Buyers defended a higher low in XRP, pushing the token toward nearby resistance, though a clean break above $1.10 is still needed to confirm sustained upside momentum.
XRP is gradually forming a higher base above the $1 level following last week’s pullback. During U.S. trading hours, the token advanced while repeatedly holding support at $1.08 and briefly testing $1.10 before sellers stepped in. The setup remains constructive but incomplete, with traders watching for whether recent accumulation develops into a decisive breakout.
News Background
• XRP wallet creation rose to 4,941 daily addresses, the strongest single-day increase in 14 weeks.
• Bullish sentiment hit a three-month high, with positive mentions outweighing negative ones by 3.7-to-1.
• Ripple completed its scheduled unlock of 1 billion XRP from escrow without notable price disruption.
• XRP largely tracked broader crypto market moves, showing limited token-specific divergence versus the CD5 index.
Price Action Summary
• XRP climbed from $1.0611 to $1.0894, gaining 0.62% over the session.
• Higher lows formed at $1.0552, $1.0589, and $1.0799, indicating steady buyer support at rising levels.
• Volume increased 26.92% above the seven-day average, signaling active participation.

Technical Analysis
• The reclaim of $1.08 has turned it into immediate support.
• The higher-low structure improves the short-term outlook after weeks of consolidation near $1.
• Rising volume during the advance suggests active buying interest rather than passive drift.
• Repeated rejection at $1.1087 shows resistance remains firmly in place.
• A sustained move above $1.10–$1.12 is required to confirm a breakout phase.
Key Levels to Watch
• $1.08 remains the key support level.
• $1.0611 is next downside support if $1.08 fails.
• $1.10–$1.1087 marks immediate resistance.
• A breakout above $1.1087 opens $1.12–$1.13.
• Until then, XRP remains in a constructive consolidation rather than a confirmed trend breakout.
