On August 21, XRP rose to US$ 1.31, increasing by about 18 per cent a day and by more than 31 per cent a week. This round rose more rapidly and re-energized the market's discussion of the subsequent trends in the XRP.

According to the report, this increase occurred after XRP broke the previous downward trend. The focus of market attention is on whether the current trend will evolve into a more sustained upward trend or, as in previous attempts, will recede in a short time.

Ripple Managing Director Monica Long, referring to market changes, said that the situation was like "the switch was opened."

The driving force of the current round is not only the price itself. It was reported that quarterly documents showed an increase in the agency ' s allocation of live XRP ETFs, which continued to record a net inflow of such products while overall encryption market sentiment remained cautious.

At the same time, there was an increase in the volume of transactions and active addresses of XRP Ledger. Ripple has also continued to issue its stability currency, RLUSD, and announced new banking relationships. Together, these changes strengthen the market's judgement of the recovery in demand for XRP.

An empty patch is also a short-line thrust. The increase in recent trading days has been further amplified as prices have broken through critical resistance and some empty positions have been forced to level.

They're still holding up.

However, the report also mentions that not all signals point to continued movement. The weekly inflow of spot XRP ETF has declined by about 93 per cent over the recent high, and the size of the related product management assets has fallen below $1 billion.

In terms of price ranges, the proximity of $1.20 to $1.35 is still a more intense drag zone. Reports suggest that the region has repeatedly restrained the increase in the past. The sustainability of the current breakthrough would be called into question if the price fell again close to the US$ 1.05.

At the time of submission, the XRP was still below the high point of the previous two cycles, 1.96 in 2021 and 3.65 in 2025. The report also mentions that the United States Senate has not advanced the CARITY Act, which also makes the future of encryption a variable.
