XRP Treading Water Near $1 as Fed Decision and Crypto Bill Loom

XRP is trading near $1.07 as investors weigh the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate decision and uncertainty around crypto legislation in Washington.

The token has been hovering within a narrow range, with technical levels tightening into a consolidation phase after a broader downtrend.

Analysts commonly identify the $1.00-$1.05 area as key support, while $1.18-$1.20 is viewed as a major resistance band.

The current weakness in XRP is attributed to a 'risk-off' posture ahead of the Fed's guidance on interest rates, with investors trimming exposure to higher-beta assets into event risk.
