XRP Holds at $1.02, Bears Eye $0.98 as Momentum Fades

XRP is clinging to $1.02 in August 2026, a far cry from January's expectations of trading between $3.50 and $4.50 by now.

Market context shows catastrophically collapsed expectations, with XRP fighting for its life at psychological round-number support.

The chart is decisively bearish, with price below every moving average and momentum comatose. The MACD and signal line are perfectly converged at -0.0216, with the histogram printing exactly zero.
