News Background

Market conditions remained uncertain as crypto sentiment continues to digest recent ETF-related volatility and liquidation activity. Despite this, XRP showed signs of technical resilience, supported by signs of institutional buying pressure. Broader narratives around XRP's utility in cross-border payments and DeFi integration continue to underpin long-term interest.

Price Action Summary

• XRP declined to $3.16 around 09:00 before reversing higher
• Afternoon session saw volumes surge to 81.78M and 69.06M at 16:00 and 17:00, well above the 24-hour average of 38.25M
• The token traded in a narrow $0.07 range, or 2.17% spread, between $3.15 and $3.23
• Final hour rally lifted XRP from $3.21 to $3.22 with strong volume at $3.20-$3.22 levels

Technical Analysis

XRP formed a clean ascending channel throughout the session, with a series of higher lows from $3.16 to $3.22. Resistance near $3.23 capped gains, but the strong bounce from $3.20 in the final hour showed momentum strength. Volume spikes of 2.11M at 20:02 and 1.97M at 20:08 confirmed institutional interest and accumulation patterns. XRP now needs to decisively break and hold above $3.23 to confirm a short-term bullish continuation.

What Traders Are Watching

• Can XRP hold above $3.20 amid broader market consolidation?
• Will follow-through volume emerge to test the $3.25–$3.30 range?
• Institutional inflows remain key as spot volumes surge above average in recovery phases
• Technical traders eye confirmation of ascending channel breakout toward $3.30+
