XRP Price Rises Above $1.14 as Strong Buying Momentum Challenges Key Resistance

XRP recorded one of its strongest trading sessions in weeks, climbing more than 3% to trade above $1.14 as buyers returned to the market following last week’s decline. The move was supported by a sharp increase in trading activity, signaling renewed interest from investors as the cryptocurrency attempts to reverse its broader downtrend.

XRP Breaks Resistance on Heavy Trading Volume

During the latest 24-hour session, XRP advanced from $1.1080 to $1.1442, gaining 3.3%. The biggest move came when trading volume surged to 120.2 million XRP, more than 160% above average levels. The increase in buying pressure helped XRP break through a key resistance area around $1.1220 before extending gains above $1.14.

Ripple Expands XRP Ledger Payment Infrastructure

The positive sentiment was also supported by Ripple’s announcement that Bitso’s MXN-backed stablecoin, MXNB, will launch on the XRP Ledger. The project will work alongside RLUSD and integrate with Ripple’s decentralized exchange payment infrastructure to support regulated cross-border transactions between the United States and Mexico.

Key XRP Price Levels to Watch

Despite the recovery, XRP remains below a major descending trendline that has guided price action lower throughout 2026. Traders are closely watching the $1.20 to $1.25 range, which many consider the key barrier to a larger trend reversal.

A breakout above $1.25 could open the door toward $1.40 and potentially $1.50. However, failure to clear resistance may shift attention back to the $1.09 support level, with some analysts still warning of a possible drop toward $0.90 before a long-term bottom is established.
