XRP Price Struggles to Break Above Key Level $1.65

The XRP price is currently holding near $1.45 as traders wait for a clear signal to break above the key level of $1.65, according to market data shared by CW.

Whale long positions on Binance and OKX have improved, but smart money sentiment remains bearish on both exchanges, with Bybit whales showing near-neutral positioning at 0.98.

The price is being watched closely against a wider chart structure, with EGRAG Crypto pointing to the $1.65 level as the key confirmation point for a bullish breakout.

If XRP fails to break and hold above $1.65, it could continue moving along the falling structure, potentially leading to a retest of the 333 EMA and lower support levels before another move higher.
