XRP at $1.44—are you chasing it?
Look at the surface first: up 40-56% this week, the strongest major coin in the market.
BTC surged 20% this week back to $77,000, while XRP went straight from $1.0 to $1.44, returning to the top three by market cap. 24-hour trading volume topped $77k, and liquidations of both long and short perpetual contracts exceeded $100 million. The price has moved above all key EMAs, the daily MACD has formed a golden cross, and volume confirms a valid breakout. The trend has turned bullish, but don't chase the rally in the short term.
First: The SEC lawsuit has officially ended, and XRP has been “cleared of wrongdoing.”
The lawsuit was completely resolved in 2025. Ripple paid a $125 million fine, and secondary-market trading was explicitly determined not to be securities trading. What does this mean?
Seven spot XRP ETFs have launched, with cumulative net inflows exceeding $1.5 billion. Institutional access has fully opened up, allowing banks, hedge funds, and pension funds to allocate compliantly.
Second: Trump is personally backing it, and the regulatory dividend has only just begun.
This week, Trump met with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse at the White House and publicly urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act, which would clearly classify XRP and similar assets as “commodities.”
Around September 15, the Senate will hold a cloture vote. If passed, XRP will move completely from the “gray area” into the category of “compliant assets.”
Presidential backing + congressional legislation + ETF access—this is a repeat of Bitcoin's 2024 playbook. The same script is now playing out for XRP.
Third: Whales bought 300 million XRP in 96 hours.
Exchange inflows have declined, while whales accumulated approximately 300 million XRP within 96 hours—worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
ETFs have also continued to see net inflows, totaling tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars in recent days.
Retail investors see $1.44 and think, “It's gone up too much; I don't dare chase it.” Institutions see $1.44 and think, “It just broke through the cost zone—get in now.” That's the difference.
The bull-bear battle—judge for yourself
On one side:
The SEC lawsuit is over, and secondary-market trading is explicitly not securities trading
Seven ETFs have seen cumulative net inflows exceeding $1.5 billion, with institutions continuing to buy
Trump has publicly voiced his support, and the CLARITY Act vote is imminent
Whales bought 300 million XRP in 96 hours, easing selling pressure
The daily chart has broken above all EMAs, confirming a bullish trend reversal
On the other side:
Daily RSI is 80-86, severely overbought, with a high probability of a short-term pullback
It has already risen 40-56% this week, leaving substantial unrealized profits
1.50-1.55 is a heavy-volume resistance zone
If expectations for the CLARITY Act fail, a sharp retracement could follow
Key levels
Resistance above: 1.50-1.55 (psychological level) → 1.65-1.70 (this week's high) → 2.00
Support below: 1.40-1.42 (short-term EMA support) → 1.30-1.35 (200-day EMA) → 1.20-1.25
Trading strategy
Short-term traders:
Take a small long position at the current price of 1.44, add on a pullback to 1.40-1.42, and set a stop-loss below 1.35. Take half the position off at the first target of 1.50-1.55, with the second target at 1.65-1.70. If it surges to 1.65 and shows bearish divergence plus a long upper wick, consider a small short position, targeting a pullback to 1.50 with a stop-loss at 1.72.
Swing traders:
Wait for a deeper pullback to 1.30-1.35 to stabilize before taking a heavier position, targeting 1.70-2.00 with a stop-loss at 1.25. More prudent.
Long-term believers:
Dollar-cost average in batches below 1.30. The bet is on the decade-long narrative of a compliant payments leader, with a target of 3-5.
Risk warnings:
Keep leverage on perpetual contracts below 5x; volatility is extreme at this level
Monitor funding rates, as crowded longs can easily trigger a cascade
Keep a close eye on the September CLARITY vote; once expectations become reality, it could become a case of “buy the rumor, sell the news”
If BTC falls below 70k, XRP will suffer as well
When the Bitcoin ETF was approved, 99% of people missed the move.
With Trump's backing + the CLARITY Act + continued ETF inflows, XRP is recreating the same script.
Is 1.44 the endpoint, the starting point, or the midpoint?
You decide.
