XRP price prediction for October 24 stays bearish below $1.34, the 100-day average XRP needs to reclaim while it holds the rising line of its triangle.
XRP Price Analysis: Can XRP Hold the Floor of Its Triangle?
XRP is holding the rising line of its narrowing triangle for now, trading at $1.33, up 1.52% today, but price is still below all four daily EMAs. A daily close above the 100-day at $1.34 is the first step toward a recovery, with the 20-day at $1.36 and the 50-day and 200-day, both near $1.37, stacked just above it.
The Parabolic SAR at $1.26 has moved under price, which means the short-term trend has turned up by that measure. It sits just beneath the triangle’s rising line, which makes that area the floor.
XRP Support and Resistance Levels, October 23, 2026
| Type | Price | Why it matters |
| Resistance | $1.34 | 100-day EMA |
| Resistance | $1.37 | 50-day and 200-day EMAs |
| Resistance | $1.40 | First level to watch, per Santiment |
| Support | $1.30 | Round level, top of ChartNerd’s support floor |
| Support | $1.26 | Parabolic SAR, beside rising triangle line |
| Support | $1 | Round level near August low |
XRP Holder Count Hits a Record 8.24 Million Wallets, Says Santiment
Santiment said the XRP Ledger now has a record 8.24 million non-empty wallets, meaning wallets that hold a balance. It also counted 4,772 new wallets in a single day, the fifth-largest daily jump since March. The post was written with XRP near $1.36, and Santiment set two conditions:
- Upside: A sustained move above $1.40 while new wallets stay near or above 4,000 a day would make a quick return to $1.50 plausible.
- Downside: A loss of $1.30 while new-wallet creation drops below roughly 3,000 a day would make the adoption signal less convincing in the short term.
XRP now trades at $1.33, closer to the $1.30 line than to $1.40.
XRP looks more likely to stall under $1.34 than clear it on October 24, and a daily close below $1.26 would break the triangle.
XRP Whale Deposits to Binance Reach a 7-Month High, Says Darkfost
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said the monthly average of XRP whale deposits to Binance has risen by $72 million since August to $112.4 million, the highest since March. That is well above the roughly $90 million average of the past three months. He counts whales as transactions above 1 million XRP and noted daily spikes of more than $400 million. Coins sent to an exchange are often read as a step before selling.

Darkfost tied the increase to XRP’s rebound of more than 30% since August, which encouraged the largest holders to take profits. Deposits have since returned to more typical levels, which suggests selling pressure has eased, and September’s peak was well below August’s. He added that the picture can change quickly depending on where price goes.
ChartNerd Says XRP Is Compressing Between $1.30 and $1.50 After a 70% Rally
Trader ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA) said XRP has spent about the last 10 weeks between a $1.50 to $1.60 resistance ceiling and a $1.25 to $1.30 support floor. He pointed to a parallel channel between the weekly 20 and 50 EMAs over the past two months.
He called this normal compression after a 70% move up, and said it explains why positive news has not lifted price. He is watching for either a clean break of resistance or a loss of support, and stressed that confirmation matters.
XRP Price Prediction: Bullish and Bearish Scenarios for October 24
Bullish Case, Target: $1.40
XRP holds above $1.30, closes above the 100-day EMA at $1.34 and clears the 20-day at $1.36 and the 50-day and 200-day cluster near $1.37. That would open $1.40, the first level Santiment flags, with $1.50 next if new-wallet growth stays near 4,000 a day.
Bearish Case, Risk Level: $1.26 (Parabolic SAR)
XRP closes below $1.30 and slides toward $1.26, where the Parabolic SAR sits just under the rising triangle line. A close below that level would break the triangle and leave the round $1.00 level near the August low as the next major support. New-wallet creation falling below 3,000 a day would fit this path.
