XRP clawed back 4% from its August low. South Korean retail traders are doing a lot of the heavy lifting, and the order books on local exchanges make that pretty clear.

On Upbit, XRP ranks third by trading volume across 275 Korean won markets — sitting behind only Tether and Bitcoin. That's not a small thing.

Fail to reclaim $1.08, though, and things get messier fast. The next meaningful support levels sit at $1.03 and then $0.95.
