XRP broke above $1.20 on Monday in its first major move higher since the early-June selloff, and it did it on its heaviest volume in weeks.
the token climbed from $1.1425 to $1.2307 during the session, a gain of roughly 8%.
This was more than a bounce. XRP reclaimed $1.14, $1.18, and $1.20 in one run, the same levels that had blocked every recovery attempt since the June washout.
XRP ranked fifth by market capitalization during the June 15 CoinGecko check, behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and BNB, and ahead of USDC and Solana.

The breakout had real participation behind it. the move started in the June 14 21:00 UTC session with 107.6 million XRP changing hands, the strongest volume since the early-June selloff.
Asia carried a large share of that demand. South Korea’s Upbit accounted for 31% of XRP wallet-flow dominance by June 14, up from 13% one week earlier.
CoinDesk laid out the XRP breakout data:
XRP pushed through $1.14, $1.18, and then $1.20 after spending two weeks trying to stabilize from the early-June selloff. The move forced traders to reassess a market that had been positioned for more weakness.
The session move ran from $1.1425 to $1.2307, a gain of roughly 8%. The breakout began during the June 14 21:00 UTC session, when 107.6 million XRP changed hands and price broke through resistance near $1.14.
The demand backdrop was not purely technical. XRP-specific activity accelerated, with South Korea’s Upbit rising to 31% of XRP wallet-flow dominance by June 14 after sitting near 13% one week earlier.
Institutional demand added another layer. XRP-linked ETF products continued to attract capital, bringing cumulative net investment to roughly $1.4 billion since launch.
The next test is the price area immediately above the breakout. Holding above $1.20 keeps the breakout structure intact, while resistance near $1.27 to $1.30 is the zone traders are watching for confirmation.
There is a structural bid underneath all of this too. XRP ETF products have pulled in roughly $1.4 billion in cumulative net investment since launch.
That kind of steady product flow gives a breakout something to lean on when the early momentum fades.

The next question is whether XRP can hold above $1.20 and press into the resistance zone near $1.27 to $1.30.
That band is where traders are now focused, and it is the level that defines whether this breakout extends or stalls.
XRP rockets 8% above $1.20 on heavy volume, clearing multiple resistance levels, its first major breakout since the June selloff. Traders now eye whether momentum can extend toward $1.30 as liquidity returns. #XRP #Crypto #Liquidity

For an asset that spent weeks failing at the same ceilings, clearing them on volume is the clearest sign yet that buyers have come back to XRP.
