XRP price trades close to $2.15 after another failed attempt to clear $2.21. The market continues to compress into a wedge, with lower highs and higher lows shaping a narrow range. Traders see this band as the near-term decision zone.
Short-term levels look well defined. Immediate resistance stands at $2.21, while support lines up around $2.05 and then $2.00. Daily moving averages between $2.17 and $2.49, including the 20-200 day EMAs form a broad resistance zone. XRP price needs to break and hold above that area to rebuild a stronger bullish trend.
On-chain data indicates that the XRP Ledger is going through one of its busiest periods of 2025. Velocity has climbed to around 0.0324, the highest level this year, showing that XRP now changes hands more frequently. Analysts say this jump reflects stronger participation from active traders and large holders across the network.
Whale activity also appears elevated. CryptoQuant data highlights large average spot order sizes for 30 straight days. This trend suggests that bigger accounts continue to trade XRP on spot markets rather than step aside. At the same time, XRP balances on exchanges fell about 930 million coins in a month to approximately 2.7 billion.
Those levels last appeared in 2018 and indicate that many holders move tokens away from exchanges into storage or investment products.
ETF demand adds another important input. Recent statistics show fresh inflows of about $89.65 million into XRP exchange-traded products, lifting total holdings to around $723 million. Institutional interest often supports prices during deeper market pullbacks. These flows arrive while XRP price tests support, which gives long-term traders another metric to track.
Higher timeframes explain why the current zone matters. XRP trades just above a multi-year support block between $1.80 and $2.00, which includes the weekly 100-EMA near $1.86. Price bounced from this range in 2018, 2020 and 2024. Many analysts now watch to see whether it holds again.
Chart patterns on the weekly and yearly views send a mixed message. A double-top structure near $3.30 remains in play, with the neckline close to the $1.80 - $2.00 band. A weekly close below $1.80 would confirm that pattern and argue for a weaker long-term outlook.
However, an ascending triangle since 2018 still supports a breakout scenario if XRP price keeps making higher lows. Until price breaks either the floor near $1.80 or the resistance region around $3.30, XRP stays inside a wide consolidation. For now, $2.15 acts as a key pivot level for traders.
