Summary
XRP bounced sharply from last week’s selloff, reclaiming $1.14 on its strongest volume in weeks. Buyers pushed the token through resistance near $1.12 and kept buying into the close, a change from the short-lived rebounds that have repeatedly faded since February.
The next test sits higher up, as every major recovery this year has stalled before reaching the $1.20-$1.25 area.
• Ripple said Bitso’s MXN-backed stablecoin MXNB will launch on the XRP Ledger and integrate with its Payments on Decentralized Exchange infrastructure, expanding regulated cross-border settlement between the U.S. and Mexico.
• Ripple’s RLUSD and Bitso’s MXNB are designed to provide on-chain dollar and peso liquidity for enterprise payment flows, adding another institutional use case for XRPL infrastructure.
• The initiative builds around XRPL’s Permissioned DEX, a framework aimed at regulated financial participants rather than retail users.
• XRP rose from $1.1080 to $1.1442 during the 24-hour session, gaining 3.3%.
• The key move came during the June 11 17:00 UTC session, when volume surged to 120.2 million XRP, more than 160% above average, pushing price through resistance near $1.1220.
• Momentum accelerated into the close, with XRP breaking above $1.14 on some of the strongest hourly buying seen in weeks.
• The rally is notable because it started from the same $1.09 area many analysts had identified as major macro support.
• Volume confirmed the move. Unlike recent recovery attempts that faded quickly, this advance came with meaningful participation rather than thin liquidity.
• Even so, XRP remains below the larger descending trendline that has defined the broader downtrend since early 2026.
• The market is effectively trapped between a short-term bullish reversal and a longer-term bearish structure. Until one breaks, both scenarios remain viable.
• $1.14 now becomes the first support level bulls need to defend after the breakout.
• The bigger level is $1.20-$1.25. Multiple analysts have identified that zone as the line separating a genuine trend reversal from another failed rally.
• A clean break above $1.25 would shift attention toward $1.40 and potentially the $1.50 area.
• Failure near resistance would reinforce the broader downtrend and put focus back on the $1.09 support zone, with some bearish analysts still pointing to the possibility of a final move toward $0.90 before a larger bottom forms.
