News Background
The Securities and Exchange Commission and Ripple Labs officially ended their multi-year legal battle, jointly dismissing appeals in the XRP case. The resolution removes a long-standing regulatory overhang and opens the door for broader corporate and institutional adoption.
The rally comes alongside heightened derivatives activity and bullish technical setups, with some institutional research desks targeting $4.50-$5.00 as potential medium-term upside.
Price Action Summary
• XRP gains 11% as price breaks above $3.00 psychological barrier on surging institutional volumes
• $3.15-$3.16 emerges as strong accumulation zone following 07:00 selloff from $3.24
• Late-session breakout clears $3.22 resistance on sustained large-order flow above 4 million units
• Session range spans $0.11 (3% volatility) between $3.27 high and $3.15 low
Market Analysis and Economic Factors
Regulatory clarity triggered aggressive corporate treasury rebalancing and new speculative inflows from institutional desks. The $3.15 support zone now acts as a key reference for short-term risk management, while $3.24-$3.27 serves as near-term resistance.
Breakout confirmation above this band could accelerate momentum toward higher technical targets, especially if ETF-related flows in Japan spill over into U.S. markets.
