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 toward $1.146, turning the session into a test of whether former resistance can now act as support.
