  • XRP price fell 2% to $2.04 as Bitcoin pulled back towards $90,000.<\/li>\n
  • The XRP token jumped to $2.40 last week, helped by record ETF volumes.<\/li>\n
  • Bulls need to defend $2 or risk falling to $1.80 or lower.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    XRP saw a modest pullback, easing about 2% as it moved toward the key support level of $2.00.<\/p>\n

    The retreat comes as recent bullish momentum in the token shows signs of cooling. Bitcoin also slipped during the session, alongside a pullback in stock futures.<\/p>\n

    Despite the near-term price pressure, development activity at Ripple and signs of institutional demand remain intact.<\/p>\n

    XRP price revisits support near $2: why the downturn?<\/h2>\n

    XRP fell about 2% over the past 24 hours, touching an intraday low of $2.04.<\/p>\n

    The move extends the pullback from recent highs near $2.40, with market participants flagging a potential new supply zone around the $2.10 level.<\/p>\n

    Trading activity remained elevated, with 24-hour volume at 2.94 billion, reflecting heightened participation amid broader market volatility.<\/p>\n

    The weakness in XRP came alongside a pullback in Bitcoin, which retreated from above $92,000 after investors reassessed risk following comments from Jerome Powell.<\/p>\n

    In a statement released on Sunday, Powell said the Federal Reserve had received grand jury subpoenas from the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

    Stock futures declined after Powell characterised the subpoenas, linked to his Senate testimony, as an attack on the Fed\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n

    Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all moved lower, as markets reacted to the prospect of political pressure on monetary policy.<\/p>\n

    Risk-averse sentiment spread across asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, while gold climbed to fresh record highs.<\/p>\n

    XRP has remained under pressure in this broader risk-off environment.<\/p>\n

    Ripple price forecast<\/h2>\n

    XRP gained to above $2.40 last week amid bullish regulatory news from the UK.<\/p>\n

    Gains nevertheless faded, even as XRP exchange-traded funds continued to record inflows and saw record trading volumes.<\/p>\n

    Technical indicators point to rising selling pressure.<\/p>\n

    Signals from the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) suggest momentum is weakening, and a daily close below the $2.00 level could accelerate the downside.<\/p>\n

    Against this backdrop, XRP\u2019s price action reflects a balance of optimism and caution, contrasting with the broader outlook for risk assets amid lingering macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.<\/p>\n

    Chart patterns also indicate further downside risks. The daily RSI is hovering around 50, a neutral level, but has turned lower, signalling fading momentum.<\/p>\n

    The MACD, meanwhile, is pointing toward a potential bearish crossover.<\/p>\n

    If confirmed, it could trigger additional selling before any reversal takes hold. Immediate support is seen near the $1.80 level.<\/p>\n

    On the upside, sustained ETF demand, falling exchange reserves, and continued institutional interest could help stabilise prices.<\/p>\n

    In a recovery scenario, traders are likely to watch $2.40 and $2.50 as key resistance levels, with a short-term upside target around $3.00.<\/p>\n
