XRP traded in a volatile 23-hour session from Sept. 2 at 03:00 to Sept. 3 at 02:00, moving between $2.76 and $2.86.
Geopolitical and monetary policy uncertainty continue to drive volatility across crypto markets. Fed rate-cut expectations remain in flux after inflation data releases, adding to liquidity stress.
Whale accumulation of 340M XRP ($960M) over the past two weeks suggests institutions are positioning on weakness despite broader selling since July.
Analysts remain split: some flag downside risks toward $2.50 if $2.76 breaks, while others cite long-term breakout setups with targets above $4.00 if $3.30 resistance clears.
