• Multiple failed attempts to recover the $2.14-$2.15 zone reversed throughout the session
• Market sentiment remains fragile as bitcoin’s demise and heavy ETF outflows weigh on altcoins

Summary of Price Action

The session ended with a decisive breakdown: XRP fell from $ 2.124 to $ 2.103 as heavy selling volume hit the tape. The drop is punched cleanly through Critical $2.10 Supporta level held for many sessions.

Technical Analysis
The XRP chart structure moved strictly bearish as breakdown signals piled up throughout the intraday hours.
Support and resistance dynamics
The loss of $2.10 was earlier support at immediate resistance. Meanwhile, the market now orients around the cycle low at $2.03which formed during the heavy declines earlier in the session. The inability to capture $2.14-$2.15 keeps the near-term ceiling well defined and the risk of dipping to the downside.
Quantitative behavior
The 177.9m climb during the $2.03 rebound confirmed strong participation, but the lack of follow-through volume during recovery attempts signaled fatigue. The last-hour breakdown occurred in 4.4m units in a single interval—enough to trigger algorithmic momentum selling.
Structure of the trend
XRP now prints a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows. The broader trend remains constrained by an unresolved medium-term downslope that began after repeated failures above $2.48.
Momentum conditions
Short-term oscillators are approaching oversold readings, suggesting potential stabilization if $2.03 holds. But without reclaiming $2.15, any bounce risks being reactive rather than structural.
What entrepreneurs should watch
XRP sits at an unstable inflection point:
And $2.03 should be held To avoid a deeper breakdown towards the $1.91-$1.73 support in the next tier
• A reclaiming of $2.15 is necessary to neutralize the bearish continuation structure
• Liquidity conditions suggest institutions paused activity after the $2.10 failure – volume dictated the next impulse
• Bitcoin’s weak structure and dynamic cross of death
• Watch for volatility clusters around derivatives liquidation points – XRP saw ~$28m of liquid in earlier sessions, and fresh forced selling could accelerate moves
