Ripple’s XRP is nearing a key resistance zone at $2.28. Traders are watching this level, as a breakout could push the price toward the $2.75 area.
Current movement remains inside a descending channel that has shaped price action since early October.

Analyst Ali Martinez outlined the $2.28 zone as a major resistance level. It aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and the upper edge of the descending channel. The area has rejected the price several times in recent weeks.
Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1996376152135581962?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stated</a>,
<blockquote>
 “If $XRP can break past $2.28, a breakout toward $2.75 opens up.”
</blockquote>
Notably, the $2.75 zone also aligns with the 0.236 Fibonacci level and a previous support level that may now act as resistance. Above that, the price could face pressure near $2.90 to $3.00. If XRP is rejected again at $2.28, it may retest the lower support range around $2.05 or $1.87.

Meanwhile, XRP has tracked the broader market. During the December 1 pullback, the asset dropped from $2.20 to below $2.00 before recovering. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $2.17, down 1% in the last 24 hours and 1% over the past week. The 24-hour range has stayed between $2.15 and $2.21.
CRYPTOWZRD <a href="https://x.com/cryptoWZRD_/status/1996426078999715903?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">noted</a> a slightly bullish close on the daily chart.
<blockquote>
 “If it holds above the $2.277 resistance target, I am expecting another long opportunity,” they said.
</blockquote>
If rejected at that level, the analyst expects the market to move sideways. Support is seen near $2.08.

Analyst Steph Is Crypto <a href="https://x.com/Steph_iscrypto/status/1996266933591626169?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pointed</a> to the Stochastic RSI on the weekly chart, which is back in oversold territory. Previous lows in this zone have often marked the end of short-term downtrends. Several prior signals at this level were followed by strong recoveries.
In parallel, on-chain activity has picked up. Crypto commenter Amonyx <a href="https://x.com/amonbuy/status/1996496770877235701?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> an increase in XRP velocity, describing it as a sign of “rising liquidity and heavy trader or whale movement.” Data from CryptoQuant supports this view. As CryptoPotato <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/150000000-xrp-sold-in-48-hours-panic-or-opportunity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a>, wallets holding 1M to 10M XRP reduced their holdings by 150M tokens, continuing a pattern seen since September.
In addition to these market shifts, a new protocol called Firelight has <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/xrp-holders-gain-new-yield-opportunities-as-firelight-protocol-debuts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launched</a>, offering XRP holders the ability to stake tokens while securing on-chain protection. Built by Sentora and supported by Flare Network, the platform uses the FAssets system to bring XRP into DeFi environments.
In a separate development, RLUSD <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/ripple-xrp-news-today-december-1st/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">gained</a> approval for use within the Abu Dhabi Global Market. The stablecoin now has a clearer path to adoption among regulated firms in the region.
