The breakdown came as traders reduced exposure ahead of a potential continuation move, mirroring weakness across the broader crypto market.The token spent most of the session trading in a volatile $2.03–$2.15 range, briefly showing resilience despite Bitcoin’s renewed breakdown. But that strength faded as the market turned sharply risk-off.News BackgroundXRP traded within a tight, volatile band amid broader crypto weakness.A rebound from $2.03 was fueled by a 177.9M volume spike, but the rally failed repeatedly at $2.14–$2.15.Market sentiment deteriorated as Bitcoin’s death cross and heavy ETF outflows weighed on risk appetite.Institutional activity dried up in the final hour of trading as XRP cracked below support.Price Action SummaryXRP slipped 1.0% over the past 24 hours, trading from $2.13 to $2.11 while navigating a choppy intraday structure.The most notable move occurred at 21:00 UTC, when a 177.9M (28% above average) volume spike propelled a swift rebound from $2.03. But each rally attempt was capped at $2.14–$2.15, forming a series of lower highs as sellers absorbed buy pressure.The session ended with a decisive breakdown from $2.124 → $2.103, cutting through the $2.10 support on elevated sell volume.

The broader downtrend began after repeated failures above $2.48 earlier this month.Momentum ConditionsShort-term oscillators approach oversold territory, implying potential stabilization if $2.03 holds.But without a $2.15 reclaim, any bounce risks becoming reactive, not structural.What Traders Should Watch NextXRP sits at a critical inflection zone:Key Levels$2.03 must hold to prevent a slide toward $1.91–$1.73.A breakup above $2.15 is needed to neutralize the bearish setup.Liquidity & Institutional FlowsInstitutional liquidity collapsed after the $2.10 breakdown — renewed participation will dictate direction.Watch for derivatives liquidation clusters; XRP saw ~$28M in liquidations in recent sessions.Macro & Market StructureBitcoin’s death cross, weak structure, and ongoing ETF outflows continue to weigh heavily on altcoins.A stronger Bitcoin base may be required for any meaningful XRP recovery.
