XRP has formed a death cross on the daily chart. The 50-day average has slipped below the 200-day average near $1.37, a pattern investors often read as a sign of weak momentum. XRP trades at $1.30, well beneath both lines, and the price remains under pressure.
The damage is clear in the numbers. XRP is down approximately 15% over 30 days, 29% since the start of the year, and 48% over the last year. The last bounce failed near $1.40, where several moving averages now sit close together and act as a wall. The 100-day average near $1.33 has also become resistance.
XRP Key Levels and Derivatives
Volume tells a similar story. Trading activity has dropped sharply since the big surge in August, which means buyers are not showing strong interest right now. The RSI sits near 40, so XRP is weak but not yet oversold, and there is room to fall before a bounce becomes likely.
The first support is $1.25, the latest low where buyers stepped in twice. A daily close below it would open the way to $1.20 and then $1.15. If selling gets heavier, the next big area is $1.00, the round level that held the price in August.
Key level to capture
On the upside, XRP needs to reclaim $1.33 first. Above that, $1.37 to $1.40 is the key zone. A clean close above it would weaken the death cross signal and could send the price toward $1.50, then $1.65, the October high.
Derivatives data are mixed. Long-to-short ratios on Binance and OKX are above 3, which means most accounts are betting on a rise. That can be risky in a downtrend, because crowded longs often get flushed out.
In the past 24 hours, longs made up most of the $7.25 million in liquidations. Futures flows also show net outflows over the past 4 to 8 hours.
For now, the trend favors sellers. Bulls need a strong close above $1.40 to change that. Until then, $1.25 is the level to watch.
