Here are XRP key support and resistance levels to watch this weekend

XRP continues to navigate a turbulent market as broader crypto selloffs weigh heavily on major altcoins. Despite the volatility, XRP has managed to consolidate above the $2 mark throughout most of the month, holding firm amidst intense market liquidations. 

However, the token recently dropped to $1.97 on December 20, before rebounding to regain ground above the critical $2 psychological level. 

With traders closely monitoring price movements, analysts have identified key support and resistance levels that could shape XRP’s trajectory this weekend.

At press time, XRP was trading at $2.15, having dropped by over 9% in the past seven days. However, on the monthly chart, the asset remains in the green, up nearly 92%.

XRP key levels to watch

Notably, in a recent X post, analyst DarkDefender identified critical levels for XRP in the four-hour timeframe. After testing the $2.72 resistance, XRP retraced to the $2.17 support level, where a potential double-tap appears to be forming.

The $2.17 level remains crucial for short-term stability. Should this support fail, the next level to watch is $2.09, with a deeper correction potentially targeting $1.92. On the upside, immediate resistance is at $2.50, a key level that XRP must break to regain bullish momentum. 

A decisive breakout above $2.62 would signal the completion of the ongoing correction and open the door for further gains.

Meanwhile, on-chain analyst Ali Martinez noted that a rebound to $2.62 could trigger the liquidation of $20.50 million in short positions. Such a move could act as a catalyst for additional upward momentum, potentially driving XRP closer to its next major milestone at $3.

Beyond these levels, DarkDefender had previously identified bullish short-term price targets of $5.85 and $8.76, supported by favorable market conditions and historical price patterns.

ASIC is probing allegations of Binance incorrectly classifying retail and wholesale investors in its derivatives business. Binance Australia ’s fiat on-ramp services we...
