XRP is stabilizing after a steep February slide, as buyers defend a key support zone. At the same time, spot XRP ETF inflows have resumed, but retail-led derivatives activity continues to cool.
Market data on Friday indicated XRP trading near $1.39–$1.40. CoinGlass indicated over $770 million in 24-hour spot volume and about $3.66 billion in futures volume, alongside open interest near $2.34 billion.
XRP has held above $1.40, a level traders have treated as near-term support during February. Price action has stayed tight, with modest intraday moves rather than trend expansion.
Technical analysts linked the current base to a wider band around $1.40–$1.42. When XRP trades above that zone, the chart often shifts into sideways consolidation. When XRP breaks below it, traders typically watch for deeper support levels.
If sellers push a daily close under $1.40, analysts have highlighted $1.25 as a downside level tied to recent lows. The $1.12 area has also remained on watch as a broader swing low from earlier February volatility.
XRP price has faced resistance from major moving averages. Analysts cited a 50-day EMA near $1.69, a 100-day EMA near $1.90, and a 200-day EMA near $2.12 as overhead levels that can cap rebounds.
A volatility-based trend indicator has also signaled caution near the $1.72 area, based on the same technical read. Traders often look for a sustained move above these levels to confirm a shift in trend.
Near-term upside targets have included the weekly open near $1.48 and the $1.50–$1.51 band as a first test of strength. If XRP reclaims that zone with stronger volume, attention can shift toward higher resistance areas. If it fails, markets may refocus on whether buyers can continue to defend $1.40.
Spot XRP ETFs recorded about $4 million in net inflows on Thursday, according to SoSoValue data. The flow suggested selective risk appetite even as XRP stayed near support.
Data indicated total cumulative net inflows near $1.23 billion and total net asset value near $1.01 billion for XRP spot ETFs. The figures have kept ETFs in focus as a sentiment gauge for XRP exposure.
Derivatives data have signaled caution. CoinGlass showed XRP futures open interest falling to about $2.32 billion on Friday from $2.45 billion a day earlier. Analysts also noted retail interest peaked near $4.55 billion on January 6, well below the prior record open interest near $10.94 billion in July.
