XRP rose 3% in the 24 hours through August 7, advancing from $2.91 to as high as $3.02 before closing at $2.98.
The move broke through multiple short-term resistance levels and coincided with high-volume buying activity, particularly on Korean exchanges.
Technical momentum aligns with key macro developments: the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is set to deliberate on Rippleās appeal withdrawal, while Japanās SBI Holdings has filed for a Bitcoin-XRP ETF.
News Background
The SEC is expected to deliberate Rippleās decision to withdraw its appeal at 03:00 UTC on August 7, ahead of a broader ruling expected by mid-month. The hearing could lock in XRPās non-security status under U.S. lawāan outcome that removes a longstanding regulatory overhang.
Meanwhile, SBI Holdingsā ETF application highlights international institutional interest, with treasury diversification efforts gaining momentum from corporates reportedly pledging up to $1 billion in XRP purchases.

Technical Analysis
- XRP broke through resistances at $2.87, $2.92, and $2.97 during the rally. The final hour showed a failed attempt to breach $3.02, with a reversal back to $2.98 as volume spiked to 2.11 million in a 10-minute window.
