XRP saw a volatile session, trading between $2.76 and $2.86, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and monetary policy uncertainty. Whales accumulated roughly 340 million XRP ($960M) near the $2.76 lows, signaling continued institutional interest despite broader market weakness.
Analysts are split: some caution that a break below $2.76 could drive prices toward $2.50, while others see upside potential above $4.00 if $3.30 resistance is breached.
