Highlights
XRP price renewed bullish push after the sell-off in July and early August keeps the dream for a $1 rally alive. Traders show readiness to take position ahead of a major breakout buoyed by strong fundamentals and a robust technical structure.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum struggle to maintain recent gains, the cross-border remittance token continues to exhibit bullish momentum among altcoins such as Dogecoin (DOGE), TRON (TRX), and Avalanche (AVAX).
XRP price eyes a new recovery phase above $0.6 as whales increase risk appetite. According to Santiment’s supply distribution metric, addresses holding between 10,000 and 100,000 XRP currently account for 11.32% of the total network supply, up from 11.25% on August 2. Similarly, addresses with between 1 million and 10 million XRP took advantage of the correction to $0.42 and increased their cumulative holdings to 6.3%.
The derivatives market made a strong comeback, with the XRP futures open interest soaring 3.43% to $671 million. Based on Coinglass data, trading volume jumped 30% to 2.14 billion in addition to a 36% increase in the options open interest to $648 million.
Rising buying activity and robust derivatives indicators often hint at strong investor interest and confidence in Ripple price. This unique combination often suggests possible upward movement bucked by increased demand for the token and speculative activity.
XRP price failed to breach $0.62 resistance earlier today, resulting in a correction to seek support above the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The token hovered at $0.5971 at the time of analysis, showing potential for a bigger leg up above $0.6.
The SuperTrend flip below XRP signals a potential bullish trend reversal. Traders view this as a buying opportunity, expecting the uptrend to gain momentum in the near future.
Traders will look for a breach of $0.6 resistance before scooping more XRP. As confidence in the uptrend grows, the path of least resistance will remain upward toward $1.
XRP remains under seller control until the $0.6 resistance breaks. If the $0.55 support holds, consolidation is possible before another attempt at $1.
