XRP Price Surges to $1.50 as ETF Inflows and Whale Accumulation Drive Demand
XRP's price has rebounded from its multi-month support base and is now pushing toward $1.50, driven by sustained ETF inflows, whale accumulation, and declining exchange balances.
The spot XRP ETFs recorded their strongest weekly inflows since May, with approximately $39.78 million in net inflows during the week of August 17-21, marking a significant increase in demand for the token.
With RSI already above 80, XRP could consolidate or retest support before attempting another breakout. However, if buyers can sustain momentum through the $1.50-$1.55 zone, the chart opens toward $1.70 and $1.80, followed by the psychologically important $2.00 resistance.
A sustained loss of $1.40 would weaken the immediate breakout structure and expose $1.20-$1.25, but if XRP can hold its reclaimed support, it has the technical and on-chain setup to make $2 one of the defining price tests of its 2026 cycle.
