for shorts as OI fell 2.60% to $2.58B.

XRP trades at $1.4240 on April 23, with a cup and handle forming on the 4H chart as XRP spot ETF total net assets cross $1B for the first time and cumulative inflows hit $1.28B.

XRP Cup And Handle Nears Completion With Handle Resistance At $1.4331

The cup formed from the March 10 low near $1.15, with the base between mid-March and early April near $1.25 to $1.30, recovering to the rim near $1.50 to $1.55 by April 17. The handle has been pulling back into the $1.38 to $1.43 range since then.

All four EMAs compress between $1.3932 and $1.4331. Price at $1.4240 sits above the 100-period at $1.4004 and 200-period at $1.3932 but below the 20-period at $1.4331, which is the handle resistance. MACD sits negative at -0.0022 with the fast line approaching the signal from below. A 4H close above $1.4331 clears the handle and puts the cup rim at $1.50 to $1.55 in view. The measured move from the cup depth projects to $1.65 to $1.70. Losing the 100-period at $1.4004 puts the handle low near $1.38 in play.

The $1B milestone lands as XRP holds above the key EMAs on the 4H and the cup and handle setup nears its trigger. ETF demand building at the same time the chart approaches a breakout point gives the setup more weight than prior rally attempts since October.

XRP Derivatives: Longs Taking Seven Times More Pain As Positions Close

Volume fell 7.13% to $3.06B with OI down 2.60% to $2.58B. Both declining means positions are closing. Long/short ratio at 0.8932 leans short, with Binance accounts long at 2.4602 and OKX at 1.96.

Longs absorbed $2.14M in 24-hour liquidations against $291.75K for shorts. Buyers keep getting stopped out at the $1.4331 handle resistance while shorts go largely untouched. Options OI rose 0.85% to $65.24M, the one number expanding as traders position for the cup and handle resolution.

XRP Price Prediction: April 24 Outlook

• Upside: 4H close above $1.4331 clears handle resistance and confirms the pattern. Cup rim at $1.50 to $1.55 is the first target, measured move at $1.65 to $1.70 is next. ETF total net assets holding above $1B and weekly inflows above $50M keep institutional demand in the picture.
• Downside: Handle resistance holds, 100-period EMA at $1.4004 breaks on a 4H close, and the handle low near $1.38 becomes the next floor. A close below $1.38 puts the cup base at $1.25 to $1.30 back in view.
