XRP Slides 4% as Traders Eye $1.88 Support

Published at 2026-01-25 18:15:08

XRP dropped roughly 4% on Sunday and has since traded sideways, consolidating close to the lows reached following a volatile rejection from just above the $2 mark. The slide reflects short-term selling pressure after bulls failed to sustain gains above the psychological $2 level, leaving traders focused on intraday ranges and near-term momentum.

The $1.88 area is being monitored as immediate support — a hold could allow buyers to re-enter and test resistance back toward $2, while a decisive break may invite further downside and stop-loss cascades. For market participants, this move matters because it signals whether bulls can regain control in the short term or if risk-off flows will pressure other altcoins tied to XRP's directional bias.
