XRP has fallen to a critical support zone near $1.30, with technical indicators suggesting further downside pressure.

XRP has fallen to a critical support zone near $1.30, with technical indicators suggesting further downside pressure. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹125 ($1.31). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by CryptoPotato, with live market data added, as of Mon, 19 Oct 2026 06:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The $1.30 support level is crucial for XRP as it has historically been a strong demand zone; breaching it could trigger further selling, while holding it might attract buyers looking for a relief rally.

Key takeaways
  • XRP has fallen to a key support level around $1.30.
  • The cryptocurrency shows a pattern of lower highs and lows, indicating bearish momentum.
  • Current market cap stands at $82.71B with a 24-hour price increase of 1.16%.

XRP has continued its downward trajectory, reaching a key demand zone near the $1.30 level. This area is significant as it has historically acted as a strong support level for the cryptocurrency.

The daily chart shows a series of lower highs and lower lows, indicating a bearish trend that could persist if the support level is breached. However, the current price of $1.31 reflects a 1.16% increase over the past 24 hours, suggesting some buying interest at these levels.

CryptoPotato's analysis suggests that while the support zone could trigger a relief rally, the overall technical outlook remains bearish. The broader market, however, shows signs of strength with a total crypto market cap of $2.83T and Bitcoin up 1.07% in the last 24 hours.

The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 59, indicating a state of 'Greed,' which may suggest that investors are still optimistic despite the recent downturn in XRP's price.

Looking ahead, the $1.30 level will be crucial for XRP. If it holds, a relief rally could be on the cards, but a breach could lead to further declines. Traders and investors will be watching this level closely in the coming days.
