Weak On-Chain Signals Raise Risk of a Move Toward $1.00"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The XRP price is facing renewed selling pressure, even as Ripple announces another step toward deeper institutional integration with the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The token is trading near $1.42, down more than 10% over the past 24 hours, as market participants focus less on corporate developments and more on weakening technical and on-chain signals. The divergence shows a familiar pattern in the markets, positive infrastructure news does not always translate into price support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The latest drop accelerated after XRP slipped below $1.60, a level that had previously served as short-term support. Once that floor gave way, automated selling and stop-loss orders appear to have intensified the move, pushing prices closer to levels not seen since the last broader market pullback.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-879857 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/XRPUSD_2026-02-05_13-43-58.png?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C603\" alt=\"XRP XPRUSD XRP price XRPUSD_2026-02-05_13-43-58\" width=\"860\" height=\"603\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>XRP Price Slides as Key Support Breaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Technical indicators suggest the sell-off has been sharp. The Relative Strength Index is approaching oversold territory, reflecting strong downside momentum rather than a slow grind lower. Trading volumes have also picked up during the decline, a sign that sellers are acting with conviction rather than hesitation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On-chain data adds to the cautious outlook. Recent metrics show reduced <a href=\"https:\/\/xrpl.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">network activity<\/a> and limited evidence of sustained accumulation at current levels. In previous corrections, XRP price often stabilized when wallet activity and transaction counts began to rise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the price fails to reclaim $1.60, analysts increasingly point to the $1.00 psychological level as the next area to watch. While oversold conditions can sometimes trigger short-term bounces, the broader structure suggests XRP remains vulnerable unless sentiment improves.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ripple\u2019s Hyperliquid Integration Fails to Lift XRP<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The price weakness comes despite Ripple announcing that its institutional prime brokerage arm, <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/xrp-news-ripple-prime-adds-150204087.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ripple Prime<\/a>, has added support for Hyperliquid, a decentralized derivatives platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The integration allows institutional clients to access on-chain perpetual futures while cross-margining those positions with assets such as foreign exchange, fixed income, and other digital assets through a single account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Market reaction has been mixed. While the move underscores Ripple\u2019s push to bridge traditional finance and DeFi, it does not create a direct new demand driver for XRP itself. Some investors had hoped Ripple would prioritize deeper integration of the XRP Ledger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diverging Signals Across the Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The contrast is clear elsewhere. Hyperliquid\u2019s native token, HYPE, has shown relative strength following the integration news, trading above key moving averages even as the broader market weakens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">That divergence suggests capital is flowing toward platforms tied to institutional trading activity, rather than toward legacy large-cap tokens facing technical breakdowns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">For now, XRP\u2019s trajectory appears driven more by market structure and on-chain signals than by Ripple\u2019s expanding institutional footprint. Until buyers step in decisively, the risk of a deeper XRP price move toward $1.00 remains on the table.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cover image from ChatGPT, XRPUSD chart on Tradingview<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The XRP price is facing renewed selling pressure, even as Ripple announces another step toward deeper institutional integration with the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
