JasmyCoin climbed 12.04% to $0.006009 while 24-hour trading volume spiked 204.96%, lifting its market capitalization to $297.11 million and driving the Vol/Mkt Cap ratio to 13.88%.

A market analyst highlighted $2.47 as the key resistance for XRP, arguing that a decisive reclaim could convert it into support and unlock a measured move toward $4.804.
