XRP Plunges to 14-Month Low at $1.42 as Liquidity Crisis Fuels Selling Pressure
Jakarta, Pintu News – The ongoing capitulation of the crypto market has pushed the price of XRP down to a 14-month low of around $1.42. After losing important support levels around $1.61 last week, XRP has continued to post losses in recent days.
The large market cap altcoin, which has a full valuation of around $142 billion, has slumped by more than 23% in the past seven days. As a result, the price of XRP has broken the 2025 support range of $1.61 to $1.85, amid mounting selling pressure.
Why is the XRP Price Dropping?
The main reason the price of XRP has seen a sharp decline in recent weeks is due to the liquidity crunch that has hit the crypto market as a whole. Based on market data from CoinGlass, XRP open interest has plummeted from over $9 billion in October 2025 to around $2.5 billion currently.

XRP’s liquidity crisis has been further exacerbated by low whale activity in recent months. Based on on-chain data from CryptoQuant, XRP inflows to Binance have also decreased as the price of the asset has fallen in recent times.
Has XRP Reached the Bottom?
From a technical analysis point of view, the price of XRP officially entered a bear market after the monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell below the 50 mark. According to Egrag Crypto analysts, XRP’s RSI had peaked in 2025 at around 85 and has continued to decline since then.
However, the analyst noted that XRP’s monthly RSI has historically tended to find bottoms in the range between 43 to 50. As such, he warned traders that deeper capitulation is likely if the monthly RSI falls below 43, which could undermine the long-term bullish structure on a macro level.
Even so, Egrag Crypto expects the XRP price to find its bottom soon, as the momentum shifts signaling preparations for a new phase of expansion.

Broader Market Overview
While the price of XRP is still stuck in a downtrend, its long-term fundamentals remain in favor of a macro bull market. For instance, XRP has gained legal clarity in the United States after the SEC and Ripple both filed motions last year to end their long-running legal dispute.
This situation has attracted institutional investor interest in XRP, which is reflected in the presence of several spot XRP ETFs and the involvement of treasury companies. With Congress expected to pass the CLARITY Act soon, XRP is in a strong position to experience a trend reversal and recover in the near future.
