Trump Directs Five-Day Pause on Military Action

President Trump announced on Truth Social that he has instructed the Department of War to postpone any strikes against Iranian power plants for five days. This decision was made following what he described as “productive discussions” aimed at resolving hostilities in the Middle East.

Trump noted that the pause is “contingent on progress” in ongoing talks. This move has cooled fears of a massive disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, which is a vital path for 20% of the world’s oil. Following the announcement, oil prices adjusted back to $88 after briefly spiking past $100.

Investors Move Back into XRP ETFs

As global tensions eased, interest in U.S.-listed spot XRP ETFs saw a modest return. These funds attracted $1.98 million in new money on Friday, following two days of very little activity. While the amount is small, it marks a positive turnaround.

According to data from SoSoValue, cumulative investment in XRP ETFs now stands at $1.21 billion. Total net assets across these funds have reached $1.01 billion. Analysts suggest that these consistent, though small, inflows show that many investors are beginning to see XRP as a stable part of their long-term portfolios.

XRP’s Technical Indicators Show Mixed Momentum

Even with today’s price jump, XRP faces several hurdles on the charts. The price is currently trading below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), which are all hovering above $1.49. This suggests that the broader downward trend is still in place for now.

Key resistance is currently sitting near $1.45. If buyers can push the price above the next major barrier at $1.54, it could signal a more permanent reversal. On the downside, the $1.40 level is acting as immediate support. If that breaks, the price could slide back toward the $1.32 mark.

At the time of writing, XRP’s price is sitting at $1.4336.
