XRP is trading under pressure as it is unable to regain key resistance levels, while the price movement indicates the continuation of its correction phase. At the press time, XRP is trading at $1.84, having lost about 2% in the last 24 hours, in line with the overall decline in the crypto market.
The daily spot trading volumes have reached $753.84 million with continued outflow from the last 4 days, which indicates liquidity is present but the sellers are in control.
XRP could not sustain a move above $1.95, which triggered a decline. The asset then fell to $1.90 and $1.88 and thus entered a negative short-term structure while also trading below its 100-hour simple moving average.
Near the price of $1.87, a bearish trendline has been formed, serving as the immediate resistance.
In case of a decline, the support lies at $1.80-$1.81. This range has acted as a key support several times this year.
If the price closes below $1.80 daily, XRP would be exposed to a deeper decline with targets around $1.62, where the support of the long-term bearish regression channel meets with the previous swing lows.
In a high-stress scenario, the $1.25 region, October’s flash-crash low, and a former accumulation zone come into view.

From its July peak near $3.67, XRP has lost around 50%, forming a continuous descending channel. Each rebound has stalled at progressively lower highs, erasing the mid-year rally and pushing price back to levels last seen in April.
The steady drop in prices is a sign of distribution rather than capitulation, thereby implying the market is not completely exhausted yet.
XRP is also trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, with a death cross that was verified in November.
The daily RSI is at 37.22, signalling bearishness but not oversold. It is possible to have one more downward move before the momentum gets reset.
Network activity on the XRP Ledger confirms fading demand. Newly created XRPL addresses now average near 3,440 per day, down from about 4,501 at the start of December and dramatically lower than the 13,500 daily prints seen around November 11.
At the same time, the ledger has processed more than 4 billion transactions historically, with daily throughput around 1.5 million and peaks above 5 million. That proves the infrastructure can carry size.
Large holders are de-risking, not adding. Wallets with more than 100,000 XRP controlled about $191 billion (notional) in July, around $129 billion by October 10, near $108 billion on December 1, and roughly $104 billion now.
XRP futures open interest has eased from around $3.54 billion to $3.46 billion, signalling leverage reduction as traders cut risk instead of adding aggressive longs.
Since mid-November, US-listed spot XRP ETFs have attracted over $1.1 billion in cumulative net inflows, confirming growing institutional access.
Regulatory uncertainty has largely cleared, while upcoming initiatives such as RLUSD stablecoin deployment in Japan and institutional-grade lending frameworks on XRPL strengthen its infrastructure case.
In the short term, XRP remains vulnerable below $1.90, with $1.80 as the key level bulls must defend. Failure there could accelerate losses toward $1.62. A meaningful trend repair requires a decisive reclaim of $2.00-$2.25.
