XRP drops below $1.25 amid crypto market selloff – Crypto News

Key takeaways

  • XRP has dropped below $1.25 after three straight days of losses, its lowest level since February 6.
  • The bearish performance comes as the broader crypto markets remain under pressure from geopolitical tensions. 

Ripple’s XRP has dropped below the $1.25 support level on Tuesday after extending losses for a third consecutive day, marking its weakest price since February 6. 

The broader cryptocurrency market continues to face selling pressure as investors adopt a risk-off stance, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Although U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that a peace deal with Iran could be reached “over the next week,” uncertainty persists. 

A CNN report also indicated that negotiations between the two countries resumed shortly after Iran paused talks following Israel’s offensive in Lebanon, further contributing to market volatility.

Mixed capital flows show continued institutional interest in XRP

Despite the price decline, XRP continues to attract institutional inflows across digital investment products, including U.S.-listed spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

According to CoinShares, roughly $20 million flowed into XRP-related products in the week ending June 1, making it one of only a few assets to record meaningful inflows above $1 million.

At the ETF level, XRP spot products recorded $4.13 million in net inflows last week, extending a five-week streak of positive flows. 

Cumulative inflows have reached approximately $1.43 billion, with total net assets under management standing at $1.11 billion, according to SoSoValue data.

XRP technical outlook: bearish pressure builds below key moving averages

XRP is currently trading around $1.23, remaining below its key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, reinforcing a bearish near-term structure.

Momentum indicators also reflect continued downside pressure. The MACD histogram remains negative, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits near 37, approaching oversold territory but still indicating persistent bearish momentum.

If the bulls regain control, immediate resistance is seen at the 50-day EMA around $1.38, followed by the 100-day EMA near $1.45. 

A stronger rebound would require a break above a descending trendline near $1.52. A broader trend reversal would only be signaled if XRP can reclaim the 200-day EMA around $1.65.

XRP/USD 4H Chart

While institutional inflows continue to provide underlying support, XRP remains under pressure from broader macro uncertainty and technical weakness. 

With the buyers failing to defend the $1.25 support level, XRP could likely drop below $1.20 in the near term.
