$XRP just dropped below $1 for the first time in nearly 2 years.

$XRP XRP is holding slightly positive around $1.023 despite the weakness across the market. As long as $1.01–1.02 holds, buyers still have a chance to push back toward the recent range. Next levels I’d watch: $1.05 $1.08

$XRP — $1 Is More Important Than Any Price Prediction Right Now XRP is sitting right where things get interesting. Around $1. Forget the huge long-term price predictions for a moment. The immediate battle is much simpler. Can buyers defend the $1.00–$1.03 region? That zone is becoming critical because losing a major psychological level after an extended decline can invite another wave of selling. But defending it changes the conversation. The first major upside level I’m watching is around $1.18. Until XRP can reclaim that region, I’d still treat rallies carefully rather than automatically assuming a full trend reversal. So the structure I’m watching is: $1.00–$1.03 → critical support. $1.18 → important reclaim area. Hold support + reclaim $1.18 → structure starts improving. Lose $1 decisively → downside risk increases. What makes XRP interesting is that attention around the XRPL ecosystem hasn’t disappeared even while price has struggled. But fundamentals and price structure are two different things. Right now, the chart needs buyers. Defend $1 first. Everything else comes after that. #XRP
