XRP rises 3% as $1.14 breakout turns into support test

Markets XRP rises 3% as $1.14 breakout turns into support test Heavy volume pushed XRP through resistance, but sellers met the move near $1.16 and left traders watching whether former resistance can now hold as support.

Despite a ninth straight week of net inflows into XRP spot ETFs, most holders remain underwater, with 30-day and 365-day MVRV near minus 45% and minus 47%. Traders are watching support at $1.14 to $1.145 and resistance at $1.155 and then $1.17 to $1.20 to determine whether the move becomes a sustained uptrend. XRP finally pushed through the $1.14 level that had capped recent attempts higher, but the move did not run cleanly into the next resistance band. Buyers drove the token as high as $1.158 on heavy volume before sellers forced a pullback toward $1.146, turning the session into a test of whether former resistance can now act as support. News Background • XRP spot ETFs recorded a ninth consecutive week of net inflows, adding $17.19 million despite broader market uncertainty. • The CLARITY Act missed its expected timeline after the Senate adjourned for recess without a floor vote, leaving regulatory catalysts delayed. • Santiment data showed XRP’s 30-day MVRV near -45% and 365-day MVRV near -47%, meaning most holders remained underwater across both shorter and longer timeframes. • Several analysts pointed to improving technical structures, including a 4-hour downtrend break, bullish divergence and a possible Elliott Wave advance. Price Action Summary • XRP rose from $1.1344 to $1.1454 during the 24-hour session, gaining 2.87%. • The breakout came at 22:00 UTC on July 5, when volume reached 81.89 million XRP, about 207% above the 24-hour average. • The move carried XRP from $1.1356 to $1.1594 in two hours, clearing resistance near $1.1400. • Sellers later emerged near $1.158, pulling XRP back toward $1.146 and breaking the short-term $1.150 support level. Technical Analysis • The key development is that XRP cleared $1.1400 on strong volume, turning that level into the first support area to watch. • The pullback from $1.158 does not erase the breakout, but it shows sellers remain active before the $1.17-$1.20 resistance zone. • The 60-minute chart weakened after XRP failed to reclaim $1.155, creating a tighter range between $1.145 and $1.151. • The broader short-term structure remains constructive as long as XRP holds above the breakout area near $1.14. • A decisive loss of $1.145 would weaken the move and shift focus back toward $1.142 and then $1.133. What traders should watch • $1.1400-$1.145 is the key support zone after the breakout. • $1.155 is the first resistance level after repeated failed reclaim attempts. • $1.17-$1.20 is the next major zone bulls need to clear for continuation. • A break above $1.20 would shift attention toward $1.29-$1.30, where prior breakdown levels sit. • Until XRP clears $1.155 and then $1.17, the market remains a breakout-test setup rather than a confirmed trend move.
