Breakout Attempt Fades: XRP Holds $1.14 but Momentum Slows

Rewritten Version:

Buyers stepped in at lower levels, helping XRP rebound toward resistance, but subdued volume continues to limit upside, leaving the market waiting for a clear breakout above $1.13–$1.14.

XRP is attempting to extend its recent recovery, though momentum remains tentative. After dipping toward $1.11, the token saw renewed buying interest, lifting prices higher, but the move lacked conviction. Traders are now focused on whether the $1.13–$1.14 range can flip into support or remain a barrier.


News Background

  • XRP spot ETFs recorded a ninth straight week of inflows, totaling $17.19 million despite ongoing regulatory uncertainty.
  • The CLARITY Act lost near-term traction after a planned Senate vote was postponed ahead of the congressional recess.
  • Analysts continue to monitor a long-term descending trendline, with $1.14–$1.18 identified as a critical breakout zone.
  • Technical indicators show early improvement, including bullish divergence from $1.02 and a potential Elliott Wave formation, though confirmation is still needed.

Price Action Overview

  • XRP traded around $1.1238 over the past 24 hours, holding above $1.11 following a sharp decline.
  • The token lagged the broader CD5 index by 143 basis points, reflecting weaker relative performance.
  • Trading volume rose 16.19% above the weekly average—active, but not strong enough to confirm a breakout.
  • The largest volume cluster formed near $1.1110, with 106.5 million XRP traded, about 129% above average.
  • Prices later tested $1.1507 but failed to maintain gains at that level.

Technical Analysis

  • Support near $1.11 remains intact, but XRP has yet to establish a sustained move above the $1.13–$1.14 resistance zone.
  • The earlier breakout above $1.08 still holds, though further upside depends on stronger buying pressure.
  • Rejection near $1.1507 indicates continued selling pressure at higher levels.
  • Short-term structure weakened after a failed move near $1.1308, followed by a pullback to $1.1249, forming a lower high.
  • Overall, XRP continues to trade within a range between $1.11 support and $1.14–$1.15 resistance.

Key Levels to Watch

  • $1.1110: Critical support level holding the range.
  • $1.1249–$1.1270: Near-term support after the latest pullback.
  • $1.1308–$1.1325: Initial resistance that needs to be reclaimed.
  • $1.14–$1.15: Major resistance zone capping upside.

A sustained move above $1.15 could open the path toward $1.17–$1.20, while a drop below $1.1110 would weaken the current setup and shift focus back to $1.08.
