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. Will it rebound or continue to decline 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, with market capitalization dropping 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 indicate the coin is seeing more demand than 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, and adjusted volume has risen to over $4.7 billion. This growth makes it one of the biggest regulated coins in the industry.
Another bullish XRP development is that Ripple Labs has continued to grow over the past few months. It raised $500 million in 2025 from Citadel and Fortress at a $40 billion valuation. While the XRP price has declined, the company’s valuation has risen 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 enable the Permissioned DEX feature, which will help companies launch regulated trading tools useful for FX, stablecoin, and cross-border transactions. XRP will be integral to this product, with each transaction resulting in a token burn.
Ripple Price Prediction: Technical Analysis
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, the Ethereum price has crashed even as the number of transactions in the network soared to a record high. Sergey Nazarov, the founder of Chainlink, highlighted this in a lengthy X post, which is reproduced 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 fallen below the 50-week and 100-week Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), while the Average Directional Index (ADX) has risen to 33, its highest level since March last year.
Therefore, the most likely XRP price prediction is bearish, with the next key target being $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.
