- XDC climbed over 10% to surpass $0.037 on May 15, reaching its highest level since early March.
- Catalysts include potential DTCC integration and Bitcoin rally.
- The technical picture highlights resistance at $0.040.
XDC Network price climbed double digits to above $0.037 on May 15, with the uptick pushing the token’s value to its highest level since early March.
XDC now hovers near the key resistance line formed since late January 2026, but can it go higher?
XDC edges higher as market sentiment improves
As noted, XDC rallied sharply on May 15, rising more than 10% intraday as buyers re-entered the market.
The move lifted the token to levels not seen since early March, placing it directly beneath a horizontal supply zone near $0.040.
Trading volumes rose alongside the advance, signalling conviction among participants who are testing whether the late-January resistance can be turned into support.
But why did the XDC Network price surge in the past 24 hours?
The XDC rally coincides with broader strength in the crypto market, led by Bitcoin’s reclaiming of the $80,000 mark.
That recovery prompted many altcoins to retrace losses they incurred during a macro-driven sell-off this week, creating a risk-on backdrop that supported XDC.
Beyond market-wide tailwinds, several project-specific catalysts likely have recently helped to amplify demand.
This includes the potential adoption as a key digital asset of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation.
DTCC, debuting trading in July ahead of full-scale launch in October 2026, has ignited interest in XDC alongside XRP, Chainlink, Quant, and Hedera (HBAR).
While XRP gains momentum as the top token for institutional post-trade settlement, XDC looks to stand out as the primary rail for tokenized bills of lading and letters of credit. XDC’s Contour acquisition, completed in 2025, cements this outlook.
XDC Network price forecast
The latest gains have pushed XDC price further from a descending wedge pattern that had compressed price action since late January.
Bulls are now confronting a horizontal supply zone around $0.040, which also aligns with the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA).
A decisive break and daily close above this level would likely confirm bullish momentum and could open up fresh bids around the $0.046-$0.052 supply zone.
The area marks the range that corresponds to prior congestion and could be the next resistance cluster.
However, bulls must first hold the recently breached $0.037 level. Failure to do so would raise the probability of a pullback to the 100-day EMA near $0.033.
On heavier selling, February’s lows near $0.029 become a plausible target for short-term sellers seeking to reassert control.
