【XRP Is Losing Its Rhythm—This Isn’t a Simple Pullback, It’s a Structural Problem】
$ 1.29 is a delicate level.
It’s down 7.6% over seven days and nearly 1% in the past 24 hours, but the real issue isn’t the decline—it’s the trading volume. It’s pitifully low. That means both bulls and bears are sitting on the sidelines; nobody is willing to make a real bet here.
On the daily chart, $ 1.24 is key support, while $ 1.34 is near-term resistance. Price is caught between them, with arguments for moving either way, but not enough momentum to break out. The 4-hour and 1-hour charts show a similar pattern: lower highs, but no new lows. This is a typical late-stage converging triangle, and a directional move could come within the next few days.
What matters to the bulls? Holding above $ 1.24—that’s the near-term line in the sand. What matters to the bears? Whether price can get above $ 1.34. If it can’t, they’ll keep applying pressure.
So what does this mean in practice?
That CoinDesk article saying XRP hasn’t made its holders rich the way BTC and ETH have isn’t just stating the obvious. In the projects I’ve seen succeed, there’s always been real business activity driving them—people use them, they have real-world applications, and they solve problems. The issue with XRP is that it’s meant for cross-border payments, but traditional financial systems are moving far more slowly than its valuation. Holders are relying on expectations, not actual returns.
Does the business case hold up? In the short term, I don’t think anything fundamental has changed, and Ripple’s progress hasn’t broken the range either. So who’s affected by this situation? Institutions are still waiting on the sidelines, retail investors are losing time, and the real opportunity is waiting for a confirmed breakout.
So my view is that a test of $ 1.24 is more likely to come first. A break below it would trigger real selling pressure. Until then, it’s just going to grind sideways.
What do you think will break XRP out of this range?
