# XRP Closes at $1.31 on Oct. 18, Above Its Aug. 14 Snapshot By Enna Lee Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/34871 Published: 2026-10-19T15:52:02.000Z Updated: 2026-10-19T15:52:02.000Z Section: Investing > Bitcoin (BTC) closed at $82,020, compared with $62,975.59 in the August snapshot. The two observations do not establish the odds of an XRP rebound. XRP (XRP) closed at $1.31 on Oct. 18, above its $0.998 price in an Aug. 14 snapshot, providing a price reference for discussion of the $1.25 chart level. At 8 p.m. ET Oct. 18 (00:00 UTC Oct. 19), Bitcoin (BTC) closed at $82,020. The Aug. 14 snapshot listed Bitcoin at $62,975.59. Both assets were higher at the later observation. XRP’s October close was $0.06 above $1.25 and $0.31 above $1. The $1.25 level is 25% above a rounded $1 price and about 25.3% above the recorded Aug. 14 price of $0.998. The August figures come from a snapshot with no specified observation time, while the October figures are UTC daily closes. Those two observations show where prices stood on each date. They do not establish sustained Bitcoin strength or make a rebound from $1.25 more likely. An [earlier hourly-channel analysis identified $1.25 as a possible lower boundary]().
