Ripple Price Analysis: XRP Drops Below $2, is a Crash to $1.8 Imminent?

2025/12/12 00:26

After weeks of sluggish price action, XRP continues to bleed slowly across both its USDT and BTC pairs. There is no sign of bullish momentum or a meaningful shift in structure, and price remains trapped below key moving averages. Attempts at recovery have lacked follow-through, with each bounce getting rejected at lower levels. Until something breaks this trend, XRP remains technically weak.

Technical Analysis

By Shayan

The USDT Pair

On the USDT daily chart, the price is still respecting the descending channel that has defined the downtrend since August. The 100-day and 200-day moving averages are now well above the current price at around $2.60, adding extra pressure from above. The recent rejection just below the $2.40 resistance and the failure to break the upper trendline confirm continued bearish control.

As of now, XRP is trading around $2.01, dangerously close to the $1.80 demand zone. A clean breakdown could open the door toward the next high-timeframe support at $1.50 and even the critical $1.20 zone. The RSI also hovers near 40 and shows no bullish divergence, meaning momentum continues to lean bearish.

The BTC Pair

Against Bitcoin, XRP has also broken down from its ascending channel pattern. The break beneath 2,400 sats was a key technical failure, and the pair now sits around 2,230 sats. Both the 100-day and 200-day MAs have flipped into resistance at around the 2,400 sats mark and capped upside attempts in the past week.

This breakdown is particularly concerning since the BTC pair had been consolidating with higher lows, but now that structure is invalid. If this slide continues, the next support lies around 2,000 sats. Overall, there is no strength in this chart right now. Only a slow bleed with no signs of reversal.

Bitcoin ETFs Record Strongest Inflows Since July, Push Holdings to New High

The post Bitcoin ETFs Record Strongest Inflows Since July, Push Holdings to New High appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Bitcoin ETPs saw a net inflow of 20,685 BTC last week, driven mostly by U.S. ETFs. The recent uptick in investor risk appetite is driven by rate cut expectations and new crypto IPOs. Despite institutional demand outpacing new Bitcoin supply, realized and implied volatility remain historically low. Bitcoin exchange-traded products globally logged net inflows of 20,685 BTC last week, the strongest weekly intake since July 22, according to digital assets firm K33 Research. The renewed momentum lifted U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs’ combined holdings to 1.32 million BTC, surpassing the previous peak set on July 30. U.S. Bitcoin ETF products contributed nearly 97% of last week’s 20,685 BTC ETP inflows, highlighting the surge in demand ahead of the FOMC meeting.  Bitcoin ETF inflows “tend to be one of the key determinants of Bitcoin’s performance,” André Dragosch, head of research for Europe at Bitwise Investments, told Decrypt, adding that the “percentage share of Bitcoin’s performance explained by changes in ETP flows” has reached a new all-time high. Compared with Ethereum ETF flows, “there appears to be a ‘re-rotation’ from Ethereum back to Bitcoin in terms of investor flows,” Dragosch said, citing their data. “Over the past week, flows into Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed new supply growth by a factor of 8.93 times, a key tailwind for Bitcoin’s recent performance.”  Analysts at K33 agree, writing that flows have been a key driver of bitcoin’s strength since ETF approvals earlier last year, and the latest surge signals an acceleration in demand that could underpin further price support. In the last 30 days, investors accumulated roughly 22,853 BTC via various products, outpacing the new supply of 14,056 BTC. This rising risk appetite for Bitcoin has supported the recent recovery, Bitwise noted in its Monday report. Fidelity’s FBTC product accounted for a substantial…
