The rally came alongside broader market strength, with total crypto market value climbing to $380 billion for the first time since June 2019. XRP's move above resistance suggests bulls have established new support, positioning them to drive toward that higher price target.

Ethereum and Litecoin rode the same wave. Ethereum pulled back from $440 intraday highs to trade near $428 after clearing initial resistance around $430. Soaring transaction fees on the network reflect a surge in decentralized finance activity, where over $6 billion is now locked across protocols, up from $4.3 billion a month earlier. Investors see the DeFi growth as bullish for Ethereum's prospects.

Litecoin posted new support above $65 and printed higher lows during the session. Charlie Lee, the network's creator, noted that SegWit transactions have reached over 80% of network activity. The milestone arrives as the protocol prepares new privacy-focused features. Bitcoin Cash also posted gains.
