XRP is trading at $1.1617 as of July 4, 2026. Up 3.00% today with a 24-hour range between $1.1277 and $1.1843. Market cap is $65.10 billion.
Market Snapshot
Circulating supply is 62.24 billion XRP. Maximum supply is 100 billion. 24-hour volume is $1.94 billion.

Technical Picture: Testing Resistance at 1.18
XRP pushed to 1.1843 today but was rejected. Key resistance is 1.18 to 1.20. A daily close above 1.20 opens 1.35 to 1.40.
Support is at 1.13, the daily low. Below that, 1.05 is the next key level. XRP is 67.9% below its all-time high of $3.65.
Why XRP Is Moving
Three narratives are driving XRP currently. First, regulatory clarity. The long legal battle is largely over, and institutions can now touch XRP without immediate compliance risk. Second, payment utility. The Ledger is designed for fast, low-cost cross-border settlement. Third, supply mechanism. With 62.24 billion circulating out of a max 100 billion, dilution risk is known and already priced in.
Risks remain macro-driven. If Bitcoin is rejected at 62.5K, XRP will fall harder. Also, adoption has not matched the hype. On-chain payment volumes are still low relative to market cap.
Bottom Line
XRP at $1.16 is testing a breakout level. Reclaim 1.20 with volume and the path to 1.35 opens quickly. Lose 1.13 and we are back to 1.05.
The "Buy" consensus signal means positive short-term momentum. However, XRP has a history of hard fakeouts. Confirm the breakout, do not front-run it.
In a market of Extreme Fear, legal clarity alone is not enough to sustain a rally. Bitcoin needs to lead.
