XRP is trading at $1.3351, up 3.01% on the day. This week for the first time the chart and ETF tape are telling opposite stories, making this an intriguing XRP price forecast.<\/p>\n

Spot XRP funds shed 3.97 million XRP on Sept. 17. Canary\u2019s XRPC losing 1.06 million and 21Shares\u2019 TOXR 2.91 million: roughly $5.3 million at current prices. That wiped out the prior session\u2019s 2.73 million XRP inflow from Franklin Templeton\u2019s XRPZ and snapped the zero-redemption streak that defined the week.

The flow leadership flipped alongside it. Bitcoin spot ETFs took in a net 2,090 BTC on Sept. 17, their first green session after shedding 3,910 BTC and 5,760 BTC on the two prior days, with BlackRock\u2019s IBIT adding 2,410 BTC against modest redemptions at Fidelity and Bitwise\u2019s HODL.<\/p>\n

Ethereum funds stayed negative but bled less: 16,260 ETH out, versus 93,490 ETH the day before, almost entirely from BlackRock\u2019s ETHA. The backdrop is a Federal Reserve rate hike on Wednesday, which is still working through risk assets.<\/p>\n

Cumulative XRP ETF inflows remain at 923.66 million XRP since launch, so one red session doesn\u2019t undo the structural bid. It does sharpen the question at the center of any XRP price forecast today: is a 3% rally on negative flows conviction, or short covering?<\/p>\n

Price is back above the 200-day simple moving average at $1.2723, which flipped from ceiling to floor when XRP broke out of the $1.00 zone in late August. Horizontal support sits just underneath at $1.2611: a tight shelf, meaning a daily close below $1.26 takes out both levels at once. Overhead, $1.5368 is the line that has capped every attempt since the Q4 2024 spike.<\/p>\n

Bull case: buyers hold the 200-day SMA, flows turn positive again, and XRP grinds through $1.40 toward $1.5368. Base case: a $1.27\u2013$1.40 range while ETF flows alternate red and green. Bear case: outflows continue, and a close under $1.2611 opens a retest of $1.10, invalidating the August structure.<\/p>\n

The honest XRP price forecast here is that flows are the tell, not the candle. One day of redemptions is noise; three would make the current bounce a lower high.<\/p>\n
