XRP posted modest gains despite intraday volatility, recovering from early lows to close near $3.22 on strong afternoon volumes. Institutional accumulation and a late-session rally hint at upside continuation. What to Know XRP advanced 1.3% during the 24-hour period ending July 27 at 20:00, trading between a low of $3.15 and a high of $3.23. The token dipped to $3.16 early in the session but rebounded sharply on strong buying interest. A late-session rally added to bullish momentum as XRP settled near the top of its range, suggesting short-term strength heading into the next trading window. News Background Market conditions remained uncertain as crypto sentiment continues to digest recent ETF-related volatility and liquidation activity.
