XRP News Today: Ripple Holds $1.13 as CLARITY Act Uncertainty Weighs on Momentum

xrp2 (1)

Last Updated: July 23, 2026

XRP is trading at $1.13 as of July 23, 2026, essentially flat over the past 24 hours (-0.03%) but still up 2.48% over the past week, with a market cap near $70.8 billion. The token’s ascending-triangle structure from earlier in the week remains intact, but momentum has cooled alongside broader market hesitation as the CLARITY Act’s Senate path has grown more contested — a merged draft omitting a Democrat-demanded ethics provision has drawn formal opposition, muddying what had looked like a clean bullish catalyst just days ago.

Key Takeaways

  • XRP trades at $1.13, roughly flat over 24 hours but up 2.48% over the past week; market cap sits near $70.8 billion on $961.15 million in 24-hour volume.
  • XRP’s ascending triangle pattern from earlier in the week remains structurally intact, though volume has cooled alongside broader market caution.
  • A break above the $1.30 resistance area would be the next bullish trigger; a drop back through the $1.05-$1.00 support zone would invalidate the recent recovery structure.
  • The CLARITY Act’s Senate floor path has grown more uncertain, with prediction markets pricing 2026 passage odds down to roughly 48% from as high as 74% a month ago.
  • XRP remains below its longer-term 200-day EMA near $1.44, meaning the broader multi-month trend is still technically negative even with the recent short-term improvement.

XRP Price Today

XRP is holding essentially flat just above $1.13, consolidating after last week’s climb from a July 1 open near $1.03. The token remains on pace for its best month since July 2025, but today’s lack of movement reflects a broader market waiting on clarity — both literally, on the CLARITY Act’s Senate vote, and technically, on whether XRP can convert its ascending triangle into a genuine breakout.

Why Is XRP Moving Today?

XRP’s flat action today reflects the same CLARITY Act uncertainty weighing on the broader market — Ripple has long prioritized US regulatory clarity given its multi-year SEC litigation history, so the bill’s contested Senate path is a genuine near-term overhang rather than a settled tailwind. Away from the regulatory story, RippleX has continued highlighting growth in agentic (AI-driven) transaction volume on the XRP Ledger, a slower-moving but steady source of underlying network activity.

What This Means for the Days Ahead

The key level to watch remains $1.12-$1.18 resistance — a decisive break above it would open the door toward $1.30, while failure to clear it risks a slide back toward the $1.05-$1.00 support zone. As with the rest of the market, the CLARITY Act’s Senate floor vote timeline before the roughly August 7 recess is the single biggest scheduled catalyst, and its outcome is now genuinely uncertain rather than a foregone conclusion.
