XRP Struggles at $1.00, Technical Selling Looms

XRP is currently trading at $1.00, a level that has proven to be both psychological support and a stark reality check for the asset's momentum.

In early January, XRP was flagged as having short-term targets of $2.75 with medium-term analyst consensus clustering between $4.40 and $6.00.

However, eight months later, the asset is struggling to stay above the $1.00 level, a result of the broader crypto rally failing to sustain XRP's momentum.

The market sentiment has clearly soured, with Bitcoin correlation dragging XRP lower in a sustained risk-off grind.

A clean daily close below $1.00 would trigger technical selling and could lead to a stop-loss flush through the level, potentially accelerating the move lower.
