It is two days to the close of 2025, and XRP is seeing an increase in trading activity, as well as a price rebound.
XRP jumped 65% in trading volume as traders make last-minute moves as 2025 wraps. According to CoinMarketCap data, XRP trading volume rose 65.4% in the last 24 hours to $1.76 billion. This is the first such increase in the last few days, after trading volumes fell in response to light holiday trading.
At press time, XRP was up 1.2% in the last 24 hours to $1.87, extending its recovery since Dec. 26.
XRP reversed a five day drop spanning from Dec. 21 to 25, as traders seemed to take up risk off sentiment in preholiday trading.
XRP price started ticking upwards on Dec. 26, from a low of $1.82, but the price broadly remains in a range.
What to watch now?
The broader cryptomarket rose in Asia trading, hinting at a potential breakout after the markets missed out on a Santa rally that sent stocks to record highs.
The crypto market posted dull price action even as the S&P 500 surged to a record close in the build-up to Christmas. Cryptocurrencies are yet to recover from a weeks-long sell-off that began in October, with the liquidation of some $19 billion worth of leveraged positions.
This largely affected the market, with traders reluctant to bet big on a comeback, but it seems now that there are early signs of a sentiment shift.
Going forward, the market will be watched to see if the current rebound attempts across the markets follow through. The next resistance targets for XRP are currently at $2.06 and $2.57, while support lies in the $1.70 range.
However, time does not seem to be on the side of the bulls, as XRP is down 12.91% so far in December and down 14% on a yearly basis.
Going into 2026, traders will be assessing the Federal Reserve’s monetary rate path, with implications for the broader crypto market.
