XRP remains roughly 71% below its July 17, 2025 record of $3.65. The scale of that decline leaves the market testing the foundation of the breakout that carried XRP above $1 in late 2024.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>XRP price faces its most important support test<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The $1 area has repeatedly limited XRP\u2019s downside since November 2024. Price spent much of February through June between roughly $1.18 and $1.55 before losing the lower edge of that range. Since then, buyers have defended a narrower band between $1 and $1.18, but each rebound has struggled to establish a higher high.<\/p>\n<p>A daily close below $1 would not guarantee an immediate fall toward $0.50. It would, however, place the token below the base of its earlier recovery and expose lower chart levels. As previously reported in <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/xrp-price-prediction-hold-1-dollar-or-070-cents\/\" target=\"_blank\">earlier XRP support analysis<\/a>, traders have identified $0.85 and $0.70 as deeper areas if the psychological floor fails.<\/p>\n<p>The latest chart supplied for this analysis shows immediate support near $1.04 to $1.05. Former support around $1.055 to $1.06 has also become short-term resistance following the recent trendline break. A rejection from that area could return attention to $1 and $0.96.<\/p>\n<p>The larger trend remains weak. XRP has recorded lower highs since reaching $3.65 in July 2025, while several consolidation periods have failed to create a lasting recovery. <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/ripple-builds-a-3-5b-empire-as-xrp-sinks-toward-1-mark\/\" target=\"_blank\">Longer-term XRP market analysis<\/a> has also documented the gap between Ripple\u2019s business expansion and the token\u2019s declining market value.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ETF outflows weaken a U.S. demand signal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded $3.58 million in net outflows on Aug. 5 after muted activity during the previous session. The withdrawal came while XRP traded near the bottom of its daily range. Although modest relative to cumulative fund inflows, the latest figure adds to evidence that institutional demand has slowed.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in July, XRP funds ended a nine-week inflow streak and recorded several sessions with no net movement. In <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/xrp-price-drops-to-1-08-as-etf-outflows-and-whale-demand-fade\/\" target=\"_blank\">recent ETF demand coverage<\/a>, the token remained weak even when regulated funds continued absorbing supply. ETF purchases alone have not been strong enough to reverse the wider downtrend.<\/p>\n<p>The weakness also comes despite progress by Ripple. The company received full authorization under the European Union\u2019s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework on July 6. <a href=\"https:\/\/ripple.com\/ripple-press\/ripple-receives-full-eu-mica-casp-license\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ripple<\/a> said its Luxembourg license permits regulated crypto services across all 30 European Economic Area countries.<\/p>\n<p>As crypto.news reported in <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/ripple-joins-europes-licensed-crypto-firms-after-mica-win\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ripple\u2019s European licensing update<\/a>, the authorization completed the company\u2019s MiCA requirements. However, regulatory progress for Ripple does not guarantee increased demand for XRP or a higher token price.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Technical indicators keep sellers in control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The daily chart remains bearish, with the token trading below its main moving averages and struggling to recover above $1.10. The supplied chart places the relative strength index at 39.47, below its moving average of 44.14. An RSI below 50 indicates weak momentum, although the reading is not deeply oversold.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/08\/image-30-1024x627.webp\" alt=\"XRP price chart, source: crypto.news\" class=\"wp-image-14476744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/08\/image-30-1024x627.webp 1024w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/08\/image-30-300x184.webp 300w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/08\/image-30-768x470.webp 768w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/08\/image-30-1380x845.webp 1380w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/08\/image-30-880x539.webp 880w, https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/08\/image-30.webp 1856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XRP price chart, source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The moving average convergence divergence indicator also remains negative.
