XRP $1 Support Defies Leverage Flush as $1.10 Blocks Bulls

On June 30, 2026, XRP $1 support became the whole trade: network activity was rising, leverage had been flushed out, and the token still couldn’t break cleanly above resistance.

That tension is the story. XRP is healthier under the surface than it looked during its leverage-heavy selloff, but the chart has not confirmed a recovery. The token held above $1.00 and rose from $1.0451 to $1.0544 during the 24-hour session, a 1.59% gain, according to CoinDesk.

XRP daily active addresses rose from 23,000 on June 14 to nearly 39,500 by June 27, a 72% increase in two weeks.

That is constructive. It is not yet decisive. The market is still asking whether stronger network activity can push XRP through $1.10, or whether this is just another pause inside a damaged trend.

June 14 to June 27: XRP $1 Support Holds as Active Addresses Jump 72 Percent

The cleanest bullish fact in the setup is on-chain activity. Daily active XRP addresses climbed from 23,000 on June 14 to nearly 39,500 by June 27, a 72% rise in two weeks.

That usually signals more wallet-level activity, broader participation, or more transaction demand. But it doesn’t automatically mean spot buyers are accumulating. Active addresses can rise because of transfers, exchange movement, short-lived network bursts, or tactical repositioning after volatility.

The price action shows that hesitation clearly. XRP defended $1.00, but it remained pinned below resistance around $1.10. The token traded in a $0.0435 range during the reported session, then consolidated between $1.03 and $1.06.

The important point: rising network activity has bought XRP more credibility, not a breakout. Traders still want price confirmation before paying up.

June 26 ETF Flows Add Support, but Price Still Refuses to Lead

The fund-flow data also improved. XRP spot ETFs recorded an eighth consecutive week of inflows, bringing cumulative inflows to $144.7 million.

On June 26, XRP ETFs added $15.6 million in net inflows. That stood out because bitcoin ETFs saw $444.5 million in outflows and ether funds lost $12.9 million on the same date, according to the supplied CoinDesk data.

That contrast matters, but only up to a point. ETF inflows show regulated-product demand has not disappeared. Yet XRP’s spot price remains trapped under nearby resistance, which means the market is not treating those flows as enough to reprice the token by themselves.

Open Interest Drops to Its Lowest Level Since July 2025

The bigger structural change is in derivatives. Open interest across major exchanges fell below 150 million from a 1.3 billion peak, reaching its lowest level since July 2025, according to the source material.

That matters because XRP’s earlier rally carried a heavy leveraged footprint. When positioning gets crowded, even a modest price wobble can trigger forced selling. A sharp open-interest reset removes some of that fragility.

XOOMAR analysis: This is the strongest part of the current XRP setup. A market with less leverage is less likely to cascade lower purely because too many longs are trapped in the same trade. It gives spot buyers more room to matter.

But there is a trade-off.

Lower leverage can stabilize price, but it can also mean fewer aggressive buyers are chasing upside. A cleaner market is not automatically a stronger market. It is just less combustible.

Watch the character of any open-interest rebuild:

• Healthy rebuild: Open interest rises slowly while price holds support and spot activity improves.
• Fragile rebuild: Open interest spikes quickly near resistance without a price breakout.
• Bearish rebuild: Leverage returns while XRP slips toward $1.00 again.

That last path would erase much of the benefit from the flush.

June 29 Volume Spike Shows Interest, Not Control

The largest burst of activity came on June 29 at 17:00, when volume reached 86.5 million XRP, about 67% above the 24-hour average.

That is notable, but it should not be overstated. The source reports the volume spike and the later consolidation between $1.03 and $1.06. It does not prove that the volume caused the range to hold, or that buyers absorbed supply.

The chart still shows a token below major moving averages. XRP remains capped near $1.10, with larger barriers near the 50-day EMA around $1.20 and the 100-day EMA around $1.31.

For technical traders, the map is blunt:

• $1.00: Core support and the level that keeps the bullish case alive.
• $1.06: First short-term resistance.
• $1.09 to $1.10: The zone where recent rallies have stalled.
• $1.20: First stronger sign that XRP has shifted from defense to recovery.
• $0.90 to $0.87: Downside focus if $1.00 breaks.

Until XRP clears $1.10, the market is still range-bound. The improving data has not changed that.

Bulls, Shorts, and Holders Are Reading the Same XRP Tape Differently

The bullish case is cleaner now. XRP $1 support has held after a 19% monthly decline, active addresses are rising, ETF inflows continue, and leverage has been cut sharply.

The bearish case is just as simple. Price remains capped below resistance, below major moving averages, and momentum has not reclaimed neutral. The 4-hour RSI recovered to 46, but that is still under the 50 level.

Derivatives traders see a more balanced setup. Lower open interest reduces liquidation risk, but it also reduces the fuel for a squeeze unless shorts lean heavily into resistance. That makes the next move more dependent on spot confirmation than forced derivatives action.

Longer-term holders have a different problem: patience. The current setup rewards waiting for evidence. A leverage reset can create better conditions for a rally, but it does not create demand by itself.

XRP Price Predictions Now Depend on a Spot-Led Break, Not Another Leverage Chase

The next strong XRP move is more likely to come from spot-led confirmation than another overleveraged derivatives push.

Here are the three practical paths from here:

The confirmation level is not subtle. XRP needs to reclaim $1.10 first, then $1.20 to show the market has moved beyond support defense.

Until then, XRP $1 support is doing its job, but only its first job. It has stopped the selloff from becoming a clean breakdown. It has not yet turned a damaged chart into a recovery trend.

The Bottom Line

• XRP’s hold above $1.00 suggests buyers are still defending a key psychological level.
• A 72% jump in daily active addresses points to stronger underlying network activity.
• The token still needs a clean move above $1.10 to confirm that momentum has shifted.
