XRP posted a confirmed short-term gain after rebounding sharply from a key support zone, according to a multi-year chart shared by CryptoPatel. The XRP/USDT pair on Binance rallied from the $1.80–$1.70 demand area, reaching $2.4172 with strong momentum.

The move locked in roughly 35% profits while trading volumes rose to about 559 million XRP during the breakout phase. Prices later stabilized near $2.2155, indicating consolidation after the initial impulse move.

The rebound followed a prolonged accumulation phase that began in 2023 and extended into early 2024.

Technical Structure Confirms Trend Shift

The chart shows XRP forming a broad accumulation base between roughly $1.70 and $2.00 over several months. During that period, prices held above a descending trendline, limiting all upside attempts since the 2021 peak. That level broke decisively in mid-2024 as sustained buying pressure entered the market.

CryptoPatel clarified that a prior reference to $0.80 was incorrect, confirming $1.80 as the true structural support. Prices have respected that level precisely before launching higher, validating it as a major bullish pivot. 

As long as XRP holds above $1.80–$1.70, the prevailing structure remains bullish. The chart also marks former resistance near $0.8065 on the higher timeframe. XRP now trades well above that level, confirming a trend reversal aligning with a second accumulation zone above $2.00.

Upside Targets and Decision Levels

Measured-move projections on the chart outline multiple upside scenarios. The first short-term target sits between $3.00 and $3.50, with $3.50 marked as a key decision level. A prior horizontal resistance band near that zone suggests possible selling pressure.

If XRP breaks and holds above $3.50 with strong volume, larger projections will come into view. The chart maps a potential move toward $8.1276, representing a 459% advance from the accumulation base; the intermediate projection near $3.2462 reflects an 845% expansion from the earlier cycle low.

A curved upward projection path suggests expectations of continuation rather than a single vertical spike. It also points to sustained follow-through if higher supports continue to hold. The next sessions will determine whether this momentum carries into the $3.50 resistance area.

Institutional Flows and Regulatory Backdrop

Regulatory coherence in the United States continues to support XRP’s market performance. Katherine Dowling, president of Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, explained how XRP stands to benefit most from the Clarity Act’s progress. 

She told DL News the passage of this legislation appears likely, pointing to Ripple’s recent business developments and capital activity. Dowling noted the new XRP exchange-traded funds have added support to the asset, which coincides with the rising institutional engagement across digital assets.

XRP ETFs have attracted $1.3 billion in inflows since Canary Capital’s launch in November, as per the SoSoValue data. The fund has not recorded net outflows since its debut, which is rare amongst crypto ETFs. By comparison, Solana ETFs drew $420 million, while Bitcoin ETFs saw $2.4 billion in net selling. 

Ethereum ETFs recorded $898 million in outflows over the same period, based on DefiLlama data. With technical momentum holding and institutional demands building, the question remains: will the $3.50 level decide XRP’s next major move?

Conclusion

XRP price rebounded 35% from its $1.80 support zone as accumulation held firm and volume confirmed the move. Charts are positioning $3.50 as the next key test, while rising XRP ETF inflows and improving US regulatory clarity continue supporting market participation.
