- XRP has broken key resistance levels above $3.10, signaling a potential rally toward its July 2025 all-time high of $3.60.
- Despite $120 million in whale sell-offs, the token’s market cap has grown to $185 billion, reclaiming the third spot in crypto rankings.
XRP has emerged from a consolidation phase, signaling renewed bullish activity after breaking critical resistance levels. Following a 10% surge over the past week, the Ripple token now trades above $3.10, capturing investor attention and reclaiming its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
Breaking Through Resistance
According to popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez, XRP’s breakout past the $3 and $3.05 resistance marks a potential path toward its July 2025 all-time high of $3.60. Martinez, who boasts over 150,000 followers on X, previously highlighted the $3.05 level as a pivotal threshold.

“If sellers defend $3.05, XRP could drop back to $2.80, as we’ve seen several times since August,” Martinez explained. “But a decisive break above it opens the door to $3.60 and possibly even higher toward the $3.65 ATH recorded in mid-July.”
XRP Whale Activity and Market Reactions
Interestingly, XRP’s upward trend has persisted despite significant whale movements. Over $120 million worth of XRP was offloaded within a 24-hour window, yet the token still climbed above the key resistance. This resilience has fueled optimism among traders and analysts alike.
CRYPTOWZRD described XRP’s recent close as “slightly bullish” against the U.S. dollar, while Martinez noted that XRP/BTC’s daily symmetrical triangle breakout could be even more impactful, suggesting strong upward potential against Bitcoin.

Market Cap and Trading Volume Insights
XRP’s market capitalization has grown to $185 billion, overtaking Tether’s USDT to secure the third spot in market rankings. Daily trading volume, however, remains modest at $5.5 billion, trailing Ethereum’s $39 billion and Solana’s $12 billion. Despite this, analysts see the token’s current trajectory as highly promising for the short term.
With resistance levels cleared and bullish signals emerging, XRP may be preparing for another significant rally. Traders and investors will closely watch the $3.60 target, which sits just shy of the token’s all-time high, for indications of whether Ripple can sustain this momentum.
XRP’s recent performance suggests a market ready to challenge previous highs, with analysts pointing to both technical breakouts and broader market interest as catalysts for potential gains.
