Trading at $1.33 at press time, the 4th largest crypto asset by market cap has fallen nearly 16% from its March high.<\/p>\n<p>XRP price crashed shortly after the U.S. SEC and CFTC jointly classified XRP as a digital commodity on March 17, ending years of legal uncertainty from the SEC lawsuit and shifting primary oversight to the CFTC.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the bullish news, once it surfaced, many investors sold the news to lock in profits, which created very strong selling pressure on the XRP token.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Third-party data shows whales have been systematically selling their holdings since October last year. These whales have dumped an estimated $6 billion worth of XRP since then, as they used every price bounce as an opportunity to exit their positions.<\/p>\n<p>The token\u2019s price has also been suppressed by the tension in the Middle East, which has lowered investor risk appetite and impacted the broader crypto market.<\/p>\n<p>It continues to remain at risk of more downside as investors continue to move their XRP holdings to exchanges. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/XRP\/futures\" target=\"_blank\">Data<\/a> from CoinGlass shows that nearly $160 million worth of XRP has been moved to exchanges over the past two days. If these investors were to sell their coins, it could trigger a deeper correction.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as the open interest in the XRP futures market has been stalling around $2 to $3 billion for more than a month now, significantly lower than the $9 billion level recorded in October last year, a sign that derivatives traders have lost interest in the token.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XRP price analysis<\/h1>\n<p>The daily XRP chart suggests that the token could be set for more downside in the short term. Notably, the 20-day SMA has formed a bearish crossover with the 50-day SMA, a sign that momentum is turning bearish.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XRP price, 20-day and 50-day SMA chart \u2014 April 13 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>XRP price has also slipped below the last line of defense at $1.43, which represents the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level drawn from the Jan. 6 high to the Feb. 5 low.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to this, the supertrend indicator has flipped red, and the RSI has dropped below the neutral threshold. Hence, XRP price stands at risk of dropping to the Feb. 5 low of $1.12, with the breach of this support potentially further accelerating the slide towards the $1.00 psychological level.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1827\" height=\"954\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776066590_329_XRP-price-at-risk-of-falling-to-112-as-exchange.webp.webp\" alt=\"XRP price, Supertrend, and RSI chart.\" class=\"wp-image-14456790\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XRP price, Supertrend, and RSI chart \u2014 April 13 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite the bearish outlook presented by the XRP chart in the short term, some analysts maintain a bullish perspective over a longer time frame.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent X post by analyst Ali Martinez, he expects the XRP token to rebound by over 500% over the coming months if it successfully breaks out of a descending triangle pattern that has been developing on the monthly timeframe for nearly nine years.
