XRP breaks $1.25 support as selling overwhelms bullish signals
In brief
- XRP dropped 5% in a single session, breaking below the $1.25 support level on heavy volume
- 25+ million XRP left exchanges in recent days, typically a bullish accumulation signal
- Technical selling now overwhelms accumulation signals, shifting focus away from fundamentals
Supply tightens, but price keeps falling
The bullish signals are real. More than 25 million XRP left exchanges in recent days, reducing the amount of readily available supply for sale. Binance inflows fell to their lowest levels of 2026, a trend that would normally be supportive for prices over longer timeframes. Crypto investment products continued attracting fresh capital, with roughly $1.42 billion flowing into spot ETFs during the period.
Yet XRP is no longer responding to these accumulation signals. The token fell as low as $1.1858 before recovering modestly and stabilizing near the $1.20 area into the close. The breakdown below $1.25 shifted that level from support into resistance, meaning any recovery attempt now faces overhead pressure.

The technical picture darkens
XRP remains trapped inside a broader descending structure with lower highs continuing to define the trend. $1.20-$1.21 is the most important support zone on the chart, and losing it would expose the $1.13-$1.15 area below.
Bulls need to reclaim $1.25 before sentiment can improve. Until that happens, technical selling is overwhelming longer-term accumulation, keeping traders cautious despite the shrinking exchange balances. The market is caught between weakening supply and deteriorating price action — and so far, price action is winning.
