XRP Price Hinges on Fed Decision, CLARITY Act Fate Ahead of Q4

XRP has already seen significant price swings in 2026, with a 100%+ move so far this year. With two weeks left before Q4 begins on October 1, the token's price could see another large swing.

The Federal Reserve's decision today and the fate of the CLARITY Act will be crucial in determining XRP's next direction. If the Fed signals a single rate hike and not a new tightening cycle, it could lead to a relief rally in bond yields and risk assets, potentially lifting XRP's price.

A second attempt at passing the CLARITY Act, continued ETF inflows, an oversold bounce off key support, or a dovish signal from today's Fed decision could also contribute to XRP reaching its bullish target of $1.55 before October 1.
