What to know:
- XRP rose 1.79% from $2.89 to $2.95 between July 15 13:00 and July 16 12:00, after dropping as low as $2.84 early in the session.
- Trading volume spiked to 134.08 million during the initial decline, with strong buy-side absorption near $2.84–$2.85.
- In the final hour, price rebounded from $2.94 to $2.95 on back-to-back volume bursts of 1.3 million and 1.8 million, validating breakout strength.
- Overall session range: $2.84–$2.96 (3.73% volatility).
News Background
After a volatile start, XRP regained composure and climbed steadily throughout the day. Analysts attribute this rebound to corporate treasury inflows and tactical rotation into digital settlement assets.
While $3.00 remains a psychological barrier, intraday structure now reflects growing bid support and breakout conviction — with positioning ahead of the July 18 ProShares ETF launch likely reinforcing flows.

Price Action Summary
- Range: $2.84 → $2.96 | Net Gain: $0.06 (1.79%)
- Support Zone: $2.84–$2.85 validated by institutional buying
- Breakout Levels: $2.94 cleared during final hour after multiple rejections earlier
- Final Hour (11:11–12:10): XRP rose from $2.94 → $2.95 (+0.69%)
- Volume Spikes: 1.3 million (11:46), 1.8 million (11:56) on upside breakout
Technical Analysis
- Recovery from $2.84 coincided with elevated volume and clear support zone formation
- Final-hour breakout above $2.94 confirms near-term bullish bias
- Uptrend channel forming on intraday charts; short-term resistance: $2.96
- If $2.95–$2.96 is flipped into support, breakout to $3.00–$3.05 becomes actionable
- Bearish invalidation level sits at $2.88 on renewed weakness
What Traders Are Watching
- Can XRP close above $2.95 on expanding volume to confirm breakout structure?
- Watch for a decisive move above $2.96 to open the $3.00–$3.05 range
- Support must hold at $2.85–$2.88 to keep bullish channel intact
- Institutional volume >100 million and breakouts with 2 million+ bursts are key tells
Takeaway
XRP’s session was defined by early weakness — and strong recovery. Volume-supported buying at $2.84 and a clean push into $2.95 have reestablished bullish momentum.
Now, all eyes are on $3.00. A break above that level — with real volume — could unleash the next leg higher.
