XRP spikes 2.5%, beating bitcoin and ether, in breakout above $1.45

Sharp move through resistance came with one of the biggest volume spikes in weeks, though profit-taking quickly emerged near session highs. What to know : XRP broke above the long-standing $1.45 resistance on a sharp volume spike, signaling larger players driving the move rather than retail traders. The rally stalled near the psychological $1.50 level, where sellers stepped in and prompted profit-taking that pulled price back toward the breakout zone. Traders are watching $1.44 to $1.45 as key support and $1.50 as immediate resistance, with a clean break higher potentially opening a path toward $1.56 and even $1.80.
