- XRP price prediction stays bullish above $1.44, needing $1.53 to reopen the path toward $1.65
- XRP ETFs extended their inflow streak to 12 weeks, though the latest week slowed to $4.75 million
- Ripple Prime will provide prime brokerage and clearing to Brevan Howard funds
XRP price prediction for October 8 stays bullish above $1.44, the level XRP needs to hold after slipping back to the floor of its triangle.
XRP Price Analysis: Can XRP Hold $1.44 at the Floor of Its Triangle?
XRP keeps its triangle intact as long as it holds $1.44. It trades near $1.47, down 1.58% today, after slipping under the 20-day EMA at $1.48. Today’s low of $1.4403 touched the triangle’s rising lower line, so a daily close below it would break the pattern. The upper line sits near $1.64, and the two lines meet near $1.61 in late October, which forces a decisive move within weeks.
Support is stacked just below, with the 50-day EMA at $1.40 and the 200-day at $1.38 close together and the 100-day at $1.33 beneath them. To turn back up, XRP first has to reclaim $1.48 and then clear $1.53, near the October 5 high. That would put the upper line and the $1.70 August high back in range. RSI at 51.92 sits mid-range, so momentum is neutral.

XRP News: Ripple Prime Signs Brevan Howard for Prime Brokerage and Clearing
Ripple announced on October 6 that Ripple Prime will provide multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing to Brevan Howard funds, expanding an existing relationship. Funds run by Brevan Howard affiliates also took part in Ripple’s $500 million strategic investment in 2025.
Brevan Howard’s group COO, Alan McGroarty, said Ripple has “built a differentiated platform” for institutional digital asset infrastructure. For XRP holders, this is a business win for Ripple rather than a direct catalyst, since the release is Ripple’s own and does not mention demand for the XRP token.
XRP News: Large Wallets Added 1.32 Billion XRP in a Month, Rain Says
Rain, who posts on X as @raintures, said XRP gained more than 43% last quarter without a matching rise in leverage. He pointed to two figures:
- Binance and Upbit XRP reserves fell by about 104.7 million XRP over the past month, while wallets holding 10 million to 100 million XRP grew their combined balance from 12.48 billion to 13.8 billion.
- Binance XRP open interest, the total value of open bets, is about $517 million, against roughly $1.3 billion last October.
He asked whether leverage will chase spot buying if XRP clears $1.53. The figures are his and this post does not name a data source.
XRP News: Gert van Lagen Sees a $50 Target From a Monthly Triangle
Analyst Gert van Lagen posted a monthly chart of a triangle that he says targets about $50, a level that would put XRP’s market cap near $3 trillion. In a follow-up he said a repeat of 2017’s 50-fold jump in XRP against Bitcoin, which took two months, would imply XRP at $50 with Bitcoin at $450,000.

At $1.47, $50 would be a gain of about 3,300%, so this is a long-range framework and not an October call, and it rests on one analyst’s reading of the chart.
XRP ETF Flows: 12th Straight Weekly Inflow Slows to $4.75 Million
US spot XRP ETFs took in $4.75 million in the week ending October 2, down from $75.59 million the week before, though it was still the 12th straight week of net inflows according to SoSoValue.
This week has added $3.14 million so far, all of it on Tuesday, when Bitwise’s XRP fund drew $10.55 million and outweighed outflows of $4.07 million from Franklin’s XRPZ and $3.34 million from Canary’s XRPC.
| ETF Metric | Value |
| Weekly net inflow, week ending Oct 2 | +$4.75M |
| Weekly net inflow, week ending Sep 25 | +$75.59M |
| Net inflow, week to Oct 6 (three days left) | +$3.14M |
| Cumulative net inflow | $1.79B |
XRP Price Prediction for October 8: Can XRP Reach $1.65 or Fall to $1.38?
Bullish Case, Target: $1.65
XRP holds the rising lower line near $1.44, reclaims the 20-day EMA at $1.48 and closes a day above $1.53. That puts the upper line near $1.65 in range. A pickup in ETF inflows, and in the leverage Rain says has not followed spot buying, would support the move.
Bearish Case, Risk Level: $1.38 (200-Day EMA)
XRP loses the lower line near $1.44 and the 50-day EMA at $1.40, which would break the triangle to the downside. A daily close below the 200-day EMA at $1.38 would expose the 100-day at $1.33, and another slow week of ETF inflows would fit that path.

FAQs: XRP Outlook for October 8, 2026
XRP could extend toward $1.53 and then $1.65 if it holds above $1.44 and reclaims the 20-day EMA at $1.48. A daily close below the 200-day EMA at $1.38 would put the 100-day EMA at $1.33 in play.
$2.00 would need a gain of about 36% from $1.47, and XRP would first have to clear the triangle’s upper line near $1.64 and the $1.70 August high. $50 would need about 3,300%, and Gert van Lagen’s framework treats that as a long-range target rather than a near-term forecast.
Yes, if it loses the rising lower line near $1.44. $1.40 is a drop of about 5%, and the 50-day EMA at $1.40 and the 200-day at $1.38 sit right there.
Yes, but more slowly. US spot XRP ETFs took in $4.75 million in the week ending October 2, down from $75.59 million the week before, according to SoSoValue, and cumulative net inflows stand at $1.79 billion.
