XRP jumps 13% in 24 hours and reclaims $1.28 as whale wallets add 1.53B coins. Analysts now watch the $1.30 resistance zone.
XRP staged one of its sharpest single-day recoveries in months. The asset surged 13% in 24 hours and reclaimed the $1.28 mark. That level had been out of reach for two weeks.
At publication, CoinGecko data placed the price at $1.24, with a daily trading volume of $3.24 billion. The weekly gain reached 5.81%. Reports of a US-Iran conflict resolution pulled risk assets higher, and crypto buyers returned fast.

XRP Whale Wallets Quietly Add 1.53B Coins Over Six Months
The rebound did not arrive without a foundation underneath it.
Santiment’s on-chain data shows wallets holding at least 1 million XRP now control 74.1% of the total supply. Those same wallets added a combined 1.53 billion coins over the past six months. That is steady, quiet accumulation running beneath the surface the entire time.
Santiment noted that sentiment toward XRP had fallen to some of its lowest points of 2026 in the weeks before the bounce.
Low retail confidence alongside persistent whale buying created the conditions for a fast recovery. Once macro fear started to lift, the move came quickly.
Ripple’s growing institutional payment network has also played a role in keeping large holders committed.
Expanding tokenization activity on the XRP Ledger added further confidence. Santiment noted that when improving macro conditions align with consistent whale accumulation, sharp recoveries tend to happen fast.
Analysts Watch $1.30 Resistance as the Next Big Test
The rally pushed XRP straight into a zone that analyst CasiTrades had flagged as significant. The $1.30 level now stands as the first major hurdle.
CasiTrades noted the move had already exceeded a standard C-wave target. That does not confirm a new trend, but the analyst said it starts to lean in that direction.
Two scenarios remain on the table.
Price meets resistance at $1.30 and pulls back toward the $0.90 support level tracked for months. Or the momentum holds and a fresh trend cycle begins.
CasiTrades noted the bounce off the $1.09 macro .786 support came in stronger than expected.
🚨 XRP Tests MAJOR Resistance at $1.30! 🚨
We're seeing some awesome momentum come into the crypto market, and price is now approaching a very important resistance level around $1.30.
What's interesting is that this move has already pushed beyond what I'd consider a standard… pic.twitter.com/BznxwcuC0y

Still, the analyst kept clear conditions in place.
Price must reclaim $1.65 and flip it into support before the bearish path gets fully ruled out. Until that level is cleared, CasiTrades stated the position stays observational.
Expert Maps XRP Price Levels Hit One by One
Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO had outlined the structure before the move even started.
Hold $1.14, retest $1.1938, break it, then target $1.2600. XRP followed that playbook closely. Price held $1.14, cleared $1.1938, and pushed all the way up to $1.2996.
EGRAG described the pullback from that zone as a normal reaction.
A strong directional move almost always draws a pause. The key now is what happens next at $1.19. EGRAG identified that level as the line keeping the current bullish structure intact.
#XRP 4H Update: Targets Hit One by One 🎯🔥( Update):
Yesterday the map was clear:
▫️ Hold $1.14 → retest $1.1938
▫️ Break $1.1938 → target $1.2600
▫️ Lose $1.09 → risk toward $1.05#XRP did exactly what the structure suggested.
▫️First, price held the $1.14 battleground… pic.twitter.com/IvzdElDZ3C— EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) June 16, 2026
Losing $1.19 opens the door to a retest of lower support.
A break below $1.14 weakens the structure further. EGRAG kept the conclusion simple: targets hit, confirmation next, support must hold.
