XRP dropped below $1.40 as broad crypto selling intensified, leaving the $1.38 area as a closely watched technical support zone nearby.
Bitcoin extended its ascent toward $82,000 while XRP continued to weaken, with this chart displaying a more pronounced relative drop in a given timeframe.
Heavy liquidations and weaker fund inflows added pressure as positive institutional developments failed to offset broader market selling.
XRP has weakened as broad crypto selling pushes the token below $1.40. Bitcoin also retreated, leaving both assets under pressure. The chart shows XRP declining faster throughout the session.
XRP Breaks Below a Closely Watched Area
Crypto Dyl News reported XRP falling below $1.40 during the latest market decline. The report cited a 4.46% daily loss as selling pressure intensified. It also identified roughly $1.38 as an important nearby support area.

Market data placed the token near $1.42 after the October 7 session. It reached almost $1.50 earlier that day before retreating. That session marked one of its sharpest recent daily declines.
Recent price action had already shown weakening momentum around higher levels. The token closed near $1.52 on October 4 before slipping toward $1.51. It then declined further as sellers retained control across subsequent sessions.
The chart reinforces that deterioration through a series of lower intraday rebounds. The token briefly recovered several times, but each move failed to reverse the decline. By the later session, it had moved below the -5% area.
Bitcoin Shows Comparatively Narrower Losses
Bitcoin followed the broader market lower, but its decline remained considerably narrower. The asset moved from near the 0% baseline toward approximately -2%. Its weakest stretch appeared during the later portion of the measured session.
October 7 data showed Bitcoin reaching about $82,805 intraday. The asset later closed near $83,322 after trading above $85,000 earlier. That movement placed Bitcoin close to the $82,000 region cited by Crypto Dyl News.
The chart is confirming the deterioration by a series of lower intraday rebounds. The token moved toward a roughly 5% decline while Bitcoin remained near 2%. That difference persisted despite modest recoveries near the session's end.
Crypto Dyl News framed the decline within a wider market selloff. Recent reporting also linked the move with roughly $550 million in liquidations. Most liquidations involved long positions, adding pressure as leveraged positions unwound.
Market Pressure Extends Beyond Price Action
Derivatives activity provided another layer to the latest market weakness. Recent data showed that the trading volume of perpetual futures on the token was much higher than that of spot trading. Such positioning can work to enhance short-term movements when used in conjunction with leveraging exposure.
Fund flows also weakened during the period under review. Weekly spot fund inflows fell to about $4.74 million from $75.6 million. The sharp reduction occurred alongside continued weakness in the broader market.
The institutional backdrop remained mixed despite several positive adoption developments. Crypto Dyl News noted those developments while emphasizing persistent market selling. The contrast shows how broader risk conditions can dominate asset-specific developments.
Bitcoin's decline added weight to the overall market pressure. Its movement toward the low-$83,000 area coincided with deeper losses across the token. The chart therefore presents synchronized weakness, but with the token absorbing the larger decline.
The late-session recovery provided only a modest change to the broader pattern. The token remained well below its starting level as Bitcoin recovered somewhat. The chart continues to show a wider performance gap between the two assets.
