XRP rockets 8% above $1.20 in first major breakout since June selloff
coindesk.com Jun 15, 2026

XRP spent the past two weeks trying to stop going down. Now it's trying to go higher.

The token pushed through $1.14, then $1.18, and finally reclaimed $1.20 on the strongest volume since the early-June washout, forcing traders to reassess a market that had been priced for further weakness.

The move came as XRP-specific activity accelerated, with South Korea's Upbit exchange accounting for a growing share of network flows and institutional demand continuing to build through ETF products.

• Ripple ecosystem activity picked up as traders focused on growing XRP demand across Asia, with Upbit accounting for 31% of XRP wallet-flow dominance by June 14, up from 13% a week earlier.

• XRP ETF products continued attracting capital, extending a run of inflows that has brought cumulative net investment to roughly $1.4 billion since launch.

• Several analysts pointed to bullish RSI divergences and completed correction structures following XRP's rebound from the $1.05-$1.09 support zone.

• XRP climbed from $1.1425 to $1.2307 during the session, gaining roughly 8%.

• The breakout began during the June 14 21:00 UTC session, when volume surged to 107.6 million XRP and drove price through resistance near $1.14.

• Buying accelerated through the $1.18 and $1.20 levels before XRP reached session highs near $1.23.

• XRP has now reclaimed the levels that capped every recovery attempt since the early-June breakdown.

• The move was backed by volume rather than short-covering alone. Trading activity rose nearly 22% above the weekly average while breakout candles printed the strongest participation seen in weeks.

• Daily momentum indicators continue improving. Several analysts highlighted bullish RSI divergence after XRP held support around $1.05 and formed higher lows while momentum stabilized.
