XRP Price News: ETF Accumulation and Decreasing Exchange Supply, Is an XRP Uptrend Structure Forming?

XRP-2,07%

XRP price recently broke through the key level of $2.12 with strong momentum. Coupled with above-average trading volume, it successfully moved above the resistance zone that had previously been repeatedly tested. This upward movement occurs against the backdrop of a continuous decline in XRP balances on exchanges and the stable absorption of market supply by the US spot XRP ETF, giving this rally a stronger structural foundation and once again drawing market attention to XRP’s price trend and short- to medium-term outlook.

From a fundamental perspective, institutional demand for regulated XRP products remains ongoing. Earlier this week, the US-listed spot XRP ETF recorded approximately $13.59 million in net inflows in a single day. Unlike event-driven capital, such sustained and stable inflows often serve to absorb selling pressure during price fluctuations, providing a buffer for the spot price. This is also a key reason why many traders view ETF capital flows as a medium-term bullish factor.

Meanwhile, the XRP supply on exchanges is approaching multi-year lows. Historical experience shows that a decline in exchange balances usually indicates a reduction in tokens available for immediate sale, which does not necessarily directly push prices higher. However, once demand recovers, price elasticity tends to be significantly amplified. As XRP’s market cap rose to about $121.7 billion during the day, the scale of participation and market attention in this rally also increased noticeably.

On-chain data also signals a somewhat positive trend. The average daily transaction count on the XRP Ledger has rebounded to nearly 1 million, indicating improved network activity. This suggests that the current rally is not solely driven by short-term speculation but is also supported by a certain level of genuine usage and transfer demand.

From a technical standpoint, XRP rose about 2.04% today, successfully breaking through the critical resistance zone of $2.10–$2.12. The trading volume was approximately 47.6% higher than the 7-day average, providing effective confirmation of the breakout. After the breakout, the price did not quickly fall back but instead consolidated within the $2.128–$2.152 range, testing the $2.128 support multiple times, indicating that bulls are still attempting to solidify the breakout.

The current market structure is leaning positive: the price is consolidating above the previous resistance level rather than rapidly falling back into the range. Key resistance above is located in the $2.15–$2.16 area. If this level can be effectively broken, short-term targets may point toward $2.20 or even $2.28; conversely, if the $2.128 level is lost, the price could retest the previous lower boundary around $2.06.

Overall, the combination of ETF capital inflows, declining exchange XRP supply, and volume breakout forms an ideal resonance. Although there are still selling pressures above, the improved structure and supply-demand relationship suggest that once key levels are confirmed to be broken, XRP’s upward speed could surpass market expectations. At this stage, whether the $2.12–$2.13 range can hold during a retest will be a crucial signal to determine whether this XRP rally continues upward or reverts to a consolidation phase.
