XRP price remains bearish after rejecting from the point of control (POC), with heavy selling pressure building near $1.90. A breakdown below the value area low could target $1.58.
- XRP rejected from POC volume resistance, keeping bearish structure intact
- Price is consolidating at VAL, but bullish volume remains weak
- A breakdown opens rotation risk toward $1.58 range low support
XRP (XRP) price is showing increasing weakness as selling pressure continues to build after a major rejection from the POC. Since that rejection, price action has struggled to regain bullish traction and has remained capped below key volume-based resistance.
This has left XRP stuck in a fragile consolidation phase near the value area low (VAL), but the structure of the candles suggests bearish control remains intact.
XRP price key technical points
- XRP remains bearish after rejecting from the Point of Control (POC)
- Price is consolidating near the value area low, but bullish volume remains weak
- A breakdown opens downside rotation risk toward the $1.58 range low
The $1.90 region has become a key resistance zone where sellers continue to defend price. This level sits near major volume-based resistance and reflects the area where the market previously failed to reclaim value after the POC rejection.
When price repeatedly fails to push above resistance, it signals that demand is insufficient at higher levels. This creates an environment where buyers become passive and sellers remain dominant. In XRP’s case, the inability to reclaim levels above $1.90 suggests that the market is still in a bearish acceptance zone and that upside attempts are being sold into.
This is exactly how downtrends remain intact. Price doesn’t have to collapse instantly. Often, it grinds lower over time, rejecting key resistance levels while building liquidity beneath support zones.
Bearish candle structure signals weak demand
XRP’s recent candle formation is another key clue. Despite consolidating near support, the daily candles have continued closing in a bearish manner without strong recovery signals. This suggests that the market is not seeing aggressive dip buying.
If buyers were stepping in strongly, price would likely show sharp recovery candles, stronger close positioning, and more volume activity to support the bounce. Instead, the market is moving sideways in a weak posture, which often precedes downside continuation.
This type of consolidation is not neutral. It reflects indecision under pressure. When that pressure remains unchallenged by bullish volume, the probability shifts toward a breakdown rather than a reversal.
Capitulation risk builds toward $1.58
If XRP breaks down below the value area low in a sharp way, the move could resemble a capitulation candle. Capitulation moves occur when price drops aggressively as stop losses trigger and liquidity below support is taken out quickly.
In XRP’s case, the next major target becomes the $1.58 range low support, which has acted as a key structural floor in the broader range environment. This range low represents the next high-probability zone where the market may attempt a reactive bounce.
The important detail is that XRP’s range structure remains intact. Price action is still rotating within the range, and the market is currently positioned closer to the lower side of that structure. Without a structural reclaim of resistance, the range rotation favors continuation into the lower boundary.
Market structure remains bearish until resistance reclaims
From a market structure perspective, XRP continues to print bearish characteristics. The trend is defined by:
- lower highs
- weak recoveries
- lack of bullish volume
- repeated rejections from high-volume resistance
As long as XRP remains below the POC and fails to reclaim resistance levels like $1.90, upside continuation remains less likely. The bearish scenario stays dominant until price confirms strength through acceptance above value and volume-backed recovery candles.
Even if XRP bounces temporarily, it would still remain corrective unless the market breaks the lower-high pattern and reclaims key volume levels.
What to expect in the coming price action
XRP remains in a bearish consolidation following the rejection from the POC, with selling pressure building at the $1.90 region and bullish volume continuing to fade. The price is hovering near the value area low, but the candle structure suggests weak demand, and downside continuation risk remains elevated.
If XRP loses the value area low on a strong breakdown candle, capitulation risk increases, and a full rotation toward the $1.58 range low support becomes the next major target. If the market holds VAL and buyers return with volume, a short-term bounce is possible, but the broader structure remains bearish until resistance is reclaimed.
