In XRP news, Ripple\u2019s native token is trading at $1.38, down roughly 1.4% after breaking below a support level that had held for weeks. The question isn\u2019t whether selling pressure is real. It clearly is. The question is whether $1.40 becomes a ceiling that traps price lower, or a level buyers can reclaim before the damage compounds.<\/p>\n

No major news catalyst triggered this move, no partnership collapse, no regulatory shock, no Ripple-specific headline. The breakdown was technical and driven by order flow, with Bitcoin dominance pushing toward 60% and pulling capital away from altcoins, including XRP. That macro backdrop matters because it limits the natural buyers who might otherwise step in.<\/p>\n

It comes as the broader crypto market is up +1.5% on the day, with the total crypto market cap hitting $2.67 trillion as participants await the outcome of today\u2019s FOMC meetings.<\/p>\n\n

XRP News: Can XRP USD Reclaim $1.40 Before the Next Support Breaks?<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the uncomfortable truth about this breakdown: the level that protected XRP for weeks is now working against it. When a support level breaks on strong volume, meaning a real surge of sellers, not just a quiet drift lower, it tends to flip into resistance.<\/p>\n

Traders who bought near $1.40 are now sitting at a loss, and many will sell the moment the price returns there to break even. That creates a wall of sell orders right at the level buyers need to clear.<\/p>\n

Another part of the latest XRP news is trading volume, which confirms that this move wasn\u2019t an accident. Over 1.1Bn XRP tokens were previously acquired above $1.40, according to on-chain data, creating a dense cluster of holders who are now underwater.<\/p>\n
