XRP holds near $1.40, but can bulls take control amid a BTC uptick?

• XRP rose above $1.40 as Bitcoin surpassed $81,000.
• A 23% surge in daily trading volume suggests sellers are active.
• The CLARITY Act, ETF inflows, and regulated exposure are likely to aid bulls further.

XRP trades near the $1.40 resistance level, with recent upward momentum pushing the cryptocurrency above a key level amid overall market enthusiasm.

While the uptick has stalled following Bitcoin’s breakout to above $81,000 and slight retreat, a pause could act as a base for fresh consolidation before XRP ticks up.

The Ripple-linked asset looked to have shrugged off news that a key insider trimmed their holdings in favour of the Ripple stock.

The Ripple-linked cryptocurrency could eye an upside extension. However, it also risks a pullback on potential profit-taking across the market.

A 23% increase in daily volume suggests that sellers are active, with bulls now in need of a decisive breakout to retain control.
