XRP Breaks Resistance With Strong Indicators

In a crypto market waiting for new strong signals, XRP has just taken everyone by surprise. While Bitcoin and Ethereum stagnate below their resistances, Ripple’s crypto is emerging as the most dynamic asset at the moment, driven by decisive legal and technical news. With a leap beyond $2.90, it reconnects with forgotten peaks and places itself at the heart of discussions, between speculations about an ETF, renewed institutional interest, and the end of a historic conflict with the SEC.

XRP breaks resistances, the technical signal is triggered

XRP has just crossed a major technical milestone, establishing itself as the best-performing crypto in the top 10 this week, thanks to the momentum from South Korean traders. After several months of lateral movement in a narrow price range between $2.00 and $2.50, the crypto soared to $2.92, breaking two major resistances successively.

The asset currently surpasses Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of momentum. This rise occurs in a generally favorable context, with the total crypto market capitalization stabilizing above $3.3 trillion, and a Crypto Fear & Greed Index at 73, signaling a clearly bullish sentiment.

Technical indicators confirm the strength of this surge :

• RSI at 81 : the Relative Strength Index indicates an overbought situation, revealing strong buying momentum ;

• ADX at 34 : the Average Directional Index clearly exceeds the 25 threshold, signaling a robust bullish trend ;

• EMA 50/200 crossover : the short exponential moving average has crossed above the long one, a signal typically considered bullish ;

• Squeeze Indicator activated (green signal) : indicates that the market is in a volatility expansion phase, validating the price breakout ;

• Massive volume between $2.00 and $2.40 : this accumulation zone is now a key technical support, strengthening the bullish breakout structure.

All these elements converge towards a clearly optimistic technical reading. However, this surge is not only based on charts. Indeed, major regulatory developments and Ripple’s strategic moves add fundamental depth to this rally.

The end of the conflict with the SEC and the rush towards institutional exposure

The real turning point of this rally may lie elsewhere : on the regulatory front. After four years of litigation, the SEC officially withdrew its appeal against Ripple at the end of June, bringing the case to a close.

Recall that Judge Analisa Torres’s 2023 decision had already concluded that XRP sales on secondary platforms did not constitute a securities law violation. Ripple avoids any major conviction, paying only a relatively modest fine, removing a significant obstacle to institutional adoption.

Following this, Ripple filed for a federal banking license on July 2, 2025, with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). If approved, this status would allow it to play a key role in crypto custody on behalf of institutional players.

At the same time, eleven asset managers have filed applications for a spot XRP ETF, while UXRP (ProShares Ultra XRP ETF) and SLON (ProShares Ultra Solana ETF) products were launched. According to the prediction platform Polymarket, the probability of XRP ETF approval by the end of the year reaches 85%.

This dual dynamic, the end of legal uncertainties and growing institutional appetite, could profoundly reshape XRP’s trajectory. From a controversial asset, it moves to a serious candidate for inclusion in institutional portfolios, alongside Bitcoin or Ethereum. If the ETF were to be approved, XRP could experience a significant investment influx, potentially capable of driving it to a new all-time high.
