XDC is back in the spotlight. The XDC Network price has jumped more than 10% today, now trading near $0.07121, with trading volume up over 45%. This renewed momentum follows a series of major updates and a breakout in its technical setup, putting XDC on the radar for traders and investors alike.

The main driver behind the rally is XDC Network July 9 announcement of its integration with LayerZero and Stargate, unlocking full omnichain interoperability. With this upgrade, the users can now natively bridge assets between Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and other chains without any slippage.

This integration connects XDC to over $2.9 billion in DeFi liquidity, making its place in the cross-chain economy even larger. As an ISO 20022-compliant blockchain, XDC is well-positioned to support the digital transformation of global trade, an industry valued at more than $30 trillion.

XDC Network Institutional Interest Is Growing

The bullish outlook is further supported by rising institutional involvement. Also on July 9, 21Shares launched an XDC ETP on Euronext Paris and Amsterdam. This product gives regulated exposure to XDC and is fully backed by real assets.

It aligns with XDC’s growing list of partners, including Deutsche Telekom and SBI Holdings, and positions it as a go-to platform for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Social media users and analysts have pointed out that this kind of adoption is not just hype, it’s part of a broader trend.

On X, Wush786 pointed out that ISO 20022 rollout in the U.S. could benefit tokens like XDC, XRP, XLM, and others. The timing has sparked more interest from investors looking for compliant payment-layer protocols.

The XDC Price Chart Just Broke Bullish

Looking at the chart, XDC has broken out of a multi-month downtrend that had been in place since January. The XDC Network price pushed above a descending resistance line and made a higher high above the June peak. That’s the first time in months that this has happened.

Even more encouraging: the price bounced twice off the $0.055–$0.058 support zone, forming a clear double bottom pattern. 

This kind of structure is often seen at market reversals. Based on this pattern, traders are now watching for a move toward $0.074–$0.078, with an extended target near $0.086.

If bullish momentum holds, future resistance zones around $0.10 and $0.12 could come into play.

For traders looking to time their entries, the current setup on XDC looks more favorable than it did in recent months. The breakout from a multi-month downtrend and the formation of a double-bottom structure suggest a possible trend shift is underway.

All that said, expectations need to be managed. While momentum is building, the price is still in the early stages of a reversal. Sensitive levels of resistance at $0.074 and $0.086 need to be breached before a rally can take hold. Volume will also need to remain strong to support any extended move.

If you’re planning to invest $1,000 into XDC, now may be a decent time from a technical breakout perspective, but it’s not without risk. A pullback to the $0.065 zone is possible, and if the XDC price breaks below the $0.055–$0.058 support, the bullish structure would be invalidated. That would change the outlook.

Investors waiting for more confirmation might prefer to see a strong retest of the breakout zone or a clear move past the February highs. Those more focused on fundamentals may find comfort in XDC’s growing role in trade finance, LayerZero integration, and the new institutional ETP listings in Europe.

As always, market conditions can shift quickly. Whether you’re averaging in or waiting for another dip, knowing your risk level is key.
