XRP’s rebound gathered further momentum over the past 24 hours, with fresh capital inflows pushing the token’s market capitalization sharply higher and extending its early-2026 rally.
As of press time, XRP was trading at $2.35, up more than 9% on the day, lifting its weekly gains to over 25%.
At the current price, XRP is trading comfortably above its 50-day SMA near $2.03, signaling strong short-term momentum. However, it remains below the 200-day SMA at around $2.45, indicating persistent long-term resistance.
However, the 14-day RSI near 75 shows XRP is overbought, suggesting recent gains may be stretched and that a short-term pullback or consolidation is possible.
XRP’s price advance drove a sharp rise in market value, lifting its market capitalization to $142.81 billion at press time from $129.74 billion a day earlier, representing an inflow of $13.07 billion.
The rally saw XRP break through a resistance zone around the $2 mark that had capped upside for weeks, supported by one of the token’s strongest volume surges since mid-December.
Impact of ETF on XRP
Market participants pointed to heavy institutional participation alongside a tightening supply of tokens held on exchanges, a combination that amplified the move once resistance levels were cleared.
Institutional flows were particularly visible in the U.S. spot XRP ETF market. On Monday alone, these products recorded $48 million in inflows, extending a streak of uninterrupted daily inflows since their launch on November 13.
Several XRP ETFs also posted their highest single-day trading volumes on record, accelerating the pace of accumulation.
Cumulative inflows into spot XRP ETFs have now surpassed $1 billion in under two months. Since the first product launched in mid-November, the funds have logged eight consecutive weeks of net inflows, reaching approximately $1.23 billion as of Monday.
This sustained demand has reinforced bullish sentiment and provided a steady source of buying pressure.
At the same time, the token has been supported by broader cryptocurrency market sentiment led by Bitcoin (BTC), largely triggered by geopolitical events involving the United States and Venezuela.
