XRP traded around $1.059 on Sunday, up about 1.8% on the day, holding above the $1.00 psychological support. The move comes as Bitcoin reclaimed $65,000 and Ether stayed above $1,900, lifting sentiment across crypto. But the weekly picture is still red — XRP remains in negative territory after recent selling pressure.
A modest rebound
Sunday's gain is a small one, and it doesn't erase the week's losses. XRP spent much of the past few days sliding, and the bounce looks more like a pause than a reversal. Still, holding $1.00 matters — that level has acted as a floor in recent sessions, and buyers stepped in when it was tested.
The recovery is tentative. XRP is up less than 2% today, which is barely a blip after a week of declines. But the fact that it didn't break below the round number suggests some traders are willing to defend the line, at least for now.
Market sentiment improves
The broader crypto market is helping. Bitcoin's move back above $65,000 and Ether's steady hold above $1,900 have calmed nerves after a rocky stretch. When the top two coins stabilize, altcoins like XRP tend to catch a bid — even if the bid is modest.
That doesn't mean the pressure is gone. XRP's weekly performance is still negative, and the bounce could fade quickly if Bitcoin slips again. But for today, the mood is a bit less fearful than it was a few days ago.
CLARITY Act vote set for September 15
Further out, the CLARITY Act faces a key vote on September 15. The legislation has been a talking point in crypto circles for months, and its outcome could ripple through the market — including for XRP. What exactly happens after the vote depends on the result, but it's the next concrete event on the calendar that traders are watching.
Until then, the market's focus stays on price levels and macro signals. For XRP, the immediate test is whether it can hold above $1.00 through the week. The CLARITY Act vote is the bigger question mark, but it's still five weeks away.
