XRP fell below the $1.13 level on elevated volume, leaving traders debating whether the move represents a final capitulation or the start of a deeper slide toward $1.00.
Despite repeated attempts to hold key support zones, XRP continues to lose ground, with the latest decline pulling price back toward the $1.10 region that analysts have repeatedly identified as a critical line in the sand. Selling pressure accelerated once $1.13 gave way.
News background
Analysts have pointed to the $1.09 area as a key Fibonacci support level XRP has been drifting toward over time. Even with intermittent relief rallies, the token remains below its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, underscoring a broader bearish trend. Volume spiked sharply during the selloff before quickly normalizing, suggesting a repositioning-driven move rather than sustained downside conviction.
Price action summary
XRP dropped from $1.1505 to $1.1248 during the session, losing more than 4%. The breakdown intensified after $1.13 failed, with trading volume jumping to 109.9 million XRP—more than double the daily average. Price later tested $1.1240 before stabilizing as selling momentum eased into the close.
Technical picture
The key development is the break of $1.13, which now becomes resistance on any recovery attempt. The move was backed by heavy volume, pointing to liquidation and rapid repositioning rather than slow deterioration. Momentum indicators are also nearing oversold territory, with RSI readings approaching levels that have previously preceded short-term rebounds. However, the broader structure remains bearish, with XRP still trading within a descending channel and below major trend indicators.
Key levels to watch
The $1.10–$1.12 zone is now the primary support band; a breakdown below it would increase the risk of a move toward $1.00, with further downside exposure toward $0.80–$0.90. On the upside, XRP needs to reclaim $1.13 to reduce immediate bearish pressure. Above that, resistance sits at $1.20, followed by a stronger barrier at $1.35–$1.40 where previous rallies have stalled. The setup is increasingly compressed, leaving XRP at a pivotal point where either support holds or the correction deepens further.
