- XRP trades around $2.10–$2.20 after a Thursday pullback, maintaining a multi‑month demand zone near $1.90–$2.10.
- US spot XRP ETFs increased aggregate assets to about $915 million following new purchases, extending a recent streak of net inflows.
- Technicians cite $2.204 as the immediate pivot with $2.22 and then $2.28–$2.30 as overhead resistance, with a break opening a path toward $2.33–$2.40 and potentially higher levels.
- Futures funding remains negative and open interest has fallen to roughly $3.8 billion from $8.6 billion, indicating a short‑heavy market that is vulnerable to a sharp move.
- On‑chain data point to whale accumulation and declining exchange balances, while Fed‑cut expectations and Bitcoin/Ether price action continue to shape near‑term direction.
