In our last XRP weekly prediction, we came up with three ways it could go. The best case was for It to climb back over $1.15 and push toward $1.20–$1.30. The middle ground was that it hangs out between $1.08 and $1.15 without making any big moves and the worst case is If it drops under $1.08, we could see $1.00 or even $0.90.
However, the XRP price tried to get over $1.15 but couldn’t. Then it fell below a key support level. Buyers finally stepped in around $1.05, and that gave it a little boost. Right now, it’s back to $1.08, up about 1.44% in the last day. That’s actually better than how most other cryptos are doing.
One thing worth noting, derivatives liquidations dropped to just $243,000. That’s low. And when liquidations are that low, there’s less selling pressure, which could set the stage for a short squeeze if the XRP price starts moving up.

Catalysts Driving the XRP Price This New Week
One of the biggest talking points this week is the XRPL v3.3.0 upgrade, expected in early August. The release brings five major changes, including Confidential MPT for better privacy, Batch transactions for atomic multi-transfers, Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees and Reserves, and Dynamic MPT.
Taken together, these features improve tokenization, institutional functionality, and network usability, giving investors another reason to keep an eye on the XRP price.

Today let , take a look at XRP price as the ETF inflow jump Ahead of XRPL v3. 3 upgrade.

Institutional demand also remains healthy despite XRP spending months below previous highs. Spot XRP ETFs have accumulated roughly $1.4-$1.5 billion in net inflows since launching in November 2025. Those seven funds now hold close to 970 million XRP in custody. Although July inflows slowed, the steady accumulation points to continued institutional participation ahead of the network upgrade.
Another development comes from Ripple’s valuation. SBI reportedly valued its Ripple stake at $41.2 billion, giving investors another benchmark for the company’s private market value. Also, Banx Network announced a partnership with MEXC Learn, which will publish XRP Ledger-powered media beginning August 10. The collaboration adds more visibility to the XRPL ecosystem as adoption continues to expand.

What Is Ripple’s XRP Chart Showing?
We had a look at the chart, and the first thing that stands out is the bounce from the low near $1.05. Buyers jumped in fast after that drop, pushing the XRP price back above $1.08. Even so, the bigger picture still shows lower highs after July’s rejection around $1.15, so bulls have more to do before we can call this a real turnaround.
Momentum indicators have picked up too. The Ultimate Oscillator is now at 53.46, back above the neutral 50 mark after spending a few sessions below it. That tells us buying pressure is getting better, but we’re not in overheated territory yet.
The stochastic oscillator is another one worth watching. The %K line jumped to 80.61, with the %D line at 58.65, showing momentum has sped up over the last few sessions. Even though the indicator is entering overbought ground, strong runs can stay there for a while if buyers keep showing up.
The first resistance is still around $1.10, followed by the bigger $1.15 zone that turned the XRP price away several times last month. On the downside, support is near $1.05, with $1.00 holding as the key psychological level if sellers take back control.
Related XRP News: Here’s Where Ripple’s XRP Price Could Go In August
Where Will Ripple’s XRP Price Go This Week?
For XRP to really take off, it needs to push past $1.10 and then finally crack $1.15. That’s the door. If money keeps flowing into ETFs, if people keep talking up that XRPL v3.3.0 upgrade, and if those liquidations stay as low as they are now, all that could give it enough juice to run toward $1.20. And if buyers actually show up with some real volume? Then $1.25 starts looking like the next stop.
The neutral scenario remains the most likely if Bitcoin trades sideways. The XRP price could spend another week moving between $1.05 and $1.10 as traders wait for more clarity from the network upgrade and fresh institutional flow data. This would extend the consolidation that has dominated the market since late July.
Here’s the worry, if Ripple’s XRP price slips under $1.05, that support gives way. Then we’re probably looking at $1.00 again. And if the whole crypto market starts feeling shaky, $0.95 could be next. Also, if people lose interest in ETFs or that XRPL upgrade doesn’t live up to the hype, that could push even more sellers to step in.
