XRP Slips Below $1.23 After Volume‑Backed Breakout

Rapid profit-taking coupled with thin liquidity has pushed price back toward the $1.20 pivot making the short-term breakout fragile.

Overview

  • The rally began with a volume spike during the June 14 session that sent XRP through $1.14, $1.18 and briefly above $1.25 before gains reversed.
  • XRP-linked exchange-traded products have kept steady institutional demand with roughly $1.4–$1.44 billion in cumulative inflows supporting rallies into mid‑June.
  • South Korea’s Upbit has driven a large share of recent flows, rising to about 31% wallet‑flow dominance and concentrating trade activity on Asian order books.
  • On‑chain data shows heavy whale accumulation with wallets holding 1M+ XRP controlling about 74.1% of supply, which reduces available liquidity if those holders sell.
  • The market now faces a test of $1.20 as pivotal support and a fragile setup where continued ETF inflows and Ripple’s revenue guidance could sustain gains but thin depth and profit‑taking risk sharp reversals.
