XRP trades near $1.31 at support as AI forecasts a pause and EGRAG Crypto projects a $7–$9 cycle range

XRP has fallen into the $1.24–$1.32 demand zone and was trading near $1.31 on Oct. 19, after failing to sustain a rebound around $1.40. CryptoNews and CryptoPotato describe a sequence of lower highs and bearish daily candles, with sellers still in control; they say a relief bounce is possible if support holds, while a move toward $2 would require a stronger recovery ^{[1] [2]}.

Finbold’s AI system forecast that XRP’s decline since early October would likely pause, but not reverse, by Nov. 1, 2026, based on technical indicators ^[3].

Separately, analyst EGRAG Crypto projected a possible $7–$9 price range in the current market cycle based on a Bitcoin-inspired 77-day fractal. The analyst also outlined a potential move toward $1.80–$2 followed by a correction to $1.50, and said reclaiming $2 would strengthen the broader outlook ^[4].
