XRP Price Faces Key Hurdle

XRP price remained supported above $1.3120 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above $1.3350 and $1.350 to enter a short-term positive zone.

There was also a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4244 swing high to the $1.3125 low. The bulls even pushed the price above $1.38 but they struggled to keep the price above $1.3950. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.410 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The price is now trading below $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.3980 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4244 swing high to the $1.3125 low.

XRP Price

The first major resistance is near the $1.4050 level. A close above $1.4050 could send the price to $1.4120. The next hurdle sits at $1.4250. A clear move above the $1.4250 resistance might send the price toward the $1.450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.50 resistance.

Another Drop?

If XRP fails to clear the $1.40 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.3650 level. The next major support is near the $1.350 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.350 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.3320. The next major support sits near the $1.3220 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.3120.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
