I just checked the XRP chart and honestly the situation remains complicated. The coin is currently touching $1.42, but the downward pressure has not completely disappeared. If you look at the broader context, Bitcoin dropped significantly recently to the $77K , dragging the entire market down with it. ETH is at $2.31K, SOL at $85K, BNB at $633... all altcoins suffered. The reason XRP is falling is not just a Ripple issue; the entire market is facing strong macroeconomic headwinds. The tariffs Trump threatened, the uncertainty around Federal Reserve policies, those things hit risk assets hard. According to the data I saw, open interest in XRP futures has decreased quite a bit since October, meaning retail traders are pulling out. That typically intensifies declines. Interestingly, XRP ETFs have seen net inflows, but apparently it's not enough to stop the selling. The critical level remains at $1.50; if it drops further, we could see $1.25. On the bullish side, if it manages to hold at $1.59, it could attempt to return to $2.00, but for now sellers are in control.
