XRP has been facing significant challenges lately, with its price continuing to fall. It’s now experienced six consecutive months of decline since October 2025 – the longest such streak in over ten years.

XRP has dropped over 55% in value recently, losing about 10% of its value each month, according to CryptoRank. It’s currently priced around $1.31, highlighting the consistently downward trend.

XRP last experienced a comparable price increase in late 2013 and early 2014. However, after that rise, the price fell steadily for seven months, with the declines being even more significant than current losses.

XRP Liquidations Surge as Bulls Get Caught

Trading has been very difficult lately, particularly for those who expected prices to go up. According to CoinGlass data, there was a huge surge in liquidations – over $285 million worth – meaning many traders had their positions closed due to losses, and losses significantly outweighed gains.

Traders who bet on the price of XRP increasing (known as ‘long’ traders) lost a significant amount of money – over $3.2 million in a single day. They had anticipated the price would rise to $1.50 after a short period of positive movement, but instead, it remained trapped between $1.28 and $1.32, and couldn’t maintain any upward progress.

Short traders also saw losses, but they were much smaller at around $500K in comparison.

Weak Recovery Despite Strong Participation

Despite the recent drop, trading in XRP is still happening at a high level. With around $2.06 billion worth of XRP being traded, it seems investors are continuing to pay attention and anticipate potential price changes.

Some of the recent positive outlook for XRP is based on past performance. Historically, April has tended to be a good month for the cryptocurrency, and many investors are continuing to hold onto their XRP in anticipation of a price increase.

But so far, the price hasn’t delivered, and expectations continue to fall short.

XRP Q1 Performance Raises Bigger Concerns

Looking at the bigger trend, things aren’t improving. XRP ended the first quarter of 2026 with a 27.1% loss, marking its worst performance for that period since 2018.

If the asset’s price keeps falling, investors may lose interest and move their money to more promising investments.

What Awaits?

The technical outlook is still weak, especially against Bitcoin. Crypto analyst CasiTrades says 

With the recent positive trend gaining strength, I anticipate prices will likely continue to rise, potentially reaching between $1.05 and $1.09. This move would finish the anticipated third wave of a downward pattern.

Looking at the current price action, I anticipate a move upwards, potentially reaching between $1.05 and $1.09, based on Fibonacci retracement levels. However, I don’t expect this to be a sustained rally. I’m still forecasting a further decline, ultimately targeting around $0.87 before we see a complete correction.
