After climbing as much as 10% and briefly trading near $1.25, the token ran into profit-taking that pushed it off session highs, putting the focus back on whether the breakout can hold rather than how far it can extend.News Background• XRP ETFs recorded a second straight week of inflows, attracting $10.68 million and lifting cumulative inflows to roughly $1.44 billion.• South Korea's Upbit exchange accounted for 31% of XRP wallet-flow activity by June 14, up from 13% a week earlier, highlighting strong regional demand.• Ripple continued expanding its payments infrastructure through integrations including OpenPayd and RLUSD-related settlement activity.Price Action Summary• XRP climbed from roughly $1.14 to a session high near $1.25 before pulling back.• The breakout was driven by a volume surge that reached more than 180 million XRP, easily clearing resistance around $1.20.• Selling emerged near $1.25, trimming gains and leaving traders focused on whether former resistance can now hold as support.Technical Analysis• The move confirmed a breakout from the early-June consolidation range.• Volume was strong enough to validate the breakout, distinguishing it from several failed rallies seen earlier this month.• The rejection near $1.25 is the first sign that sellers remain active despite improving momentum.• XRP has improved its short-term structure, but the broader recovery still requires a move through the $1.30 area.What traders should watch• $1.20 is now the key level. Holding above it would reinforce the breakout.• $1.25 becomes immediate resistance after attracting profit-taking during the rally.• Above that, traders are watching $1.30-$1.32, the measured target from the breakout structure.• A move back below $1.20 would weaken the bullish case and raise the risk of another return toward the $1.14-$1.15 area.12345678910
