However, on-chain metrics and institutional flows are showing signs of underlying strength and hinting that holders are becoming increasingly bullish.According to Santiment data shared on X, wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP climbed to a record 332,230, extending a steady accumulation trend that has been in place since June 2024. The analytics firm said large holders continued adding XRP even during periods of market weakness and volatility. Santiment also pointed to a sudden decline of more than 4,500 whale wallets between Feb. 6 and Feb. 8, though it stated there was “no confirmed XRP-specific event directly tied” to the drop.Around the same time, institutional demand for XRP-linked investment products strengthened. CoinShares reported that XRP exchange-traded products recorded $40 million in inflows during the week ending May 8, pushing year-to-date inflows to $191 million and assets under management to $2.5 billion.CoinShares head of research James Butterfill described the pace of inflows as a “notable acceleration,” tying the activity to recent developments surrounding the US CLARITY Act compromise proposal on stablecoin yields.Spot XRP ETFs listed in the US also extended their inflow streak. Data from SoSoValue showed the products attracted $25.8 million on May 11, their strongest single-day intake since Jan. 5.<h2>Traders monitor $1.50 breakout zone</h2>Near current levels, analysts continue to treat the $1.50 area as XRP’s most important resistance level.On the 1-day XRP/USD price chart, the token is trading above its 50-day EMA near $1.41 while remaining below the 100-day EMA around $1.49 and the 200-day EMA near $1.71.<figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://invezz-wp-media.lon1.digitaloceanspaces.com/2026/05/image-1778736519.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="2048" height="1289" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://invezz-wp-media.lon1.digitaloceanspaces.com/2026/05/image-1778736519.png"/></figure>XRP/USD 1 - day price chart.

While holding above the 50-day EMA indicates a degree of immediate resilience, the fact that the price remains suppressed by the 100-day and 200-day EMAs highlights a persistent bearish trend in the medium to long term that can only be invalidated by a decisive breakout.However, according to pseudonymous crypto analyst Bird, XRP has recently broken above a multi-month support line, which could position it for a major rally next.<figure><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://invezz-wp-media.lon1.digitaloceanspaces.com/2026/05/image-1778736519.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="2048" height="1289" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://invezz-wp-media.lon1.digitaloceanspaces.com/2026/05/image-1778736519.png"/></figure>XRP/USD 1 - Day price chart. Source: Bird on X.Fellow analyst ChartNerd agrees with the upside outlook, adding that the token’s rebound from ascending support had opened the possibility of a move toward $1.80.Such a bullish reversal could gain significant traction if positive sentiment builds around the CLARITY Act hearing scheduled for later today, which could serve as the fundamental spark needed to overcome the current technical ceiling.Formally classifying XRP as a commodity could resolve the long-running jurisdiction dispute between the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Regulatory certainty could reduce institutional hesitation around XRP-linked products and financial infrastructure integration and unlock a new wave of capital inflow into the ecosystem.However, for now, the market remains cautious, with $1.44 acting as immediate support, followed by stronger downside levels near $1.30 and $1.20 if sellers regain control.On the upside, a confirmed daily close above $1.50 could expose XRP to resistance at $1.60 before traders begin targeting the $1.80 to $1.85 region.The post XRP eyes $1.50 breakout as Senate’s CLARITY Act vote nears appeared first on Invezz</div>

XRP is approaching a critical resistance level of $1.50 as the Senate Banking Committee prepares to vote on the CLARITY Act, which could significantly impact crypto regulation in the US. Currently trading at $1.43, XRP has shown signs of strength with increased institutional demand and a rise in large holders. Analysts suggest that a breakout above $1.50 could lead to further gains, while immediate support is at $1.44. The outcome of the CLARITY Act vote may serve as a catalyst for XRP's price movement.
