What to know:

  • XRP rose 1.79% from $2.89 to $2.95 between July 15 13:00 and July 16 12:00, after dropping as low as $2.84 early in the session.
  • Trading volume spiked to 134.08 million during the initial decline, with strong buy-side absorption near $2.84–$2.85.

News Background
After a volatile start, XRP regained composure and climbed steadily throughout the day. Analysts attribute this rebound to corporate treasury inflows and tactical rotation into digital settlement assets.
While $3.00 remains a psychological barrier, intraday structure now reflects growing bid support and breakout conviction — with positioning ahead of the July 18 ProShares ETF launch likely reinforcing flows.

What Traders Are Watching

  • Can XRP close above $2.95 on expanding volume to confirm breakout structure?
  • Watch for a decisive move above $2.96 to open the $3.00–$3.05 range
  • Support must hold at $2.85–$2.88 to keep bullish channel intact
  • Institutional volume >100 million and breakouts with 2 million+ bursts are key tells

Takeaway
XRP’s session was defined by early weakness — and strong recovery. Volume-supported buying at $2.84 and a clean push into $2.95 have reestablished bullish momentum.
Now, all eyes are on $3.00. A break above that level — with real volume — could unleash the next leg higher.
