XRP just broke above $1.45, and the integration news with Rakuten in Japan seems to be really driving this rally. I notice that the trading volume is healthy, not a weak rebound, and whales are accumulating. This is an interesting signal for a coin that has been in a downtrend.
Rakuten's move is indeed significant — they are adding XRP to their payment app, connecting to 44 million users and 5 million merchants. Users can also buy XRP with points, directly stored in Rakuten Wallet. This is not hollow partnership news, but real adoption. Japan’s loyalty points ecosystem is valued at $23 billion, and XRP is now integrated into it. My prediction is that this real-world use case in the Japanese market will continue to support the price.
However, traders need to be cautious that $1.37 is now a key pivot. If it holds steady, the next test is $1.40–$1.42. A break above that would confirm this is not just a short-term rebound. Conversely, if it drops below $1.32 to $1.30, this rally will be invalidated, returning to the previous range. Currently, considering Rakuten’s momentum in Japan and technical support, this rally has reason to continue, but further confirmation is needed.
