Why XRP’s Latest Plunge Might Just Be the Drama We Didn’t Know We Needed!

by

So, guess what? Ripple’s little cross-border token took a nosedive straight to a 14-month low! Honestly, it’s like watching your favorite rom-com character trip over their own feet-both hilarious and a bit tragic.

Now, before you start sobbing into your investment portfolio, there’s a glimmer of hope that whispers sweet nothings about a potential rebound. I mean, who doesn’t love a good comeback story?

The Light at the End of the Tunnel (or is it just a train?)

In the last 24 hours, it’s been a bloodbath for the digital asset sector. Think of it as the worst breakup ever. XRP’s value has dropped to $1.11 (thanks, CoinGecko), the lowest since November 2024, while its market cap went on a diet and shrank to nearly $70 billion. Ouch.

Now, this dramatic downward spiral has sent XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) back to a place we haven’t seen since October 2025. And let me tell you, the RSI is like your friend who always gives the worst dating advice-it measures how fast things are changing, but ranges from 0 to 100, so you know it’s serious business.

When the ratio dips below 30, it’s like saying, “Hey, buddy, you’re looking a little too sad and desperate.” And, surprise, surprise, XRP’s RSI plunged to 13 but has now crawled back up to a more respectable 40. Progress, right?

Meanwhile, XRP’s price has clawed its way back to nearly $1.40, leading us to wonder if we’re witnessing the start of a genuine recovery or just another dead-cat bounce. Spoiler alert: it’s never a good idea to trust a cat with nine lives.

On the bright side, over the past few days, the XRP ETF net flows have been showing some positivity, which suggests institutional investors might still be interested. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are having a party with massive red candles. So you see, every cloud has a silver lining-or at least a slightly tarnished one.

Not so Fast, My Friend

But hold your horses! While we’re here dreaming of rainbows and recovery, some folks in the industry are predicting XRP might plunge below $0.50. Thanks for the positivity, right? X user FEXIR | CRYPTO seems convinced it’s all downhill from here, and Charting Guy is waving a red flag suggesting a drop to $1.

To add to our anxiety, there’s a growing number of tokens sitting cozy on Binance, which is basically like seeing your ex with someone new-it’s unsettling. Data from CryptoQuant shows that investors are moving coins from self-custody to the biggest exchange, and now reserves are at almost 2.73 billion XRP. This is usually a sign that something fishy is afoot-like preparing for a sale.
