XRP Pulls Back After 10% Rally Meets Selling Near $1.25

What happened?

XRP briefly broke above $1.20 and rose near $1.25 before profit-taking trimmed the move. Traders are now watching whether the former resistance level can hold as support.

Why it matters

Several market factors supported the advance. XRP ETFs recorded a second straight week of inflows, drawing $10.68 million and bringing cumulative inflows to about $1.44 billion. CoinDesk also noted stronger regional demand, with South Korea’s Upbit accounting for 31% of XRP wallet-flow activity by June 14, up from 13% a week earlier.

XRP gave back part of a sharp rally after climbing as much as 10% and briefly trading near $1.25, according to CoinDesk. The token had pushed through the $1.20 level that had capped recent rallies, but sellers emerged near the highs and shifted attention back to whether the breakout can hold.

The move matters because $1.20 had been a key ceiling for XRP, and a sustained break above that area would strengthen the token’s short-term technical setup. CoinDesk reported that the rally came with a volume surge of more than 180 million XRP, helping distinguish the move from earlier failed attempts this month.

CoinDesk also noted stronger regional demand, with South Korea’s Upbit accounting for 31% of XRP wallet-flow activity by June 14, up from 13% a week earlier.

Ripple-related infrastructure activity also remained part of the broader backdrop, including integrations such as OpenPayd and settlement activity tied to RLUSD. Still, the immediate market focus is technical: XRP’s rejection near $1.25 showed that sellers remain active even as momentum improved.

Traders are watching $1.20 as the key support level after the breakout, while $1.25 has become the nearest resistance area. A move through the $1.30 to $1.32 range would mark the next upside zone cited by CoinDesk, while a drop back below $1.20 could raise the risk of a retreat toward $1.14 to $1.15.
