CoinDesk
XRP jumped 3% after breaking a months-long downtrend, with increased trading volume suggesting bullish momentum.Summary
XRP experienced a 3% price increase, breaking above the $1.39 resistance level and ending a downtrend that began in early 2026. This breakout was accompanied by a surge in trading volume, exceeding 300%, indicating renewed bullish momentum. Despite $3.9 million in outflows from U.S.-listed XRP ETFs, activity on the XRP Ledger rose to approximately 2.7 million daily transactions, driven by real-world asset tokenization projects. Traders are now focused on whether XRP can maintain the $1.39–$1.40 range as support, which could lead to further gains towards $1.44 and $1.50. A failure to hold this level could result in a price decline back to the $1.34–$1.37 support band.
