XRP is facing renewed pressure in the crypto market as bearish momentum continues to weigh heavily on price action. Once considered one of the most resilient large-cap tokens, XRP is now navigating a decisive phase that could determine whether a recovery rally is imminent or if further downside remains ahead. With technical levels being tested and sentiment leaning cautious, traders are closely watching the charts for signs of reversal.
XRP Slips Below $1.4 as Bears Dominate Market Structure
XRP has continued its downtrend after failing to hold the critical $1.4 support level, as the bears seized control and pushed its price lower, turning the former support into resistance. The breakdown has further weakened short-term sentiment, signaling that sellers remain firmly in charge.
Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that sellers have been dominating the XRP market since the start of the year, as the token has closed 6 of the last 7 weekly candles in the red. This sustained pressure reflects a broader wave of caution across the market, leaving little room for a meaningful bullish relief rally.
The extreme bearish rampage has thus left no space for a sustained rebound. However, according to CoinRemark analysts, aggressive sell-offs when cooled are often followed by a similarly sharp and significant price bounce. For now, the $1.4 resistance level stands as a very significant zone. If bulls manage to reclaim and convincingly break above this level, it could signal that a comeback attempt is underway.
$1.4 as the Short-Term Decider
Market expert Crypto Tony has also reiterated in a recent X post that the $1.4 mark is a critical zone for XRP in the short term. According to Tony, if the bulls charge and break past the resistance wall around the $1.4 zone, this would open the way for more upside toward the $1.50 level. Such a breakout could restore confidence among sidelined traders and potentially trigger momentum-driven buying.
However, failure to break past the resistance wall could lead to another sweep toward a lower support level. In that scenario, XRP may retest recent lows as bearish pressure persists and short sellers maintain dominance. The coming sessions will therefore be crucial in determining whether buyers can stage a meaningful defense or if sellers tighten their grip further.
Bullish MACD Signals Hope as EGRAG CRYPTO Eyes $100 Expansion
Despite the ongoing price weakness, XRP’s MACD on the daily timeframe is flashing a bullish signal, suggesting that downside momentum may be gradually weakening. While price action remains suppressed below key resistance, the technical indicator suggests that a potential shift in trend could be forming beneath the surface.
In a recent X post, market expert EGRAG CRYPTO outlined a long-term outlook, claiming that XRP is currently in a “reset mode” and 2026 could be a curveball year for the asset. According to the analyst, this reset phase could lay the groundwork for a powerful expansion cycle.
After this reset, EGRAG CRYPTO expects XRP to enter an expansion phase, potentially surging to $100 if all factors align, including market liquidity, a broader crypto recovery, and sustained investor confidence. Based on this thesis, the analyst believes this is the time for investors to accumulate rather than pull back in fear.
