XRP price continued its recent slide this week, even as ETF investors accelerated their accumulation. Ripple token dropped to a low of $1.4175 on Tuesday, down sharply from the all-time high of $3.6645. So, will it bounce back or continue falling this week?
XRP Price Has Crashed Despite Strong Fundamentals
The Ripple token has plunged in the past few months as the crypto market crash continued. This crash has led to over $90 billion in losses as the market capitalization has dropped to $86 billion.
XRP has had some notable bullish catalysts in the past few months. For example, data compiled by SoSoValue shows that spot XRP ETFs have had over $45 million in inflows this month, while Solana funds have shed over $8.9 million in assets.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have shed over $173 million and $108 million in assets this month, respectively. The ongoing flows mean that the coin is seeing more demand compared to the most blue-chip coins in the crypto industry.
Meanwhile, more data shows that the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin continues to gain momentum this year. The coin now holds over $1.5 billion in assets, while the adjusted volume rose to over $4.7 billion. This growth makes it one of the biggest regulated coins in the industry.
Another bullish XRP news is that Ripple Labs has continued growing in the past few months. It raised $500 million in 2025 from Citadel and Fortress at a $40 billion valuation. While the XRP price has crashed, the company’s valuation has now jumped to over $50 billion, making it a top-ten privately owned company.
Additionally, the team is working on how to boost the XRP usage and its burn rate. One approach is to launch the Permissioned DEX feature, which will help companies launch regulated trading tools, which will be useful in FX and stablecoin transactions and cross-border transactions. XRP will be integral in this product, with each transaction leading to a token burn.

A key feature in the ongoing crypto winter is that it is affecting all coins, including the best performers. For example, as we wrote recently, Ethereum price has crashed even as the number of transactions in the network soar to a record high. Sergey Nazarov, the founder of Chainlink, highlighted this in a long X post, which you can read below.
The weekly timeframe chart shows that the XRP price has crashed in the past few months, moving from a high of $3.6642 in July last year to the current $1.40.
Ripple token has dropped below the important 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level, confirming the ongoing downward momentum. It has also plunged below the 50-week and 100-week Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), while the Average Directional Index (ADX) has soared to 33, its highest level since March last year.
Therefore, the most likely XRP price prediction is bearish, with the next key target to watch being at $1, which is 30% below the current level. As we wrote in this list of the best crypto to buy, the coin will ultimately bounce back in the coming weeks.
