is trading near $1.88, 25% down from its 200-day moving average of around $2.54.
The gap shows that recent upside attempts have not been strong enough to shift the broader trend. Analysts see this as a corrective structure with no confirmed uptrend in the near-term.
According to data by CryptoQuant, buyers are active enough to prevent a breakdown, but not strong enough to reach key long-term levels before February.
The cryptocurrency is down by around 40% in the past year and lost $66 billion in market cap.
XRP’s 30-day Sharpe Ratio currently sits at 0.034, a level close to zero. This means returns over the past month barely cover risk, a typical condition during consolidation phases.
Analysts say XRP would need a clear breakout above the 2.50-2.55 level to confirm structural upside.

XRP needs to hold the $1.80-$1.85 support zone. A failure to hold this level could turn the altcoin bearish.
XRP Price Speculation Versus Utility Narrative
According to Aljarrah, XRP is built to operate above debt-based systems and support global settlement.
The expert believes that high price expectations hide XRP’s role as a neutral settlement layer rather than a speculative instrument.
He said true price revaluation comes with real-world financial flows, regulation, and tokenized infrastructure.

RLUSD, Ripple’s stablecoin, holds a market cap near 1.33 billion dollars. RippleX leadership confirms that all upcoming exchange listings either support XRPL at launch or commit to full integration. This strengthens network usage and infrastructure over time.
This ongoing expansion supports the utility case around XRP but has not yet translated into price surge.

XRP is currently trading at about $1.34; if the bill passes smoothly, it could bring in $4.0 billion to $8.0 billion in capital inflows, driving the price higher. Otherwise, it will depend on the broader macro environment and could fall to below $1.20. Policy progress is the dominant factor right now, and April will become a crucial turning point.
