$XRP is pushing higher despite escalating global turmoil, surging 11% over the past 24 hours to reclaim the $2 mark.
The rally comes after a turbulent weekend driven by U.S. and Israeli military activity in the Middle East, which briefly pushed the token below key psychological support.
Now back above $2.17, $XRP is testing fresh resistance levels with high-volume support holding at $1.97.
