XRP Could Target $2 After $1.40 Breakout as ETFs Defy Bitcoin Outflows

$XRP is holding near $1.36 after a volatile week, but the more important story is developing away from the spot market.

U.S.-listed $XRP ETFs attracted $18.98 million across Sept. 8–10, while Bitcoin funds moved in the opposite direction with approximately $449.45 million of net outflows over the same three sessions. Ethereum ETFs also lost $29.76 million on Sept. 10, leaving $XRP as the major crypto ETF category still attracting capital during the selloff.

The divergence is arriving as $XRP approaches a technical level that could decide whether the August recovery continues.

$XRP trades around $1.36, up roughly 1% over 24 hours after falling as low as $1.32 on Friday.

$1.40 Is the First Hurdle Toward $2

FXStreet identifies the 200-day EMA near $1.36 as $XRP’s immediate support, while $1.40 remains the first resistance bulls need to reclaim.

Above that level, the next technical hurdle sits near $1.58. A sustained move beyond $1.58 would strengthen the recovery setup, while the broader chart places $1.70 as the next major resistance before a potential move above $2.00.

That $2 target is not immediate. $XRP would first need to recover roughly 29% to revisit $1.75 territory and then clear the resistance that capped its August rally.
