Just noticed XRP has been showing some interesting data points lately. It jumped around 6% recently, hitting roughly $1.42, and what caught my attention is the spot buying activity—one exchange reported retail purchases surged 212% in a single day, massively outpacing sell orders. That kind of volume usually signals something's brewing.

The data points are getting more interesting when you look at the bigger picture. XRP ETFs have pulled in about $1.1 billion since mid-November, still attracting steady inflows while bitcoin ETFs are actually down for the year. That's a pretty clear rotation signal if you ask me. Traders seem to be watching whether the $1.40–$1.42 zone holds as support and if we can break through the $1.45 resistance. If it fails and drops below $1.37, the whole move could reverse.

Right now the data points suggest accumulation rather than distribution, which is usually bullish. The volume spike when XRP broke above $1.37 hit 259M—more than double the daily average—which tells you conviction is there. Whether this holds depends on follow-through above that $1.45 level. If we get there, next targets would be $1.50 and potentially $1.57. But if momentum fades and we slip back below $1.37, it becomes a false breakout and we're back to the old trading range.
