XRP is trading near $1.44 after rebounding from the $1.31 area and briefly approaching $1.48, with a weekly gain of roughly 6% to 7%. Profit-taking has kept the token below its recent highs, while traders are focusing on Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s support for completing the administration’s crypto agenda ahead of a scheduled U.S. Senate cloture vote on the CLARITY Act on September 15 at 2:15 p.m. ET. The vote is procedural, not a final passage vote, and requires 60 votes to open formal Senate consideration. The legislation remains contested over stablecoin rewards, DeFi rules, ethics provisions and consumer protections. XRP’s near-term setup centers on support around $1.35 and resistance at $1.48 to $1.50; a break above that range could bring $1.60 into focus, while a loss of $1.35 could expose the low $1.30s. Coinbase prediction markets price roughly a 67% probability of XRP reaching $1.60 during September, while projections assign a 41% probability of exceeding $2 in 2026 and about 29% for surpassing $2.50. Longer-term year-end outcomes remain spread between $1.25 and $2.50.
