XRP traded in a wide $0.11 range between $3.46 and $3.57 during the 24-hour period ending July 23 at 08:00 GMT. The asset posted a 3% swing as bulls drove price to a session high of $3.57 on 106.4 million volume, before profit-taking triggered a reversal back to $3.46.
The late decline broke key support at $3.50, which had been retested multiple times overnight.
Volume surged as institutional flows reacted to a confluence of catalysts: advancing U.S. crypto legislation, fresh ETF approvals, and long-awaited technical pattern completion. Analysts still point to $6–$15 price targets long term, but warn of short-term consolidation risk.

• XRP broke above $3.65 last week, completing a six-year symmetrical triangle.
• ProShares launched the first XRP futures ETF, marking a milestone in regulated institutional access.
• U.S. Congress advanced the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, pushing forward crypto regulation clarity, fueling fund flows into large-cap digital assets.

Resistance formed at the $3.56–$3.57 zone, capping upside and triggering a steady retreat through the overnight session.
The final hour (07:10–08:09 GMT) saw a breakdown from $3.47 to $3.46, as volume spiked to 2.5 million between 07:37 and 07:49. That move cracked the previously firm $3.49–$3.51 support band, confirming a short-term trend shift as selling overwhelmed buyers.
