However, institutions and some whales maintain short positions at $1.35, making it a key level that must be breached for a potential rise to $1.40 and $1.60. XRP is currently trading at $1.34, with a 24-hour low of $1.28 and a high of $1.35. Trading volume has increased by 72%, supporting the continued upward price movement.
