XRP surged from about $1 to nearly $1.70 in August, marking its best monthly gain since 2021, driven largely by $153.55 million inflows into US spot XRP ETFs, mostly in the latter half of the month. Analyst Ali Martinez confirmed a breakout above resistance with a next target of $1.70, while CFTC data shows a significant 115.7 million-token net short position against XRP, which could add volatility. Historically, XRP's September tends to move opposite August's trend, and upcoming events like the Federal Reserve meeting and a US Senate vote on digital asset legislation could influence price direction. Traders are watching key levels between $1.34 and $1.36 as XRP trades below its 200-period exponential moving average of $1.56.
