XRP (XRP-USD) fell sharply on Friday, briefly dropping below $2 and hitting a ten-month low of $1.58 on Bitstamp. The sell-off followed market-wide panic after President Trump’s 100% tariffs on Chinese imports rattled investors.

Since then, XRP has recovered most of its losses, rising over 7% on Monday and adding roughly $75 billion in market value. The token’s capitalization has climbed to $158.5 billion, marking a 13% rebound in just 48 hours.
The price recovery has also helped XRP reclaim its 200-day simple moving average (SMA), a trendline that previously served as support during the April crash, which was followed by a 54% rally.
XRP Volume Surges as Bulls Return
The rally comes alongside a sharp rise in trading activity. Daily volume jumped 35% over the past 24 hours to $11.5 billion, suggesting aggressive dip-buying as traders reposition ahead of new market catalysts.
In the derivatives market, trading volume surged 44% to $12.2 billion, while open interest increased 7.6% to $4.1 billion. The spike points to renewed confidence in XRP’s short-term outlook after the weekend crash.
Analysts See Signs of a Bullish Reversal
Momentum indicators also point toward a potential rebound. XRP’s Stochastic RSI on the weekly chart sits at just 8, an extremely oversold level that has often preceded major price reversals.
“XRP’s weekly Stoch RSI has revisited oversold levels, hinting a strong bullish reversal is on the cards,” said analyst Chart Nerd in a Friday X post.
He added, “On all occasions since July 2024, the Stoch RSI has marked a local bottom before a macro move higher. $5 is next.”
Historical data supports the view that XRP rallied 486% in 2024 and 91% in 2025 following the same type of RSI signals.
XRP Faces Key Resistance Levels
For the rally to continue, XRP must overcome a tight resistance zone between $2.70 and $2.80, an area where roughly 3.8 billion XRP were previously accumulated, according to Glassnode.
A secondary resistance band sits near $2.88–$2.95, where the 50-day and 100-day SMAs currently intersect, a region analysts say could decide whether XRP extends its momentum or stalls.
Analyst CryptoBull said that a weekly close above the 2025 uptrend line would confirm the bullish trend. “A break above this zone keeps XRP extremely bullish,” he noted.
XRP Reclaims Market Confidence
XRP’s 66% recovery in just three days reflects renewed institutional and retail buying after one of the most severe corrections of the year. While macro uncertainty continues to weigh on risk assets, the latest rebound shows that investors remain confident in XRP’s long-term potential as momentum shifts back toward buyers.
At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $2.5884.
