XRP finally pushed through the $1.14 level that had capped recent attempts higher, but the move did not run cleanly into the next resistance band. Buyers drove the token as high as $1,158 on heavy volume before sellers forced a pullback towards $1,146, making the session a test of whether previous resistance can now act as support.
