XRP Crashes Below $2.15, Bears Eye $1.55 Next

XRP (Ripple) experienced a sharp decline on November 19, 2025, plunging 3.6% from $2.21 to $2.13, breaking the pivotal $2.15 support level.

Intense institutional selling and a surge in volume—up 76% above average at 177.9 million tokens—marked the breakdown, accelerating bearish momentum in the market.

Attempts to recapture key levels faltered as XRP experienced heavy downward pressure in the volatile session.​

The sharp drop coincided with Bitcoin’s ongoing “Death Cross” event, triggering intensified risk-off flows across altcoins, including XRP, known for its high beta volatility.

Buyers stepped in briefly near the $2.04–$2.05 demand zone, providing a temporary floor before XRP reverted closer to $2.11.

Nonetheless, weak volume on the recovery confirmed a lack of sustained buying interest, hinting at continued downside risk.​

Technical Indicators Suggest Deepening Bearish Structure

XRP’s price action now outlines a lower-high, lower-low formation, signaling pronounced bearish technical structure.

The crucial $2.15 level’s collapse exposes XRP to further declines, with $2.05 support under threat if selling persists.

Analysts note that supply clusters at $2.13–$2.15 face little aggressive bid absorption, suggesting an ongoing sell-off with limited demand to halt losses.​

A broader technical pattern—a descending triangle—signals a potential plummet to $1.55 if the $2 support zone fails to hold.

This would represent a near 25% drop from current levels. Network metrics also point to weakening fundamentals, including a significant drop in daily active addresses, further underscoring XRP’s vulnerability.​

Market participants are eyeing whether XRP can reclaim the $2.15 threshold to stabilize sentiment.

Failure to do so keeps the path open for accelerated bearish momentum, exacerbated by broader market weakness, including Bitcoin dominance and liquidity concerns.

Despite narratives around inflows linked to newly launched U.S. spot XRP ETFs, heightened structural supply appears to outweigh optimism in the near term.​

Quotes from Technical Observers on XRP's Momentum

One technical update from a respected X (formerly Twitter) source noted, "XRP closed bearish as XRPBTC declined sharply when BTC dominance pushed higher. Holding above $2.2770 intraday offers long opportunities; otherwise, sideways or short trades may emerge".

Another report emphasized, “The rejection at $2.21 and breakdown below $2.15 underline market sensitivity, with momentum pressured by Bitcoin's macro shifts and sector-wide risk-off flows”.​

Such assessments highlight the precarious technical positioning XRP currently holds amid volatile market dynamics.
