XRP’s latest move exposed a clear disconnect: payment volume on the XRP Ledger surged to nearly 1 billion XRP in a single day, yet the token still fell alongside the broader crypto market. With a wider selloff and a large options expiry weighing on digital assets, strong network activity alone was not enough to change the immediate tone.
XRP’s price action pressed up against resistance at $1.05, only to retreat. The chart showed support near $1.01, with the last price just under $1.05. The pattern highlighted that failed breakout attempt.
The cleaner read here is technical: XRP tested that $1.047 to $1.05 resistance band, failed to break through, and then slipped back toward $1. So the near-term focus is less about headline ledger activity and more about whether buyers can reclaim that breakout zone or whether price starts leaning on support around $1.01.
XRP’s next move around that $1 area, after the failed break near $1.05, sets tomorrow’s risk tone.
