XRP traded around $1.35-$1.36 on Monday as markets prepared for a September 15 Senate cloture vote on the CLARITY Act and a Federal Reserve interest-rate announcement on Wednesday. The procedural vote requires 60 affirmative votes to advance the legislation, while Republicans hold 53 Senate seats. President Trump met advisers Friday to discuss ethics provisions in the cryptocurrency bill, and outstanding questions include stablecoin rewards and the final ethics language. A revised draft includes more than 114 changes requested by Democratic senators, CFTC (U.S. derivatives regulator) registration for ostensibly decentralized DeFi (decentralized finance) protocols involved in spot trading, Bank Secrecy Act obligations, and provisions covering credit-union digital-asset services. Futures markets price a roughly 90% chance of a 25-basis-point rate increase, while August year-over-year inflation was 3.4%. Technically, XRP’s RSI was near 53 and MACD remained slightly negative, indicating neutral momentum and consolidation. The token found support at $1.33 and its 200-day EMA (exponential moving average) near $1.354, with additional support cited at $1.31-$1.35 and resistance at $1.37, $1.40 and $1.45. A break above $1.38 could open a path toward $1.60, while a move below $1.33 could send XRP toward $1.30.
