XRP Price Takes a Hit as Bond Yields Reach 2007 Levels

The XRP price has broken below $1.50 as bond yields reach their highest level since 2007, causing financial conditions to tighten.

The U.S. Treasury yield for the 10-year benchmark climbed to 5.27% on September 29, while the 30-year yield pushed above 5.5%. This has made safer interest-bearing assets more attractive and increased the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding risk assets like XRP.

XRP traders are now looking at $1.50 as a key level to decide whether the recent recovery remains intact. If XRP fails to reclaim this level, it could expose the 200-day exponential moving average near $1.37 and potentially bring the $1.28 region back into focus.

The current setup is different from the recent XRP breakout, when recovering $1.40 reopened the path toward $1.58 and potentially $2. The question now is whether buyers are willing to defend the move while macro conditions become less supportive.
