XRP Holds $1.85 Support as Exchange Inflows Stay Elevated and Whales Sell

Analysts see oversold conditions, warning that a loss of $1.80 would likely extend the decline.

Overview

  • XRP trades near $1.85–$1.90 after a roughly 50% drop from the cycle peak around $3.66.
  • On-chain data show sustained deposits to exchanges since mid-December, including a 116 million XRP spike to Binance on Dec. 19, alongside roughly 40 million XRP in recent whale distribution.
  • XRP Ledger activity remains unusually high, with daily transactions consistently above 900,000 in December and periodic spikes over 1 million.
  • Technical studies highlight oversold readings and emerging bottoming patterns, with key support at $1.75–$1.90, rebound targets toward $2.10–$2.50, and downside risk to $1.50 or even $0.80 if support fails.
  • Institutional interest persists as XRP products drew $70.2 million in the week ended Dec. 27 and 2025 inflows total about $3.3 billion, though analysts note a broader liquidity squeeze weighing on prices.
