XRP Rises 16% in a Week but Remains Below $1.60. What Will It Take to Reclaim That Level?

The rally was driven by about $300 million in forced short liquidations, while weaker fund inflows and upcoming protocol events may shape the next move.

  • XRP rallied from $1.30 to a peak of $1.66 in six days, driven primarily by $300 million in forced short liquidations rather than organic buying demand.
  • When prices rise, exchanges force traders to close short positions by purchasing XRP at market prices, a process called liquidation that triggered the recent market surge.
  • Institutional interest remains limited, as September ETF inflows of $10 million to $19 million weekly trail August's $28 million single-day peak recorded on August 26.
  • Trading at $1.51 on yesterday, XRP faces nearest support at $1.48, which sits just 2% below the current price after the recent market correction.
  • The XRP Ledger Batch upgrade is set for September 29, while Ripple can release up to 1 billion XRP from escrow on October 1, valued at about $1.5 billion.
