XRP’s Rebound Faces a Tougher Test Than Breaking $1.30

XRP has edged back toward $1.30 after a bruising October, but the recovery is running into a contradiction: network activity is improving while demand from U.S. trading venues appears to be fading. The token traded near $1.25 to $1.28 in the latest reports, recovering modestly as broader crypto markets remained cautious. One market analysis pointed to a bullish Bollinger Band setup and a potential larger upside move, though that view depends on XRP holding its recent gains in an unsettled market.
