Resistance Reclaim and Structural Setup

$XRP has cleared the $1.11 resistance level that had acted as a near-term ceiling, now trading at $1.12 with 24-hour volume of $918 million. This move represents a decisive break of a key 4-hour resistance, signaling that buyers are actively defending this zone. The reclaim of $1.11 is not merely a tick-level detail - it marks a structural shift in the immediate order-flow bias, moving from rejection to acceptance at that price.

Volume profile and price action suggest the move was deliberate rather than a spike-driven false breakout. The 2.08% 24-hour gain has been sustained through multiple sessions, indicating consolidation strength rather than exhaustion buying.

The $1.16 Level and Path Resistance

The next material resistance sits at $1.16, representing a confluence of prior swing highs and a Fibonacci level that traders have historically defended. Between $1.12 and $1.16, expect micro-resistance around $1.13-$1.14 based on recent failed rally attempts and order clustering visible in the 4-hour structure.

Price reaching $1.16 would represent a 3.6% advance from the current print. This is not an asymmetric target - it reflects natural chart geometry and prior point-of-control levels. Should $XRP fail at $1.16, the pullback would likely find support back at $1.11, now functioning as a supply/demand boundary.

Momentum and Session Context

The Asia session has been responsible for most of this sustained lift, with price holding above the prior London session lows. The structure suggests buyers are comfortable holding into the New York session, though intraday volatility typically increases as North American traders enter.

RSI momentum has climbed toward overbought territory on the 4-hour, sitting near 65-70 range depending on the exact candle. This does not signal an imminent reversal - it confirms buying pressure - but it does warn that failed attempts at $1.16 could trigger quick mean-reversion back toward $1.12.
