- XRP fell 5.3% to $2.10 despite easing geopolitical tensions and significant whale activity.
- Ripple’s transfer of $439 million in XRP and other large movements raised questions about potential distribution.
- Technical resistance at $2.17 and support at $2.08-$2.09 indicate ongoing bearish momentum.
XRP faced sharp downside pressure over the last 24 hours, falling 5.3% despite large-scale whale activity and easing geopolitical tensions.
The asset dipped from $2.21 to a session low of $2.08 before a modest recovery to $2.10.
While the broader crypto market attempted to stabilize following ceasefire agreements in the Middle East, XRP’s momentum remained fragile, with technical resistance building at $2.17.
- Market sentiment improved slightly after former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly helped broker a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, calming some investor fears.
- Despite that, XRP struggled to hold recent gains as traders reacted to large on-chain movements. Ripple transferred $439 million worth of XRP to an unknown wallet, and other whale wallets moved another $58 million to centralized exchanges — raising questions about potential distribution or internal reshuffling.
- Although these events drew attention, the token’s inability to reclaim $2.14 resistance signals underlying bearish momentum.
- Technical analysts continue to monitor XRP’s descending channel pattern, with expectations for a breakout or breakdown between July and September. For now, the $2.08-$2.09 zone remains a critical level to hold.
XRP dropped from $2.21 to $2.10 over the 24-hour period, marking a 5.3% decline within a $0.13 range. The steepest selloff occurred between 12:00 and 16:00 UTC on June 26, with back-to-back hourly volume surges above 99 million XRP as price fell to $2.10. Resistance formed clearly at $2.17, with multiple rejection wicks above $2.12 later in the session.

By midnight UTC, XRP had revisited its session low of $2.08. A modest bounce followed in the final hour of the session, as price climbed from $2.09 to $2.10, with short-lived momentum topping at $2.105. A drop in volume late in the session suggests buyer fatigue, though the $2.08 support zone held firm.
