XRP Rebounds to $1.33 as Bulls Defend Key Support Level

XRP has rebounded to $1.33 after successfully defending the $1.26 support level for the second time in October.

XRP has rebounded to $1.33 after successfully defending the $1.26 support level for the second time in October. Tether (USDT) is trading at ₹95.09 ($0.9989). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by CryptoPotato, with live market data added, as of Wed, 28 Oct 2026 09:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The successful defense of the $1.26 support level and subsequent rebound could signal a potential shift in XRP's short-term trend, especially if it can break through the descending channel's upper boundary.

Key takeaways
  • XRP rebounds to $1.33 after defending $1.26 support twice in October.
  • Price pushes toward descending channel's upper boundary and 0.5 Fibonacci retracement.
  • Breakout could shift short-term structure; rejection would favor sellers.

XRP has rebounded to $1.33 after successfully defending the $1.26 support level for the second time in October. This rebound comes as the broader crypto market shows signs of recovery, with the total market cap now at $2.78 trillion.

The current price of $1.33 places XRP near the upper boundary of a short-term descending channel and the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level, according to CryptoPotato. A breakout from this area could signal a shift in the short-term trend, potentially favoring buyers.

If XRP fails to break through this resistance, the analysis suggests that sellers could regain control, pushing the price back down. This scenario would likely see the $1.26 support level tested again.

The broader market context shows a generally positive trend, with Bitcoin up 1.59% in the last 24 hours and the Fear & Greed Index at 51, indicating a neutral sentiment. Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin by market cap, is also stable at $0.998801.

The successful defense of the $1.26 support level and the subsequent rebound suggest that XRP could be poised for a potential rally if it can break through the current resistance. Investors will be watching the $1.32 level closely to see if the bullish momentum can be sustained.
