XRP Breakout Fueled by Institutional Flows Targets $3.60 Mark

XRP pierced the $3.00 psychological threshold in a heavy-volume session that signaled strong institutional flows.
The rally carried the token from $2.96 to $2.99 in 24 hours, with midday breakouts on volumes six times the daily average.
Despite facing resistance near $3.02, the market structure suggests accumulation, with bulls defending support around $2.98 as traders gauge momentum for a push toward higher extension levels.

• The September 10 midday rally was fueled by a volume explosion of 116.7M and 119.0M units within the 12:00–13:00 hour, far exceeding the 24-hour average of 48.3M.
• Futures open interest climbed to $7.94B, showing heightened derivatives positioning alongside spot activity.
