XRP slid more than 5 percent to about $1.20, breaking key support at $1.25 even as exchange balances fell and ETF inflows into crypto remained strong.
The loss of $1.25 has turned that level into overhead resistance, leaving XRP stuck in a broader downtrend defined by lower highs and weak follow-through buying.
Traders are watching the $1.20–$1.21 support zone closely, as a breakdown could open the door to $1.13–$1.15 while the tug of war between tightening supply and deteriorating price action keeps sentiment cautious.
News Background
• 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.
Price Action Summary
• XRP dropped from $1.2712 to $1.2026 during the 24-hour session, losing more than 5%.
• The decisive move came during the June 2 14:00 UTC session, when volume surged to 205.7 million and pushed price through support at $1.25.
• XRP later fell as low as $1.1858 before recovering modestly and stabilizing near the $1.20 area into the close.
Technical Analysis
• The key story is that XRP is no longer reacting positively to bullish supply data. That’s often what happens late in downtrends, when traders focus more on price action than fundamentals.
• The breakdown below $1.25 shifted that level from support into resistance, meaning any recovery attempt now faces overhead selling pressure.
• The bounce from below $1.19 showed signs of short-term seller exhaustion, but follow-through buying remained weak.
• XRP remains trapped inside a broader descending structure, with lower highs continuing to define the trend.
What traders should watch
• $1.20-$1.21 is now the most important support zone on the chart. Losing it would expose the $1.13-$1.15 area.
• $1.25 becomes the first recovery level bulls need to reclaim before sentiment can improve.
• The market is now caught between weakening supply on exchanges and deteriorating price action. Until one of those signals wins out, traders are likely to remain cautious.
