XRP is trading at $1.09 as of July 14, 2026, up 1.66% on the day but still under pressure. Daily trading volume sits near $1.08 billion, and market cap is around $67.9 billion according to CoinMarketCap.

Sellers have kept control of the short-term setup. The $1.12 level is the key resistance, and until XRP breaks above it, the bearish setup remains intact.

Analyst Cryptrophic pointed out that XRP lost support from its upward trendline and is moving toward a lower downside target. The short setup stays attractive to sellers as long as price remains under $1.12.

Analyst Crypto Patel shared on X that XRP has rallied into a high-confluence resistance zone on higher timeframes. He identified a bearish order block, a fair value gap, and a breakdown retest all overlapping at the same level. His downside targets are $1.058, $1.013, $0.950, and $0.900, and he noted that the highest-probability trades come from retests of broken structure, not chasing breakouts.

$XRP has rallied into a high-confluence HTF resistance after confirming a bearish market structure shift.

Confluence:
▶️ Bearish Order Block (OB)
▶️ Fair Value Gap (FVG)
▶️ Breakdown retest

As long as HTF holds below $1.12, the bearish setup remains intact.

CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain flagged that Binance CVD is negative at -6.93 million. CVD measures the gap between buy and sell orders. A negative reading means sellers are executing more volume than buyers. The 30-day Price-CVD score is 0.84, meaning price and order flow are still aligned but no clear buying reversal is forming yet.

EMA Structure Keeps XRP Under Pressure

On the technicals, XRP sits below all major EMAs. The 20-day EMA is at $1.10, the 50-day at $1.15, the 100-day at $1.25, and the 200-day at $1.46. All four are acting as resistance above the current price.

Bollinger Band data shows XRP near its middle band at $1.08. The upper band is at $1.16 and lower band at $1.01. A move above the middle band with conviction would be needed before buyers can take control.

XRPL AI Activity and RLUSD Growth

On the network side, XRPL’s AI agent ecosystem crossed 1.21 million total transactions. XRP settlements rose 279% to 3,784.90 XRP, while RLUSD settlements jumped 304% to 1,641.14 RLUSD.

RLUSD deposits on Morpho hit a record $250 million, up 40% in the past month. Users appear to be treating RLUSD as productive collateral rather than just a transaction tool.

Despite the bearish price setup, XRP sentiment is bullish at a 3.02:1 ratio, above Ethereum’s 2.31:1 and Bitcoin’s 1.40:1 according to Santiment data.

RLUSD deposits on Morpho reached a record $250 million as XRP remained pinned below the $1.12 resistance level with all major EMAs acting as overhead barriers.
