XRP is under serious selling pressure today, and the 4H chart shows why traders need to be careful.
At the time of the screenshot, XRP was around $1.0077, with a 24H low of $0.9915. The latest move is happening alongside a broader crypto-market decline. Today’s reports show XRP falling toward the $1 psychological level, while Bitcoin also struggled to hold above $65K. Traders are becoming more cautious ahead of the upcoming U.S. inflation data, adding pressure to risk assets.
📉 What the 4H chart is telling us
The structure is clearly bearish:
🔴 Price: ~$1.0077
🔴 EMA 7: $1.0115
🔴 EMA 25: $1.0264
🔴 EMA 99: $1.0559
🔴 Supertrend: $1.0371
🟡 RSI: 33.51
Price is currently below all three major EMAs and the Supertrend, meaning sellers remain in control on the 4H timeframe.
The recent breakdown also created a fresh low around $0.9915. Losing the psychological $1.00 area would be an important technical warning.
⚠️ Why is XRP falling?
1. Bitcoin weakness
XRP is not falling in isolation. Bitcoin's failure to sustain the $65K area has weighed on major altcoins, with XRP among the stronger decliners.
2. Risk-off sentiment
Traders are reducing exposure to risk assets ahead of important U.S. inflation data. This can increase volatility across crypto.
3. Technical breakdown
XRP has been making lower highs and lower lows. The 4H price is below the EMA 7, EMA 25, EMA 99 and Supertrend. Until that structure changes, buying every dip can be dangerous.
4. Liquidations can accelerate the move
Recent market reports point to leveraged positions being flushed as XRP approaches $1, which can create additional forced selling.
🎯 Levels I’m watching
Support: $1.00 → $0.9915
Major psychological level: $1.00
First recovery level: $1.0115
Stronger resistance: $1.0264
Trend reversal area: ~$1.0371–$1.0559
For me, the key question isn't whether XRP can bounce.
It's whether buyers can reclaim $1.0264 and then $1.0371 with strong volume.
Until that happens, the 4H structure remains bearish.
A bounce from $1 doesn't automatically mean the downtrend is over. Confirmation matters.
