XRP Primed for Breakout: Traders Double Down as Momentum Surges

XRP bulls are back in the driver's seat—price action flashes the greenest rally signals since Q2.

The Setup:

A 48-hour volume spike shattered resistance levels that had been gathering dust since the SEC lawsuit hangover. Market depth now mirrors pre-2023 bull run conditions.

Why Traders Are Loading Up:

Futures open interest just ripped past $1B—the 'smart money' cohort flipped net-long while retail FOMO barely registers. Classic stealth accumulation phase.

The Catch:

Every crypto rally needs a villain. This time? The same institutional traders now going long were shorting XRP at $0.45 last month. Some things never change—except price charts.

XRP Price Retains Gains

XRP price started a fresh increase after it settled above the $2.750 level, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above the $2.850 resistance level.

The recent MOVE was positive and the bulls pushed the price above the $3.00 level. A high was formed at $3.0324 and the price is now correcting gains. There was a move below $2.90 level, and the price spiked below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.660 swing low to the $3.0324 high.

However, the bulls were active near the $2.80 support zone. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2.880 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The price is now trading above $2.850 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.9450 level. The first major resistance is near the $3.00 level. A clear move above the $3.00 resistance might send the price toward the $3.080 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.120 resistance or even $3.150 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near the $3.20 zone.

Downside Break?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.9450 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.880 level and the trend line zone. The next major support is near the $2.840 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.840 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.750 support. The next major support sits near the $2.650 zone.
