XRP was trading near $1.48 on September 28, with roughly $3.55 billion in 24-hour volume, according to CoinMarketCap. The token had retreated from a September 23 high near $1.66, putting it back at an immediate support area and below a nearby consolidation ceiling.
The timing is notable for an XRP price prediction today. Evernorth and Armada Acquisition Corp. II have scheduled a September 30 shareholder vote on their proposed transaction; if shareholders approve it, the combined company is expected to list on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN, according to an SEC filing.
A push to $1.55 would therefore require XRP to rebound from the current support zone while reversing a bearish short-term trend structure. The vote is a defined event on the calendar, but the available market readings do not show a confirmed upside reversal yet.
XRP’s hourly RSI is oversold, but EMA trend signals remain bearish
The most constructive element of the short-term setup is XRP’s hourly relative strength index. CoinLore placed the hourly RSI at 29.55 on September 28, an oversold reading that reflects strong recent selling pressure. Oversold conditions can coincide with a relief bounce, but they do not independently establish that a decline has ended.
Other hourly measures are less supportive. XRP remained below both its 50-period and 200-period exponential moving averages in the same CoinLore technical analysis, leaving the immediate trend bearish. Price would need to recover those averages for that particular trend signal to improve; their precise values were not provided in the source data.
Momentum is not offering a decisive counter-signal. The hourly MACD showed no clear buy or sell signal, which leaves direction inconclusive rather than confirming either a recovery or a renewed breakdown. That neutrality matters because XRP is sitting close to support: an oversold RSI can invite buyers, but neutral MACD and price below both key hourly EMAs leave the market without broad technical confirmation.
A separate 15-minute reading adds another layer of caution. Stoch RSI stood at 93 on September 27, which Crypto Analysis AI characterized as a short-term bounce that was already overbought. This is a much shorter timeframe than the hourly readings, so it should not be treated as a definitive signal. It does, however, suggest that any rebound had encountered near-term exhaustion before XRP returned toward $1.48.
XRP support at $1.45-$1.50 and resistance at $1.55
At the September 28 spot price of $1.48, the closest technical area is the $1.45-$1.50 support band. U.Today described the zone as immediate support and the upper portion of XRP’s prior consolidation range. Its proximity makes it the first practical test for the near-term bullish case.

For buyers, holding the $1.45-$1.50 area is the first requirement. From there, $1.55 is the immediate obstacle. CoinLore identifies that price as nearby resistance and a recent consolidation ceiling, so a move through it would be more meaningful than a brief approach from below. It would also bring the $1.60-$1.65 resistance zone into focus.
The market has recent evidence of supply above current prices. XRP traded near $1.66 on September 23 before declining toward $1.48 by September 28, based on historical Coinbase Pro data carried by Investing.com. The $1.60-$1.65 zone is associated with that recent rejection and liquidation pressure, while $1.65-$1.70 remains the larger barrier cited after the late-August rally.
On the downside, a failure to hold $1.45-$1.50 would weaken the argument that the pullback is stabilising at prior consolidation. The next supplied support is $1.28, CoinLore’s first listed hourly support level. That does not make $1.28 a forecast; it is the next identified reference point if the immediate range is lost.
Can XRP break $1.55 before the Evernorth shareholder vote?
XRP can test and potentially break $1.55 before the September 30 Evernorth vote, but the evidence supports a conditional rather than high-conviction upside case. The catalyst is close, and the hourly RSI at 29.55 shows selling has been strong enough to push the token into oversold territory. A sustained defence of $1.45-$1.50 would give a rebound a firmer technical base.
That rebound still has to contend with bearish hourly positioning. XRP is below its 50- and 200-period EMAs, while MACD provides no clear directional confirmation. In practical terms, a move above $1.55 would be stronger if it followed a hold of support and an improvement in those short-term trend signals, rather than a short-lived oversold bounce.
The $1.55 level is not merely the editor’s scenario target: it is also the nearest supplied resistance and consolidation ceiling. Clearing it would shift attention to $1.60-$1.65, where the prior rejection makes follow-through important. Conversely, another rejection at $1.55, or a loss of the $1.45-$1.50 support band, would weaken the near-term breakout case and leave $1.28 as the next supplied support reference.
The pending vote may concentrate attention on XRP and the proposed Nasdaq listing under XRPN if the transaction is approved, but the SEC filing establishes the vote timetable and expected post-approval listing only. It does not establish a market outcome for XRP. Ahead of that event, the price question comes down to whether buyers can defend the current range and overcome the bearish hourly structure at $1.55.
