XRP’s pullback puts $1.26 and $1.10 support in focus, while $0.98 remains the key level for preserving the broader recovery structure.
XRP’s latest decline has broken the short-term structure that had kept open the possibility of another run toward $1.65.
Attention has now shifted lower, where $1.26 and $1.10 form the main support areas that could determine whether the broader recovery remains intact.
XRP currently trades around $1.40, according to CoinMarketCap. The asset had fallen as low as $1.3175 during the latest four-hour selloff before recovering some of those losses.
That rebound has taken XRP away from the immediate low, but it has not repaired the structure damaged during the drop.
XRP Loses the Structure Below $1.53-$1.65
XRP has spent several weeks consolidating beneath a major resistance band stretching from approximately $1.53 to $1.65.
The structure initially left room for another attempt at this zone. Instead, price broke beneath the smaller triangle that had formed under resistance and accelerated lower.
The chart’s Fibonacci levels now place $1.5315 as the first significant resistance on any recovery. Above that, the stronger ceiling sits between roughly $1.6363 and $1.6432.
XRP therefore needs more than a bounce from $1.32 to improve the short-term picture. Buyers would first have to recover $1.53 before the $1.64-$1.65 region becomes relevant again.
$1.26-$1.24 Is the First Major Support
The first important downside zone sits between approximately $1.2604 and $1.2377.
This area combines the 0.618 and 0.65 retracement levels and could provide the next base if selling resumes. From the current $1.40 price, a decline to $1.26 would amount to roughly 10%.
Holding this zone would preserve a higher low above the major August bottom. That would leave room for the recent advance to be treated as the beginning of a larger recovery rather than another failed rally.
A break below it would expose the next support cluster around $1.08-$1.10.
$1.10 Becomes the Second Test
The chart shows another concentrated support area near $1.085-$1.0925.
From $1.40, a retest of $1.10 would represent a decline of about 21%.
XRP could still preserve the broader recovery even after reaching this region, provided buyers prevent price from returning below the summer low.
That makes the next level especially important.
$0.98 Is XRP’s Line in the Sand
The larger structure was built from the August bottom near $0.98.
A fresh low below this area would erase the higher-low sequence and substantially weaken the bullish interpretation.
If $0.98 fails, the lower support band around $0.86-$0.87 would return to focus.
Momentum has already shown considerable weakness. The four-hour RSI dropped into deeply oversold territory during the selloff, indicating how quickly bearish momentum accelerated.
For now, XRP has bounced back toward $1.40. But the real test comes if sellers return: $1.26-$1.24 is the first support bulls need to defend, $1.10 is the next, and $0.98 remains the level that separates a deeper correction from a breakdown of the larger recovery structure.
