Bulls Propel XRP Higher, Smashing Key Resistance Levels

XRP Bulls Push Higher as Price Breaks Resistance, Eyes $2.40 Target

XRP is signaling bullish intent despite global market jitters, as traders target a climb toward $2.40 after blasting through key resistance levels.

The payments-focused token advanced 3.6% in the past 24 hours, hitting a session peak at $2.33 before cooling off near $2.25. Traders seized on recent volatility, driving XRP past resistance at $2.21 and establishing new support around $2.29, reflecting strong buyer appetite even during brief pullbacks to $2.23.

Macro and Market Context

While the broader crypto market has been shaken by U.S.-China trade tensions and diverging central bank policies, XRP has held up comparatively well, buoyed by confidence in its role as a cross-border payment asset.

Institutional interest is also gathering steam. Hints of a potential spot XRP ETF, coupled with sizeable block trades on major exchanges, suggest larger players may be positioning for regulatory clarity that could act as a bullish catalyst.

Trading Action Snapshot

XRP traded in a volatile 7.5% range between $2.177 and $2.338, driven by aggressive buying from 11:00 to 16:00 that forced the breakout above $2.21.
Profit-taking saw prices slip back to $2.23 during the 22:00–23:00 session, on significant volume exceeding 100 million tokens traded.
Buyers returned swiftly: a rapid spike at 01:32 lifted prices from $2.247 to $2.255 on 1.6 million tokens traded.
Late-session selling briefly pierced $2.250 support, with a fresh floor emerging around $2.246 as bullish momentum held steady.

Technical Picture

Former resistance at $2.21 now acts as support, while the next upside test lies at $2.30.
Solid support has formed between $2.246 and $2.29, tested several times.
Volume spikes on both upswings and dips underscore conviction on both sides of the trade.
Fibonacci extensions from the session’s lows point to a potential rally target near $2.40 if current support zones stay intact.

XRP remains firmly on traders’ watchlists as momentum builds—and all eyes are on whether bulls can drive the next leg higher.
