The move reflects a shift in market dynamics rather than a short-lived momentum spike. XRP’s advance has been accompanied by higher trading volumes and sustained demand from regulated investment products, positioning the asset closer to a historically significant resistance zone that has capped upside for several years.
The latest rise in XRP price has coincided with unprecedented inflows into spot XRP ETFs, highlighting a change in the composition of demand. Data shared by market tracker JackTheRippler (@RippleXrpie), citing figures from SoSoValue, shows that ETF clients purchased $46.1 million worth of XRP in a single session, lifting total ETF-held net assets to a record $1.65 billion.

“ETF clients purchased $46.1 million worth of XRP, resulting in a total of $1.65 billion in ETF-held net assets,” JackTheRippler wrote.
CoinDesk’s ETF flow tracker further indicates that U.S.-listed spot XRP ETFs recorded approximately $48 million in net inflows during the prior trading session. Since their launch in late 2025, cumulative inflows into XRP-linked ETFs have surpassed $1.6 billion, placing XRP among the strongest-growing altcoin ETF products by assets under management.
Unlike earlier XRP rallies that were largely driven by retail participation, the current move is unfolding alongside regulated ETF demand. Market analysts note that ETF-related flows tend to be less reactive to short-term volatility, potentially providing a more stable source of liquidity during periods of price consolidation.
From a technical standpoint, the XRP price chart shows the asset trending steadily toward its 2018 all-time high near $3.84. The recent breakout above the $2.28 resistance zone occurred on elevated volume, a condition commonly associated with trend continuation rather than exhaustion.

Market analyst CW (@CW8900), who focuses on long-term chart structures, described the current phase as a transitional period within XRP’s broader market cycle.
“$XRP is steadily rising toward its previous resistance level, the ATH,” CW said. “A breakout of the ATH means there are no further resistance levels.”
CW’s logarithmic analysis segments XRP’s price history into multiple bullish phases, suggesting that a confirmed move above the all-time high could place the asset into a new price discovery range. However, analysts caution that such scenarios depend on sustained volume, broader market alignment, and follow-through rather than a single breakout event.
Despite improving structure, analysts continue to highlight near-term risks following XRP’s rapid advance. TradingView analyst Mrctradinglab, who specializes in market inefficiencies and liquidity behavior, noted that the recent impulsive move has left several fair value gaps (FVGs) below current price levels.

“This kind of expansion often leads to a pullback to rebalance inefficiencies,” the analyst said, adding that chasing price at elevated levels increases downside risk.
According to the analysis, stacked FVG zones below spot price may act as potential areas of interest if momentum slows. On the upside, resistance remains defined by descending trendlines and prior local highs. Analysts also stress the importance of monitoring the broader crypto market capitalization, as XRP’s continuation may depend on wider market participation rather than isolated strength.
XRP’s recovery above $2.40 reflects a convergence of measurable factors, including record ETF inflows, expanding institutional exposure, and improving technical structure. Unlike prior cycles, the current move is unfolding alongside regulated investment demand, which may influence how the market responds to periods of volatility.

As XRP approaches its long-standing all-time high resistance, attention is shifting from price targets to confirmation signals. Sustained ETF inflows, volume behavior near resistance, and broader market alignment are likely to determine whether XRP can transition into post-ATH price discovery. While technical setups describe probabilities rather than outcomes, the current environment suggests a more data-driven phase for XRP than in previous rally attempts.
