XRP Streak Above $1 Hangs by a Thread

XRP's remarkable streak above $1, now at 635 days, came close to breaking on August 11 when it dipped to $0.99 intraday.

Whales bought 380 million XRP near $1 in one week, but the presence of $1.5 billion in leveraged longs could force cascading liquidations if the level breaks.

The CLARITY Act delay until September 15 leaves no short-term price catalyst for XRP, which dropped 3.9% last week while Bitcoin and Ethereum gained.

XRP has spent most of its streak above $2, peaking at $3.65 in July 2025, and the current pressure on the $1 line is a result of it losing roughly half its value in five months.
