Price Action Summary
XRP fell 1.0% from $2.13 to $2.11 during the last 24-hour session, cruising in a range between $2.03 and $2.15. The token initially showed resilience in the face of broader market weakness, but bullish momentum steadily deteriorated.

However, the recovery repeatedly stalled at the $2.14 to $2.15 resistance band. A pattern of lower highs developed as sellers absorbed each breakout attempt.
The session ended with a decisive breakout: XRP fell from $2,124 to $2,103 as heavy selling volume arrived. The drop passed cleanly through the $2.10 critical supportlevel that had been maintained for several sessions.
Liquidity at the end of the session collapsed, indicating that institutional traders stepped aside ahead of a possible continuation of selling.
Technical analysis
The XRP chart structure turned firmly bearish as breakout signals accumulated on the intraday time frames.
Support and resistance dynamics
The loss of $2.10 turned previous support into immediate resistance. Meanwhile, the market is now oriented around the cycle low in $2.03which formed during the high volume rejection at the beginning of the session. The inability to recover between $2.14 and $2.15 keeps the short-term ceiling well defined and the risk skewed to the downside.
Volume behavior
The rise of 177.9 million during the bounce from $2.03 confirmed strong participation, but the lack of follow-through volume during the recovery attempts indicated exhaustion. The last hour’s breakout came in at 4.4 million units in a single interval, enough to trigger an algorithmic momentum sell-off.
Trend structure
XRP now prints a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lowsconsistent with early stage continuation structures that often precede retests of major swing supports. The broader trend remains pressured by an unresolved medium-term downward slope that began after repeated failures above $2.48.
Impulse conditions
Short-term oscillators are approaching oversold readings, suggesting possible stabilization if the $2.03 level holds. But without recovering $2.15, any rebound risks becoming reactive rather than structural.
What traders should keep in mind
XRP is at an unstable turning point:
• $2.03 must be maintained to avoid a deeper fall towards the support of the next level between $1.91 and $1.73
• A recovery of $2.15 It is necessary to neutralize the bearish continuation structure
• Liquidity conditions suggest that institutions paused activity after the $2.10 failure; the renewed volume will dictate the next push.
• Bitcoin’s weak structure and death cross dynamics continue to put disproportionate pressure on altcoins
• Watch for volatility clusters around derivatives liquidation points: ~$28 million was liquidated in XRP in previous sessions and further forced selling could accelerate moves.
