Macroeconomic data releases, Federal Reserve communications, or broader crypto market sentiment shifts may drive XRP alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Technical levels and support/resistance zones established in the days leading up to May 28 will likely influence intraday trading. On-chain activity, exchange flows, or major partnership news involving Ripple could also impact price action. Traders should monitor news feeds, social sentiment, and Bitcoin's performance, as XRP often correlates with broader market movements during volatile periods.
