XRP Rebounds 8% After Recent Drop

The cryptocurrencies XRP and Solana defy economic turbulences with spectacular rebounds. While Sino-US trade tensions shake the markets, these assets attract institutional investors. A breakdown of the dynamics at play and ambitious price targets.

Crypto — XRP: a spectacular rebound after the customs tariff storm

The crypto XRP recorded a sharp 8% rise in 24 hours, recovering 30 billion dollars in market capitalization. After the chaos related to the customs tariff announcements between the United States and China, the price moved from 2.37 dollars to 2.58 dollars, driven by a massive influx of institutional volumes.

This 8% rebound in XRP confirms an aggressive “dip-buying” strategy, where crypto investors take advantage of dips to strengthen their positions. Now, traders anticipate major macroeconomic developments, while analysts watch for a record weekly close above 3.12 dollars. Such performance would mark the strongest candle in XRP history, a strong signal for the coming months. 

Despite a risky global context, with stock indices sharply down such as Dow -900 and Nasdaq -820, Ripple (XRP) manages to attract selective capital. This rebound therefore illustrates the resilience of cryptos in the face of geopolitical crises. Investors certainly see in XRP a relative safe haven, capable of outperforming even in times of uncertainty.

Solana (SOL): recovery underway and the $260 target in sight

Solana recorded an 11% rise in 24 hours, moving from $177.11 to $196.60, according to the latest data. This rebound fits into a recovery dynamic after a volatile week, where the price had reached a peak of $228.78 before correcting. Analysts highlight that SOL is currently trading around $233, after regaining its key moving averages (20 days at $219.96 and 50 days at $211.29), which now serve as immediate supports.

Technical forecasts indicate a major resistance between $240 and $245. If Solana manages to break this threshold, crypto analysts anticipate a push towards $253, even $260, a level that would mark a return to its all-time high of $294.85 recorded in January 2025.

Speculation around a potential Solana ETF and growing activity in the DeFi and NFT sectors reinforce this optimism. However, a drop below $220 could trigger a retest of the $197–$200 range.

The rebounds of XRP and Solana show that cryptos remain fertile ground for opportunities, even in times of crisis. While institutional investors take positions, one question remains: are these increases sustainable or merely speculative moves?
