XRP Price Keeps Getting Shot Down as $1.45 Becomes ‘No Man’s Land’
The XRP (XRP-USD) market is under the pump again. After yet another failed attempt to push above the $1.43–$1.45 resistance zone, the price has slipped to $1.41. This area, which has seen repeated rejections, is now acting like a “no man’s land” for bulls, where every attempt to reclaim higher ground is met with immediate selling pressure. To make matters worse, trading volume during this recent slide spiked 74% above average, signaling that sellers are still in firm control of the short-term direction.
Sellers Maintain Control of Market Structure
The current price action is a continuation of a broader struggle that has defined XRP since its 2025 peak. While institutional interest, tracked through steady spot ETF inflows, has provided some support, it hasn’t been enough to offset the persistent selling at these key psychological ceilings. This mismatch between long-term institutional buying and short-term speculative selling has trapped XRP in a tight, difficult-to-navigate corridor.
Traders Watch the Critical $1.40 Level
All eyes are now focused on the $1.40 support mark. This is the pivotal line of defense. If buyers can hold this floor, the market may stabilize, offering a chance to regroup for another attempt at breaking that $1.45 ceiling. However, if this level fails to hold, the path toward lower demand zones near $1.33, or even $1.00 in an extreme scenario, could quickly open up.
At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $1.3956.
