Key takeaways
- XRP fell below $1.25 after three straight days of losses, its lowest level since February 6.
- The bearish performance comes as broader cryptocurrency markets remain under pressure from geopolitical tensions.
Ripple’s XRP price fell below the $1.25 support level on Tuesday after continuing losses for the third day in a row, marking its weakest price since February 6.
The broader cryptocurrency market continues to face selling pressure as investors adopt a risk-off stance, driven by rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Although US President Donald Trump indicated the possibility of reaching a peace agreement with Iran “during the next week,” uncertainty still exists.
A CNN report also noted that negotiations between the two countries resumed shortly after Iran halted the talks following the Israeli attack on Lebanon, further contributing to market volatility.
Mixed capital flows show continued institutional interest in XRP
Despite the price decline, XRP continues to attract institutional flows across digital investment products, including US-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
According to CoinShares, nearly $20 million flowed into XRP-related products in the week ending June 1, making it one of the few assets to record significant inflows of more than $1 million.
At the ETF level, spot XRP products recorded $4.13 million in net inflows last week, extending a five-week streak of positive flows.
Cumulative flows reached nearly $1.43 billion, with total net assets under management at $1.11 billion, according to SoSoValue data.
XRP Technical Forecast: Bearish pressure is increasing below the major moving averages
XRP is currently trading near $1.23, and remains below its major short, medium and long-term moving averages, reinforcing the near-term bearish structure.
Momentum indicators also reflect continued downward pressure. The MACD histogram remains negative, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is near 37, approaching oversold territory but still indicating sustained downward momentum.
If the bulls regain control, immediate resistance will appear at the 50-day EMA near $1.38, followed by the 100-day EMA near $1.45.
A stronger bounce would require a break above the downtrend line near $1.52. A reversal in the broader trend will only be signaled if XRP can reclaim the 200-day moving average at $1.65.
While institutional flows continue to provide essential support, Ripple (XRP) remains under pressure due to broader macro uncertainty and technical weakness.
With buyers failing to defend the $1.25 support level, the XRP price is likely to fall below $1.20 in the near term.
