XRP fell about 2.6 percent to roughly $1.41 after a late-session break below $1.44, with selling volume more than triple the daily average.

The token remains locked in a broader downtrend, forming lower highs since mid-2025 as rebound attempts repeatedly stalled below the $1.55–$1.60 area.

Immediate support sits near $1.40; a breakdown could expose downside toward $1.30–$1.32, while stability may allow consolidation and a retest of $1.44–$1.45.

Macro conditions, including the Federal Reserve’s latest policy stance, have kept crypto markets cautious. XRP’s structure is largely technical, with traders focused on whether it can stabilize or continue drifting lower within the established range.
