XRP increased 4% on July 3, 2026, reaching $1.0894 after holding $1.08 and testing $1.10 resistance. Wallet creation rose to 4,941 daily addresses, the highest single‑day increase in 14 weeks, while social sentiment reached a three‑month high with bullish comments outnumbering bearish ones by 3.7 to 1. Ripple’s scheduled escrow release of 1 billion XRP had no measurable effect on price. The price formed higher lows at $1.0552, $1.0589 and $1.0799, and volume rose 26.9% above the seven‑day average, peaking at 117.5 million XRP. XRP failed to break $1.1087, the first resistance level, and consolidated between $1.08 and $1.09 on lighter volume. Analysts said the immediate support is $1.08, with $1.0611 as the next downside level if the support fails. A clean move above $1.1087 could open a path toward $1.12‑$1.13. The token remains in a consolidation phase until it sustains a move above $1.10‑$1.12.
