XRP is starting to regain strength after holding at a critical demand zone near $1.4. The response at this level has been neither weak nor hesitant.
Prices rebounded intentionally and since then, momentum has built in a way that suggests buyers are returning with confidence.
Demand zone changes short-term bias
The $1.4 area has now proven to be more than just temporary support. It served as a base and its rebound pushed the short-term structure back in favor of buyers.
However, the path to testing higher points of interest is not completely open. The market is now approaching a multi-level resistance zone that could slow things down.
The supply zone between $1.5 and $1.6 is the immediate barrier. This is an area that sellers have been involved in before, and it’s likely to attract attention again.
Liquidity level of $1.67 remains key target
Beyond the current supply zone, the broader target is around $1.67. This level represents both a previous high and a clear liquidity target.
Markets tend to gravitate towards such levels, especially when momentum is already building. A liquidity cluster worth 4.66 million at the 1.66 resistance level highlights the price level as a key focus for Ripple buyers.
However, reaching this level will depend on how the price behaves in the $1.5-$1.6 range. A sharp push could open the way to $1.67. On the other hand, a rejection can lead to a pause or a brief consolidation.
On-chain fundamentals and metrics add weight to the move
That’s not all; there is also a change happening beyond the charts. Ripple CEO’s recent comments on optimism towards the CLARITY Act during an interview add a layer of fundamental support to the current price action.
Even if price action is decisive in the short term, key information from the inner circle often reinforces the direction. Positive regulatory developments tend to improve confidence, and confidence can translate into sustained demand.
This alignment between fundamentals and prices is worth noting.
At the same time, trading activity for the token has seen strong gains over the past few days. In the last 48 hours alone, the number of active addresses on the network has increased by more than 2,000 to 18,000 training addresses.
Among active addresses, whales and institutional investors occupy a larger share. This development is evident through the increase in whale orders and open interest in derivatives data.
At press time, the token’s OI had increased by over 100 million to 949 million.
The side-by-side reactions among the big players speak volumes. A breakout could be imminent in the near future.
Final summary
- XRP regained its bullish momentum after a strong rebound from the $1.4 demand zone.
- The $1.5-1.6 supply zone is the main obstacle before a possible move to $1.67.
