XRP is currently stuck in the $1.43-$1.45 zone and finally dropped 3.3% to $1.41 yesterday. Trading volume surged 74% during the sell-off, indicating selling pressure remains dominant even as some whales and spot ETFs continue to add positions. Now, the price has fallen further to the $1.33 level based on the latest data.

From a technical perspective, what’s interesting is the structure that’s forming — there’s a compression pattern between declining resistance and rising support, like a tightening triangle. Some analysts say this signals a major move is being prepared after this consolidation phase ends. The previous support level of $1.40 was crucial, but it has now been broken. If XRP can stay above $1.33, there’s a chance for a bounce back to $1.45 and $1.55. But if it continues to fall, it could drop even further into the $1.00 zone.

Traders are now focused on whether this compression pattern will end with a breakout or a breakdown. The high volume yesterday indicates significant activity behind the scenes. Worth watching for next week.
