XRP Flips $1.3 From Support to Resistance: Here’s the Next Key Support if $1 Fails

XRP has flipped the pivotal $1.3 range from support to resistance, with bears now eyeing the psychological $1 level as the next area to conquer.

The XRP price remains under selling pressure after losing a key support zone around $1.3 earlier this month. Recent price action now shows that this zone, which was once a support area, has become a major resistance level. 

This change in market structure suggests sellers still have the upper hand as XRP moves closer to a support region that could determine its next direction.

$1.3 Range Turns into Resistance

On June 1, XRP fell below the $1.27 to $1.31 range, a level that had previously served as an important support area. 

For context, following the market crash in early February 2026, XRP managed to hold above this zone for several months, defending against any crash below it. However, this changed at the beginning of June when the asset finally lost this support.

After breaking below the range, XRP continued its decline and dropped to around $1.05 by June 6. This level marked a new low for the year and sits close to the important psychological support at $1, which makes it one of the most watched areas on the chart.

The market later confirmed the change in trend when XRP attempted a recovery earlier this week. The asset climbed to $1.29 but failed to push higher, facing rejection right within the former support zone. This reaction confirmed that the $1.27 to $1.31 area has now turned into resistance.

Since reaching $1.29 on Monday, XRP has lost more than 12% of its value and now trades around $1.13. The asset has also recorded three straight intraday declines and appears set for a fourth consecutive loss. As a result, XRP now looks to be moving back toward the critical $1.05 support region.

Bollinger Bands and DMI Show Strong Bearish Pressure

Several indicators confirm the current bearish outlook. Notably, the lower Bollinger Band stands at $1.05236, placing it almost exactly at the $1.05 support level. This shows the importance of the area.

The Directional Moving Index (DMI) also shows that sellers continue to control the market. The positive directional indicator (+DI) has fallen to 20.4, while the negative directional indicator (-DI) has risen to 27.45 and continues to move higher.

Meanwhile, the Average Directional Index (ADX) has reached 27.9. Since the ADX measures trend strength, this reading indicates that the current downtrend remains strong. For XRP to begin a recovery, both the ADX and the -DI would need to start weakening, indicating a loss of bearish momentum.

What Happens if XRP Loses the $1 Support?

If the current downward trend continues, buyers will likely try to defend the $1.05 support area. However, losing this level could create further problems for XRP. As the support aligns with the lower Bollinger Band, a break below it could open the door to a much deeper decline.

The next major support sits near the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level around $0.83. A drop to this area would put XRP in a difficult position, as the asset would first need to reclaim the $1 psychological level before attempting another move toward the $1.30 region.

However, this task may not be easy. Notably, once a major psychological support level breaks, it often turns into strong resistance. If XRP loses $1, buyers could face another challenge when trying to push the asset back above that mark.

Key Levels XRP Must Reclaim to Recover

To avoid a larger decline, XRP needs to rebound quickly and regain the $1.143 level. This price aligns with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement and represents the first major hurdle for a recovery.

A move above $1.143 could give buyers enough strength to reclaim the middle Bollinger Band, which currently sits at $1.17. If this happens, XRP could then target the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level at $1.21 before making another attempt at the upper Bollinger Band near $1.29.

However, even if the asset moves higher, the resistance between $1.27 and $1.31 could once again stop the rally if buying momentum remains weak. Also, reclaiming this range alone would not fully change the broader market outlook.

For XRP to move out of bearish territory, it must secure a strong close above $1.6. This level stopped the asset’s recovery attempt in mid-March and has remained a major obstacle ever since. Since losing $1.6 during the early February decline, XRP has repeatedly failed to regain it.
