Ripple-linked token climbs 4% to $1.18 as traders test next resistance zone

Share This Post

XRP’s rebound is starting to look less like a dead-cat bounce and more like a market trying to build a base.

Buyers pushed the token through $1.14 and then $1.18 on the strongest volume seen since the selloff began, forcing traders to focus on whether the recovery can carry into the $1.20-$1.30 resistance zone that has capped previous rallies.

News Background

• XRP-linked ETFs have attracted roughly $1.4 billion in cumulative inflows since launching, with May marking the strongest month of institutional demand so far.

• More than 25 million XRP recently left exchanges, extending a trend that suggests long-term holders are accumulating despite the broader market weakness.

• Whale addresses holding significant XRP balances climbed to a record high, reinforcing the view that larger investors have been adding exposure during the correction.

Price Action Summary

• XRP rose from $1.1503 to $1.1866 during the 24-hour session, gaining more than 3%.

• The key move came during the June 14 21:00 UTC session, when volume surged to 107.6 million XRP, more than four times the daily average, pushing price through resistance near $1.14.

• Momentum carried into the close, with XRP briefly reaching $1.1928 before consolidating above $1.18.

Technical Analysis

• The most important development was the reclaim of the $1.14-$1.15 area. That zone acted as resistance throughout the recent decline and has now flipped into support.
