XRP on Brink of Collapse as BTC Support Zone Looms

XRP is trading on thin ice as it teeters at $1. The token has been consolidating against this level for two months, and a breakdown could send XRP plummeting to $0.80 or worse.

The level of $1 is crucial because it's the last structural support before a long air pocket down to $0.90. Round numbers like this concentrate orders, with stop losses clustering beneath them and limit buys stacking above. The enormous amount of leverage built on top of this level makes a breakdown particularly treacherous.

XRP is currently trading below its 200-week EMA at $1.3745, with its weekly RSI at 31.02 against a signal line at 33.50. This indicates that momentum is still deteriorating, not stabilizing. The rejection map above shows every single level of resistance XRP has hit on the way down.

The next support levels for XRP are $0.9049 and $0.8052. If Bitcoin drops below $60,000, XRP could lose its $1 mark almost mechanically. A 5% drop in BTC can translate into an 8-12% fall in a weak large cap altcoin like XRP.
