XRP fell about 5% from $1.91 to around $1.80 as Bitcoin’s pullback sparked risk-off selling across high-beta tokens. The slide accelerated after XRP broke below the key $1.87 support on heavy volume, erasing last week’s gains as sellers moved in near the $1.78–$1.80 zone. The move reflected broader weakness in the crypto market, driven by risk-off sentiment rather than token-specific news.
XRP broke decisively below $1.87, triggering accelerated selling on heavy volume and confirming a short-term bearish shift. The breakdown pushed price toward $1.80, where buyers emerged to slow the decline. Buyers defended the $1.78–$1.80 zone late in the session.
Traders now view $1.80 as the immediate support line; a sustained hold could allow XRP to stabilize, but a reclaim of $1.87–$1.90 would signal a corrective pullback rather than the start of a deeper move. If $1.80 fails, downside risk opens toward $1.73, with momentum likely to build as remaining support gives way. For now, XRP remains tethered to Bitcoin’s direction, with technical levels — not headlines — driving the next move.
