Updated: Dec 31 2025- Short-Term Price Action: As of December 31, 2025, XRP traded at $1.8656, down 0.58% from the previous session with a trading volume of 5.22 million XRP, indicating steady but unconvincing market participation.
- Weak Rebounds: Despite multiple attempts to stabilize above the $1.83–$1.85 range, each rebound has failed to extend significantly higher, suggesting active selling at elevated levels and a cautious market sentiment.
- Descending Channel Structure: Analysis by trader Gain Muse indicates XRP is locked within a well-defined descending channel, with recovery attempts capped by a falling resistance line, reinforcing the prevailing bearish trend.
- Fragile Support: XRP is currently hovering just above a fragile support base near the channel's lower edge, with momentum indicators suggesting exhaustion rather than reversal, and a lack of decisive resistance reclaim increases the likelihood of continued downside pressure.
