XRP price tests pivotal resistance, is a breakout to $3 on the horizon?
XRP price is drawing fresh attention as momentum builds around a pivotal zone that has repeatedly shaped trading this year.
Summary
XRP price is testing the crucial $2.63 to $2.70 resistance range after a strong weekly gain, with renewed market optimism and institutional flows boosting momentum.
Recent developments, including Yellow Network’s XRPL EVM sidechain integration and Ripple USD surpassing a $900 million market cap, are strengthening on-chain and ecosystem fundamentals.
Technical indicators point to a bullish structure, with a confirmed hold above $2.70 likely paving the way for a move toward $3 and potentially $3.60 if momentum continues.
At the time of writing, XRP price trades at $2.66, up 1.5% over the last 24 hours and 9.2% on the week, according to market data from crypto.news. This uptick, which aligns with a broader market lift, has carried the token into the $2.63 to $2.70 range.
Fresh fund flows and derivatives positioning have added fuel, with a recently launched spot XRP ETF crossing roughly $100 million in assets as CME futures open interest climbs to multi‑month highs, signaling deeper institutional participation.
XRP price breakout gathers pace as buyers target $3
The Ripple token broke out of a symmetrical triangle after several days of consolidation, pushing into the $2.63 pivot band that has capped its price since mid‑October.
The relative strength index (RSI) hovering near 54 and rising, indicates the momentum after the compression phase is increasing. Volume remains active around 35M on the day, supporting the validity of the move rather than a weak fake‑out.
A firm daily close and hold above $2.70 would open a clean run toward $3 with $3.09 the next marked resistance. From there, a routine pullback to retest $2.70 as support would be healthy and could set a stronger base for continuation.
