XRP's near-term price action critically depends on holding the $1.85 support level amid an upcoming release of 1 billion XRP from escrow. Maintaining this support along with a volume recovery near $2.00 and surpassing $2.08 resistance is key to sustaining a bullish trend. Breaking below $1.85 could lead to a drop toward $1.77 and possibly $1.60 due to intensified selling pressure.
