XRP Rebounds After Brief Drop Below Support Level of $1.14
XRP briefly fell below the $1.14 support level due to heavy selling, but strong buying quickly drove the price back toward $1.15, according to CoinDesk. This recovery indicates active buying in the $1.10 to $1.15 range, while traders await clearer directional signals amid the broader trading range.

On June 22, 2026, XRP briefly dropped to approximately $1.12, following a surge in selling volume. The decline occurred around 21:00 UTC, wherein volume peaked at 85.8 million XRP, marking one of the heaviest volume days. Buyers quickly responded, bringing XRP back toward $1.15 and indicating resilience in this support area.
This movement is significant as it reinforces buyer interest within the $1.10 to $1.15 support zone. Nonetheless, the short-term resistance persists near $1.15 as XRP reinforces its position amid the monthlong trading range of $1.10 to $1.30. The recent bounce from the low suggests that traders are not overly concerned about the temporary drop, focusing instead on the implications for future price movement.
"The initial break below $1.1385 looked significant... The recovery was equally important. XRP reclaimed nearly 80% of the decline," noted analysts observing the price action. Futures traders are cautious as they monitor whether XRP will maintain momentum beyond the established range.
- The immediate focus for traders remains on the $1.13-$1.14 range, which has become a battleground after the recent wave of selling.
- Resistance is noted near $1.147-$1.15, where buying momentum appears to stall.
- Traders anticipate that any sustained movement beyond the $1.10 to $1.30 range could provide critical directional insights for XRP in upcoming sessions.
