Key Takeaways:

XRP futures on CME recorded $542 million in trading volume during their first month.

45% of the trades originated outside North America, reflecting global demand.

XRP price eyes key breakout levels at $2.4558 and $2.6549 amid bullish technical patterns.

CME’s launch of XRP futures has brought a wave of new attention to the digital asset. With $542 million in trading volume recorded in just a single month of release, XRP has rapidly become among the highest-traded altcoins on the derivatives market.

More significant still, 45% of such trades were from beyond North America, demonstrating global appetite and institutional demand beyond U.S. borders.

The CME platform, which was previously associated with governed Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, has further augmented its roster with XRP, which has elicited participation from trading desks and hedge funds looking at gaining exposure to the coin.

XRP Rebound Looms with $2.10 Support Holding Strong

XRP is trading at $2.14, down 3% for the past 24 hours. But chart analysis from Rose Premium Signals indicates that such might be the quiet before an ultimate bullish storm. The chart features a descending wedge formation, a formation that is universally considered an ultimate bullish reversal signal.

The trend occurs from May until August and features a bounce from a key support level at about $2.10. In the past, XRP respected this level on corrections, underscoring its significance. The resistance trendline of the descending wedge is also coming under stress, and any confirmed breakout above it can trigger a stiff bounce upwards.

The breakout points are at $2.4558 and $2.6549, which are obtained from extending the height of the wedge from the breakout point.

Volume analysis also supports the trend: diminishing volume on consolidation and a surge on bounce are signs of simmering momentum. A potential retest on its proximity to the trendline presents another buying opportunity for traders to reduce false moves.

Weekly Candle Eyes First Bullish Reversal Since January

To that technical optimism, another chart posted by Cryptoinsightuk offers an even longer perspective. The candlestick configuration on the weekly time frame shows a possible bullish engulfing candle, which would be the culmination of a months-long period of consolidation.

The chart spans from mid-2024 through mid-2025. It focuses on a critical juncture: if XRP closes above current levels, it will create the first bullish engulfing pattern on a higher low since its January peak.

The supporting indicators indicate the RSI trading at 53.24, ready for a bullish cross. The Stochastic RSI also gradually moves out of oversold territory, signaling momentum to return.

The potential breakout to clear resistance is only 8%, but Cryptoinsightuk says the follow-up can be much more aggressive if the breakout is confirmed over the next few days.
