Ripple’s XRP token continues to face substantial resistance at the $1.40-$1.50 price level. The popular cryptocurrency has struggled to break past its resistance level. According to CoinGecko data, XRP’s price has dipped 1.4% in the last 24 hours, 2.8% in the last month, and 32.6% since April 2025. The asset is at a very critical price level at the moment. Let’s discuss how and when XRP could reclaim the $3 mark.

Will XRP Rally To $3 Anytime Soon?

Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to the $77,000 mark on April 17, pulling XRP along with it ti $1.50. The rally reignited hopes among investors for another bullish out break. However, the upswing was short lived, as talks between the US and Iran failed. BTC hitting $77,000 was its highest price level in several months.

XRP’s current resistance level is quite significant. The asset seems to have very little demand above its immediate resistance, leading to lackluster price movements.

XRP’s slow movement also comes amid high ETF demand. The asset saw the launch of several spot ETFs in late 2025 which was a major milestone for the project. According to JPMorgan, XRP ETFs could see $4 billion to $8.4 billion in inflows. Even Goldman Sachs revealed that it holds about $153.8 million worth of XRP ETFs. ETF inflows could ease the path for XRP to reclaim the $3 mark.

However, despite high XRP ETF demand, retail participation is another factor that needs to amp up. Retail investors are yet to regain confidence in the crypto market. Moreover, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to reduce interest rates after its April meeting. Retail players may re-enter the crypto sector if rates are reduced and borrowing becomes easier. Moreover, geopolitical tensions need to cool off for investors to feel comfortable with risky investments.
