Major things to watch out for in the coming days:
- Clarity Act Markup: As of today, the Senate Banking Committee has begun the markup process for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a bill intended to create a regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States. The legislation would essentially mean that any regulated entity can now buy or sell XRP in the same way they can any financial instrument (or commodity). If the Clarity Act is successfully marked up by tomorrow, it could have positive ramifications across the industry as senators leave Friday for the Memorial Day holiday.
- ETF and institutional flows: U.S. spot XRP ETFs are in positive territory, while on-chain activity on the XRP Ledger continues to be strong, as evidenced by an increase in both volumes and active wallets.
- Enterprise focus: The wider Ripple ecosystem is still forging ahead into the commercial sphere, pushing RLUSD and cross-border payment solutions, as well as remittance and tokenized asset markets in the U.S. and overseas.
- Regulatory clarity: Now that the SEC is out of the picture and XRP’s commodity classification in March 2026 has been made official, XRP should begin to pick up traction as a payments instrument and use case to complement other markets.
XRP/USD Technical Analysis
After a parabolic spike to $1.507 (its current high), XRP has formed a relatively tight bullish flag on the 1H timeframe, now retesting the black ascending support line drawn from the early May low of $1.379. Currently, XRP trades above the blue MA dynamic support at $1.412-$1.42 and the red MA at $1.438-$1.464.
The inside of a parallel bullish channel is clean, while there have been no flag triangle breakdowns. The flag itself is bounded nicely by the 0.236-0.382 levels. The RSI (55-60) is still within the mid-range levels, with a bullish divergence on the dip, meaning there is still room to go before an overbought condition occurs. Resistance to look out for at $1.464 and the top of the flag’s high ($1.488-$1.507).
Resistance: $1.45 → $1.464 → $1.488 Support: $1.412 → $1.379
XRP is trading above regulatory tailwinds as Congress moves through the Clarity Act. Inflows to spot XRP ETFs are looking positive, alongside Ripple’s continued push into enterprise. Today could be one of the most significant days for the industry as the Clarity bill is marked up.
