XRP price holds $1.48 as open interest jumps to $1.6B, breakout in focus

XRP builds bullish momentum as open interest hits $1.6B

XRP is trading around $1.46, showing strong bullish momentum as the price climbed steadily from near $1.40 and maintained higher highs during the move. 

The cryptocurrency is currently up about 3.74% in the last 24 hours, reflecting sustained buying pressure and positive short-term sentiment. 

XRP holds a market capitalization of roughly $89.93 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of $2.96 billion. 

This indicates solid liquidity and active market participation as buyers continue pushing the price toward recent highs.

XRP price steadies while open interest rockets to $1.6B

According to a chart shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, XRP open interest has steadily climbed in recent sessions. 

The metric rose from about $1.35 billion to nearly $1.6 billion. During this period, XRP price traded around the $0.60 area. 

The increase suggests traders are actively opening new derivatives positions rather than closing them.

Rising open interest alongside a stable XRP price often signals growing market participation. 

More capital entering the derivatives market can increase liquidity and volatility. 

If XRP price pushes above nearby resistance, these positions could accelerate momentum. This buildup may indicate traders are preparing for a larger price move ahead.

XRP eyes breakout as price holds $1.42 support

Meanwhile, according to analyst CryptoGrim, XRP price is signaling a potential breakout as it trades near $1.44. 

Price recently pushed above the $1.4232 level, which now acts as immediate support for the current move. 

The chart also shows a retested neckline from a W-shaped structure, strengthening the bullish setup. 

However, buy volume remains moderate and has not yet confirmed a strong breakout.

If the price falls below $1.4232 and the level flips into resistance, downside pressure could increase. 

In that scenario, price may revisit the red support zone near $1.29. Holding above $1.4232 keeps bullish momentum intact and supports further upside attempts. 

A confirmed breakout requires $1.50 to flip into support, while $1.58 becomes the next major resistance area to watch.

The indicators show improving momentum. RSI is around 56, moving above its signal line near 46, indicating strengthening buying pressure. 

Meanwhile, MACD shows a positive histogram around 0.018, while the signal lines begin turning upward. 

This suggests weakening bearish momentum and a possible bullish shift if momentum continues building.
