XRP Rebounds Sharply After 41% Crash as Institutional Buyers Step In

XRP staged a dramatic recovery in Friday’s volatile trading, bouncing back from a steep 41% intraday collapse to close above $2.47. The cryptocurrency plunged from $2.77 to $1.64 between October 10 and 11 before rebounding as institutional investors stepped in to absorb panic-driven liquidations. The $1.14 intraday range marked one of the widest trading swings for XRP in 2025, triggered by macroeconomic shocks tied to new U.S.–China tariffs that rattled global markets.

Over $150 million in XRP futures were liquidated during the selloff as traders reacted to heightened risk aversion following former President Trump’s 100% tariff announcement. Despite the chaos, volume surged to 817 million — nearly triple the 30-day average — reflecting deep liquidity and strong recovery interest. Analysts described the rebound as “institutional recalibration,” with large holders rebuilding exposure around $2.34–$2.45, supported by ETF inflows and renewed optimism surrounding Ripple’s banking integrations.

Technical indicators showed XRP stabilizing after its sharp decline. The $1.64 level held as the capitulation low, while $2.40–$2.45 emerged as a key accumulation zone. Resistance remains at $3.05, a critical breakout level that could pave the way for upside targets between $3.65 and $4.00 if momentum continues. RSI readings recovered from oversold territory, and MACD signals hinted at an early bullish reversal.

Market participants are now watching whether the $2.47 support level holds through the weekend, particularly during Asian trading hours. Traders are also monitoring ETF-related flows and institutional positioning as volatility subsides. A decisive move above the $2.90–$3.00 range could reestablish XRP’s bullish trend, signaling the end of the macro-driven correction.
