109.9M XRP Selloff Shatters $1.13, Puts $1.10 In Play

XRP lost the $1.13 support area on a volume spike of 109.9 million XRP, turning a routine pullback into a sharper technical break.

The token fell from $1.1505 to $1.1248 during the 24-hour session, losing more than 4% amid a broad crypto selloff, according to CoinDesk. The key damage came after sellers pushed XRP below $1.13, a level that now flips from support into the first resistance line on any rebound attempt.

XRP slides 4.5% as sellers force a break below $1.13 support

The selloff pushed XRP back toward the $1.10 to $1.12 zone, where traders are now looking for proof that XRP can defend $1.10. CoinDesk reported that XRP later tested support near $1.1240 before stabilizing into the close as selling momentum began to fade.

That fade matters, but it doesn't repair the break. The immediate problem for bulls is simple: XRP lost the level it needed to hold, and the move happened on activity that was more than double the daily average.

“XRP keeps finding buyers near major support, but it keeps losing support anyway.”

That line captures the current setup. Buyers are appearing near important levels, but each defense is happening lower on the chart.

Several analysts had flagged the $1.09 area as a major Fibonacci support level that XRP had been approaching for months. The token is now close enough to that area for traders to treat the next sessions as a direct test of whether support is real or just another pause before lower prices.

The broader structure is still weak. XRP remains below its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, and CoinDesk said it continues to trade inside a descending channel. That keeps the burden on buyers, not sellers.

Heavy XRP volume points to forced selling, not a quiet pullback

Volume is the part of this move traders can't ignore. A break below support on thin activity can be dismissed as noise. A break on 109.9 million XRP traded carries more weight.

CoinDesk described the surge as suggesting “active liquidation and repositioning rather than passive weakness.” That distinction matters. Passive weakness drifts. Liquidation and repositioning reset exposure quickly, often around levels that chart-focused traders have been watching for weeks.

The volume spike also appears to have cooled quickly. CoinDesk said trading activity surged during the selloff before normalizing, which leaves two competing readings on the table.

• Washout case: The heavy burst of selling may have cleared out weak positioning near support.
• Breakdown case: The loss of $1.13 may mark the start of a cleaner move into the next lower support band.
• Neutral signal: Fading selling momentum into the close shows pressure eased, but not enough to confirm a durable turn.

That makes this less about the size of the one-day move and more about follow-through. XRP has to reclaim broken support quickly, or the chart keeps rewarding sellers for leaning against each bounce.

For readers tracking volume-driven breaks across crypto and macro markets, XOOMAR’s recent analysis of how a rate-hike bet crushed Bitcoin, gold, and every hedge offers broader context on why high-volume moves can spread pressure across assets. XRP’s own chart, though, has enough damage on its own.

Traders using technical screens will also focus on how volume behaved around the broken level. Our guide to charting tools for volume profile that reveal traps is relevant here because XRP’s latest move is exactly the kind of support break where volume confirmation changes the interpretation.

$1.00 becomes the key XRP downside target after the support failure

The next major downside area in focus is $1.00. CoinDesk said a decisive break below the $1.10 to $1.12 support zone would increase the risk of a move toward that level, with a deeper risk zone at $0.80 to $0.90.

That doesn't mean XRP goes there automatically. It means the chart has lost one layer of support, and the next layer now has to absorb the pressure.

The near-term map is tight:

The first upside test is not ambitious. Bulls need XRP back above $1.13 just to ease immediate downside pressure. After that, attention moves to $1.20, then the heavier $1.35 to $1.40 zone.

Until that happens, rallies risk looking like rebounds inside a downtrend. The token remains below the major moving averages longer-term traders monitor, which keeps the larger structure bearish even if a short relief rally develops.

Momentum indicators are the one counterweight. CoinDesk said daily RSI readings are nearing levels that have historically preceded at least short-term relief rallies. That gives bulls a possible opening, but oversold conditions are not the same as a reversal.

XRP traders need confirmation before calling a washout bottom

The clean bullish signal would be a fast push back through $1.13, followed by stabilization above that level. A higher low above the $1.10 to $1.12 zone would strengthen the case that the heavy selling was a washout rather than the start of a larger leg down.

The bearish signal is just as clear. Repeated failures near $1.13, another rise in sell volume, or a decisive break of the current support zone would keep pressure pointed toward $1.00.

This is the prove-it zone for XRP. Buyers don't need a dramatic rally yet, but they do need to stop losing levels. The next reaction around $1.13 will likely decide whether this support break fades into a short-term shakeout or becomes the setup for a deeper test lower.

The Bottom Line

• XRP’s break below $1.13 turns a former support level into near-term resistance.
• The 109.9 million XRP volume spike suggests the move was driven by heavy selling pressure.
• Traders are now watching the $1.10 to $1.12 zone and the $1.09 Fibonacci level for the next support test.
