XRP Spikes 8% to Clear $1.20 Resistance in First Major Breakout Since June Drop

Here’s another rewrite:


Heavy trading volume drove XRP through several key resistance levels, with traders now evaluating whether the rally can continue toward the $1.30 zone after weeks of cautious positioning.

For the past two weeks, XRP had largely been trying to stabilize its decline. That trend has now shifted into an early-stage recovery attempt to the upside.

The token broke above $1.14, then cleared $1.18, and ultimately reclaimed $1.20 on the strongest volume seen since the early-June selloff, forcing a reassessment of a market that had been positioned for continued weakness.

The move was supported by strengthening XRP-specific activity, including increased flow dominance from South Korea’s Upbit and continued growth in institutional participation via ETF products.

News Background

  • XRP network activity rose across Asia, with Upbit accounting for about 31% of XRP wallet-flow dominance by June 14, up from 13% the previous week.
  • XRP ETF products continued attracting steady inflows, reaching roughly $1.4 billion in cumulative net investment since launch.
  • Analysts highlighted bullish RSI divergence and a completed corrective structure following XRP’s rebound from the $1.05–$1.09 support area.

Price Action Summary

  • XRP climbed from $1.1425 to $1.2307, an increase of roughly 8%.
  • The breakout began during the June 14 21:00 UTC session when volume spiked to 107.6 million XRP, breaking resistance near $1.14.
  • Buying momentum extended through $1.18 and $1.20, with prices peaking near $1.23.

Technical Analysis

  • XRP has now reclaimed multiple levels that repeatedly blocked recovery attempts since the early-June breakdown.
  • The breakout was backed by strong volume, with trading activity running about 22% above the weekly average and showing the most active participation in weeks.
  • Momentum indicators continue to improve, with RSI divergence forming after XRP held support near $1.05 and printed higher lows.
  • While the broader downtrend is still intact on higher timeframes, buyers are now breaking resistance rather than only defending support.

What traders are watching

  • $1.20 is the key support level to maintain the bullish structure.
  • The next resistance area lies between $1.27 and $1.30, where Fibonacci and historical levels converge.
  • A breakout above that range could open a path toward $1.35–$1.40 and strengthen the case for a broader trend reversal.
  • A drop back below $1.18 would weaken momentum and suggest the move is a temporary relief rally rather than a sustained recovery.
