XRP holds above $1.28 support with whale buying and ETF delay hinting at potential price rise.

XRP is trading near $1.37, holding above key support at $1.28 with resistance at $1.70. Large investors have recently bought 1.54 billion XRP worth about $2.2 billion, signaling strong accumulation. Analyst Crypto Patel sees a long-term target range of $10 to $18 if XRP breaks above $1.70. Meanwhile, a proposed 3x XRP ETF launch has been delayed until October 18, which could affect market exposure options. Traders are watching the $1.28 support closely as a drop below it could weaken the recovery, while staying above keeps the path to higher levels open.

Following the recent whale accumulation highlighted in the news, XRP is currently trading at Rp26.209 on Pluang, showing a strong 1-day gain of 7.04% as of Sep 21, 2026 17:05 WIB. The market cap stands at Rp1.659,35 trillion with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp69,01 trillion. Despite a majority of sell orders at 67%, the typical hold time of 71 days suggests steady investor confidence in the asset's medium-term potential.
