The price of XRP rose strongly on Friday after a sharp earlier decline, supported by increased buying activity and a technical rebound from oversold levels.
XRP gained roughly 15%, recovering to around $1.30–$1.40, after falling nearly 20% earlier in the week to its lowest level since November 2024. The rebound came even as the broader cryptocurrency market remained under slight pressure.
Market data showed the token had entered deeply oversold territory during the recent sell-off, prompting bargain buying that helped drive the recovery. Trading volumes also increased sharply, indicating strong spot demand as investors stepped in following the decline.
Such rebounds are common after rapid price drops, particularly when leveraged positions have already been cleared from the market.
Earlier losses were intensified by approximately $40 million in liquidations, which accelerated selling during periods of thin liquidity. Additional pressure came from the scheduled release of about 300 million XRP tokens from escrow by Ripple, temporarily increasing available supply.
Market participants remain divided over the near-term outlook. Some analysts said the rebound could mark the formation of a temporary price floor after the recent correction, while others warned that volatility may persist if broader crypto market sentiment remains weak.
Maintaining levels above the $1.29 area could allow further gradual gains, while a renewed drop below that range could lead to another test of recent lows.
Analyst EGRAG Crypto said his strategy is to stay positive on the asset if the price moves back above $1.85, which he believes could open the way for a rise toward $2.20. He added that a confirmed move above $2.50 would require a fresh reassessment of the overall market structure.
On the downside, he said that if the price falls below $1.28, the position is small enough that he is comfortable continuing to hold it as part of his risk management approach.
