XRP traded within the $1.10 to $1.30 band on June 21 and 22, with the price hovering around $1.14 as of June 21. Despite a modest daily decrease of just 0.34 percent in the last 24 hours, XRP saw a daily trading volume of $872 million and a total market capitalization of $70.97 billion. These figures kept XRP firmly positioned as the sixth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Trading in a narrow range takes center stage
Throughout June, XRP’s price movement remained tightly constrained. Although the asset lost more than 16 percent over the last 30 days, demand near the $1.10 level provided a backstop against deeper declines. During trading on June 22, the price briefly dipped to $1.12.
Around 21:00 UTC, trading volume surged to 85.8 million XRP, with an intraday low of $1.1213. Buying activity quickly accelerated, propelling XRP back up to $1.148 within a matter of hours, recouping much of the session’s losses. However, the $1.147 to $1.149 range has emerged as a notable resistance zone in the short term.
Maintaining support at $1.10 over the past two months is seen as crucial for a stronger upward move in XRP. In the near term, overcoming the $1.147 to $1.149 resistance band remains the first important challenge.
Market analyst EGRAG CRYPTO took to X (formerly Twitter) to describe the past two months of XRP price action as a battleground. According to EGRAG CRYPTO, holding current levels is vital for any meaningful upward momentum. While his long-term projections reference targets between $9.50 and $17.23, those numbers feel remote as long as XRP trades below $1.20.

|---|---|
| Support zone | $1.10 |
| Intraday low | $1.1213 |
| Recovery level | $1.148 |
| Resistance zone | $1.147 to $1.149 |

Monitoring exchange reserves and fund flows
On chain data reveals that the amount of XRP held on centralized exchanges has fallen to roughly 1.6 billion units, registering the lowest point in seven years. Compared to October 2025, this signals an approximate 50 percent drop, a situation which could amplify volatility if buying pressure increases.
