XRP is showing early signs of accumulation above the $1.00 support level, with higher lows forming on the chart. This comes as network activity strengthens, evidenced by new wallet creations reaching a three-month high. Institutional interest is also evident, with XRP spot ETFs recording substantial inflows.

On June 29, XRP spot ETFs saw $15.34 million in net inflows, with Bitwise contributing $11.94 million. Throughout June, these inflows surpassed $62 million, bringing the total cumulative net flows to approximately $1.48 billion. This increased institutional demand contrasts with cautious retail positioning, as indicated by whale activity metrics.

Technically, XRP is trading around $1.0613, having edged higher after a significant volume spike pushed it through the $1.0560 breakout zone.

A sustained move above the key $1.10-$1.11 level, where the 20-day exponential moving average resides, is considered necessary for a more convincing recovery beyond range-bound trading.
