The <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> was down 5.19% over the past 24 hours, with a daily high of $1.24726 and a low of $1.14092. Price remains near the lower end of the recent range after breaking below several key short-term support areas, reflecting persistent selling pressure as the session progresses.<\/p>\n<p>From a short-term chart perspective, <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s price structure remains firmly <span>bearish<\/span>. After trading near the mid-$1.30 region in late May, the market established a series of lower highs and lower lows that accelerated into early June. Recent candles show repeated attempts to stabilize, but each rebound has struggled to gain traction before encountering renewed selling. Trading activity increased during the decline, while price continued to trend lower, underscoring the strength of the downward move.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_819945\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-819945\" style=\"width:1656px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-819945\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"> <span>XRP<\/span> 4-hour chart on June 3 via Bitstamp.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The latest price action places <span>XRP<\/span> close to the session low and near the lower boundary of its recent trading range. Although brief intraday recoveries have emerged during the sell-off, they have not been sufficient to alter the broader <span>bearish<\/span> structure. The market remains focused on whether buyers can defend current levels and slow the pace of the decline after several consecutive waves of weakness.<\/p>\n<h2> <span>XRP<\/span> Liquidations Surge Amid Broader <span>Crypto<\/span> Weakness<\/h2>\n<p>Fresh derivatives data highlights the severity of the latest sell-off. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/liquidations\/XRP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coinglass<\/a>, <span>XRP<\/span> liquidations reached $25.64 million over the past 24 hours, with long positions accounting for $24.71 million, or 96.37% of total liquidations, compared with $929,583 in short liquidations. More than 5,800 traders were liquidated during a period in which <span>XRP<\/span> <span>volatility<\/span> exceeded 8.84%, reflecting a market heavily skewed toward <span>bullish<\/span> positioning before the decline. The largest single <span>liquidation<\/span> totaled $1.23 million, while the most intense <span>liquidation<\/span> activity occurred between 21:00 and 22:00.<\/p>\n<p>The <span>XRP<\/span> <span>liquidation<\/span> wave unfolded against a broader <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/1-2b-liquidated-as-bitcoin-tests-62-5k-support-amid-sharp-crypto-selloff\/\">market-wide<\/a> deleveraging event that swept through digital assets. More than $1.12 billion in <span>crypto<\/span> positions were liquidated across the market, including about $949 million in long positions, as <span>bitcoin<\/span> slipped below $63,000 and tested the low-$62,000 region during a sharp sell-off. The broader risk-off move added pressure to <span>XRP<\/span>, where long liquidations were already heavily concentrated.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the sharp correction in <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s price, several recent developments have reinforced the asset\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-turns-14-ripple-ceo-calls-it-the-honor-of-a-lifetime-to-be-part-of-the-xrp-family\/\">longer-term utility<\/a> narrative. <span>Ripple<\/span> CEO Brad Garlinghouse marked <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s 14th anniversary by describing participation in the <span>XRP<\/span> ecosystem as \u201cthe honor of a lifetime,\u201d while the \u201cNorth Star\u201d thesis around <span>XRP<\/span> has gained attention beyond <span>Ripple<\/span>. <span>Ripple<\/span> has also highlighted institutional <span>XRP<\/span> demand as CME launched 24\/7 <span>crypto<\/span> futures, expanding access to digital asset markets.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ripple\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"ripple market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Technical indicators continue to reflect negative momentum. The <span>Relative Strength Index<\/span> ( <span>RSI<\/span>) stands at 26.73, placing <span>XRP<\/span> in oversold territory and highlighting the intensity of the recent decline. The <span>Moving Average Convergence Divergence<\/span> ( <span>MACD<\/span>) remains <span>bearish<\/span>, with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/macd-moving-average-convergence-divergence-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MACD<\/a> line at -0.01633, the signal line at -0.01092 and the histogram at -0.00541. From a Moving Average (MA) perspective, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> is trading below both the 50-period simple moving average at 1.23089 and the 200-period simple moving average at 1.29842, reinforcing the prevailing downtrend. Bollinger Bands show the lower band near 1.16628, the middle band around 1.21476 and the upper band near 1.26323, with price trading beneath the lower band as downside pressure intensifies.<\/p>\n<p>If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> can continue stabilizing and build on its rebound from oversold conditions, the technical picture could begin to improve and support a broader recovery attempt toward key resistance levels. The recent bounce suggests buyers have started responding after an extended period of selling pressure, although momentum indicators remain weak and the broader trend has yet to turn constructive. A loss of recent gains would signal that sellers are still firmly in control, while sustained upside follow-through accompanied by improving momentum would be needed to shift the near-term outlook away from its current <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bull-market-vs-bear-market\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bearish<\/a> bias.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-falls-sharply-as-traders-brace-for-deeper-crypto-sell-off\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Sharp losses pushed XRP near recent lows as bearish momentum accelerated.
