Ethereum Rockets Past $3,420 as XRP Holds Steady Above $3 - Crypto Markets Heat Up
Ethereum blasts through resistance levels like a DeFi rocket ship—meanwhile, XRP plays it cool, clinging to its $3 foothold while traders hold their breath.
ETH Flexes Its Muscle
The second-largest crypto isn’t just knocking on $3,420’s door—it kicked it down. Bulls are charging, leaving bears scrambling to explain why they shorted the smart contract king.
XRP’s Steady Hand
No fireworks here—just Ripple’s token doing its best impression of a stablecoin. At $3+, it’s either a masterclass in consolidation or a coiled spring (depending on who’s shilling their bags).
The Bottom Line
Crypto’s proving again it doesn’t need Wall Street’s permission to print gains—though good luck explaining these moves to your traditional finance uncle still waiting for ‘the blockchain fad’ to end.
Meanwhile, XRP has made an even steeper climb on the weekly chart, rising by 29.30% to trade at $3.13. Despite a minor hourly dip of 0.83%, XRP is still up 7.01% on the day. Its market capitalization has reached $185.4 billion, supported by a 24-hour trading volume of $10.9 billion.

This surge comes amid a broader altcoin rebound, with both ethereum and XRP outperforming Bitcoin on a weekly percentage basis. Ethereum’s steady growth suggests bullish sentiment surrounding its ecosystem and potential ETF inflows, while XRP’s breakout appears to be fueled by renewed legal clarity and speculation around banking partnerships.
As ETH inches toward $3,500 and XRP holds above $3, traders will be watching for signs of consolidation or continuation in this volatile but bullish environment.
