XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) surged to $1.27 Monday, breaking decisively out of the June descending triangle as $6.07 million in short positions got liquidated in 24 hours.

XRP extended its rebound from recent lows on the strongest buying activity in weeks, with institutional flows and ETF demand supporting a push toward the $1.20 level.

Heavy volume pushed XRP through multiple resistance levels, with traders now focused on whether the rally can extend toward $1.30 after weeks of defensive positioning.
