XRP price chart

The digital asset reached a high of $1.46, with its 24-hour trading volume climbing 39.71% to reach $4.1 billion.

The overall cryptocurrency market also trended upward. The total market capitalization increased by 6.28% to $2.49 trillion, as Bitcoin broke past $73,000 and Ethereum rose above $2,100.

The market rally was sparked by a New York Times report claiming that Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence communicated through intermediaries to the CIA about a desire to negotiate an end to the conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that contact attempts had been made but noted that formal discussions might be delayed.

In response, investors shifted back toward risk-on assets, driving a sharp rise in cryptocurrency prices across the sector.

Key Technical Indicators

The asset is currently trading below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages, all of which are trending downward.

The SuperTrend indicator is at $1.61, remaining above the current price level and reinforcing a generally bearish market structure.

On the 4-hour chart, the RSI climbed toward 66, suggesting an increase in demand, while the MACD showed a fresh bullish crossover.

Futures Open Interest fell to $2.11 billion on Wednesday, down from $2.25 billion the previous day and significantly lower than the $10.94 billion peak reached in July 2025.

A clear move above $1.50 could pave the way for a rise toward $1.60. However, failing to stay above $1.45 could see the price return to the $1.40 support level.

As of Wednesday afternoon, XRP was trading at approximately $1.41, which is still about 62% lower than its record high of $3.65.
