Ripple’s native cross-border token has dropped to $1.93 after failing to hold above the $2. In the short term, the price action is moving to the downside, but some technical indicators could change the trend in the future.
XRP Stalls Below $2 as Support Shifts
XRP lost momentum after a brief move above $2. Sellers stepped in quickly, pushing the asset down and clearing recent gains. Former support at $2 has turned into resistance, now capping upside moves.
XRP is holding around $1.93, with $1.90 acting as a nearby support level. Failure in that area could lead to additional losses. Bulls would consider a stable movement past $ 2.05 as an important milestone to recover.
Meanwhile, the MACD on the weekly chart is showing signs of compression. Histogram bars are fading, and the two lines are drawing closer. This pattern often appears before a crossover. Traders view this as a signal that momentum could shift in the coming weeks. A technical analyst known as ChartNerd shared,
“$XRP could be a few weeks away from forming a bullish cross on its weekly MACD and breaking its descending resistance.”
Historical data shows that similar crossovers have led to strong upward moves. Despite this, XRP continues to trade below its long-term descending trendline. The line has been respected for months, and the price has yet to close above it. A confirmed breakout above this trendline would be needed for any push toward the $2.50 zone.
Analysts Warn of Weak Buyer Support
Earlier this month, XRP reached a two-month high of $2.41. The move represented a 30% gain from the start of the year but did not hold. Market analyst Dom said the rise lacked strong buyer activity.
“The orderflow analysis showed no strong buyer support and rather a push that was possible due to low liquidity,” he explained.
Since then, XRP has dropped 18% from that peak. Dom also noted that XRP has tested the $1.80 area three times, which he described as a final possible support structure. A move below this zone may trigger deeper losses. To stabilize, the asset must rise and remain above $2.05.
Other crypto assets have also been affected by growing tension between the US and the EU. After military activity involving EU countries in Greenland, the US responded with tariffs. This development has added pressure to risk assets, including digital currencies.
