XRP sinks below its August low to the weakest level since November 2024

XRP fell below its August low overnight into Saturday and is now at its lowest level since November 2024. On the Bitstamp exchange, the XRP price dropped as low as $0.98336 at around 3 a.m. Central European Time. The previous low for the year, set there on August 14, was $0.98524. Early on Saturday morning XRP was trading at $0.9937 according to CoinGecko, or about €0.90.

The break is small in cents, but it changes the picture. Until Friday, buyers could point to a support level that had held over the summer. Since last night it has gone. According to the data market watchers cite, the next support levels lie much lower, at $0.90 and below. For investors, three things now count: how much leverage a position can withstand in this market, how losses can be used for tax purposes, and which authorised provider to use for any further purchase.

XRP price on Saturday: a daily low of $0.983 on Bitstamp

Saturday's daily candle opened at $1.0098, rose to a high of $1.0122 and then fell within a single hour to $0.98336. The price then recovered to just below the $1 mark. Over 24 hours, CoinGecko shows a loss of 0.9 percent, 14.3 percent over the week and 23.7 percent over 30 days.

XRP's market capitalisation is around $63.1 billion, and coins worth $2.1 billion changed hands in 24 hours. XRP is now 72.7 percent below its record high of $3.65 from July 2025. Over the year the loss is 57 percent.

cryptoticker.io compiled this analysis itself on November 14, 2026. It is based on daily candles from the Bitstamp exchange for the XRP/US dollar pair since February 19, 2024, a total of 1,000 trading days. In that period, XRP last traded below $0.98336 on November 16, 2024, when it fell as low as $0.87855 intraday and closed the same day at $1.12.

August low of $0.985 broken: what has changed since Friday

In Friday evening's article, XRP stood at $1.008. On Friday the price had dipped below $1 for the first time since August, but closed the day on Bitstamp just above it at $1.0097. The summer support was still intact at that point. With the overnight low of $0.98336, it has given way.

In August, the same zone held three times. On August 14 XRP fell to $0.98524, on August 16 it closed at $0.99247, and on August 17 and 18 the daily lows dipped once more to $0.988. Then the market turned: on August 20, XRP closed at $1.268 after the crypto meeting at the White House. No event of that kind is on the calendar for November.

What matters for the coming days is the daily close. A close below $0.99247 would be the lowest on Bitstamp since November 2024. A brief overnight spike changes the picture less than a weekly close below the old level on Sunday evening.

Nine red daily candles in a row: from $1.25 to below $1

XRP closed lower than it opened on Bitstamp for nine days in a row, from November 5 to November 13. Saturday is so far also in the red. U.Today counts the same streak of nine red days. On November 1, XRP still opened at $1.249; on Saturday the price was just below $1. The autumn high on September 23 was $1.657.

A streak like this says nothing about when it will end. It shows that buyers did not gain the upper hand on a single day in the past week and a half. Nor was the decline isolated: bitcoin stood at around $67,100 on Saturday morning and has also had a weak week. The Fear and Greed Index, a crypto market sentiment gauge from 0 to 100, stands at 13, in extreme-fear territory.

XRP liquidations: stop orders speed up the break below old lows

A liquidation is the forced closure of a leveraged position by the exchange once the collateral posted no longer covers the losses. Stop-loss orders and liquidation thresholds cluster below round numbers and old lows. When the level breaks, these orders are triggered almost simultaneously. The selling pushes the price to the next threshold, and the move accelerates. Traders call this a liquidation cascade.

Saturday's candle fits exactly this pattern: the price fell about three cents below the old low within an hour and then came back. A downward wick like this often forms once clustered stop orders have been worked through and sellers are absent for the time being.

XRP ETFs: $1.09 million of outflows on November 13

US exchange-traded XRP funds lost a net $1.09 million on Friday, according to KuCoin News, citing SoSoValue. The Franklin XRP ETF recorded inflows of $4.45 million, while the Grayscale XRP Trust ETF saw outflows of $5.54 million. Assets under management across all spot funds stood at $1.152 billion, with net inflows of $1.789 billion since launch.

Friday's outflow is small. But it extends a week in which the funds provided no support: U.Today cites outflows of $10.42 million on November 9 and $7.62 million on November 10, with no movement on November 11 and 12. According to the same source, fund assets still stood at $1.51 billion on October 28. In the summer, inflows into the funds had supported the price; that demand is currently missing.

Large wallets versus fund outflows: 2,147 addresses with at least one million XRP

On the blockchain, the picture differs from the funds. According to data from the analytics firm Santiment, analysed by U.Today, there were 2,147 wallets holding at least one million XRP on November 13, more than at any other point this year. The number of wallets with at least 10,000 XRP rose by 2,260 within 30 days.

Wallets are addresses on the blockchain, not people. An exchange or custodian can hold many of them, and a single large address can be split into several smaller ones. The figure therefore shows a direction, not proof of purchases by individual large investors. The increase contrasts with the outflows from the funds and explains why the market is reading the situation in different ways.

Bollinger Bands and RSI: why $0.90 is the next support

Bollinger Bands are a price band around a moving average that widens and narrows with volatility. U.Today places the lower band on XRP's weekly chart at $0.90. The price is still above it, which the author takes as a sign that XRP is not in free fall. CoinCentral names the same zone: below the August low there is support between $0.90 and $0.95, followed by another between $0.80 and $0.85.

The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, measures on a scale of 0 to 100 how strong recent gains are compared with losses. Readings below 30 are considered oversold. CoinCentral gave an RSI of 21.52 for November 13. An oversold market can keep falling, but recoveries often start from such positions.

The analyst who posts on X as Ali Charts had named $0.99 as the condition on November 13. If it fails to hold, the correction could widen, towards $0.80 according to CoinCentral. That level has since been breached. For a countermove, CoinCentral cites resistance at $1.05 to $1.10 and at $1.15.

Leverage on XRP: a 10 percent drop is enough at ten-times leverage

Anyone trading XRP with leverage, on an exchange or through a decentralised platform for perpetual futures, had little room this week. At ten-times leverage, a drop of just under 10 percent is enough to wipe out the collateral posted. Because of the maintenance margin every exchange requires, the threshold is even slightly lower. XRP has lost 14.3 percent in seven days. A ten-times leveraged long opened a week ago would almost certainly have been liquidated.

At three-times leverage the threshold is, mathematically, a drop of just over 30 percent; at five-times, just under 20 percent. A stop-loss order set by the trader limits the loss to a chosen level. In a fast candle like Saturday's, however, it is often filled below the desired price.

Buying XRP in the EU: MiCA authorisation and custody of your coins

Since the end of 2025, providers that hold or trade crypto-assets in the EU have needed authorisation under the European MiCA regulation. The transition period for firms already operating has expired. Whether a provider is authorised is shown in the register of the European Securities and Markets Authority, ESMA, and on the provider's own website.

If you want to buy more after a drop like this, look at three points besides authorisation: the fee per purchase, the gap between bid and ask prices, and whether the coins can be transferred to your own wallet. An exchange with low fees and its own XRP/euro trading pair saves noticeably over several small purchases. Which platforms meet these criteria is shown in our comparison of the best crypto exchanges. Buying in instalments spreads the risk that the price keeps falling after you buy across several points in time. It does not rule out a total loss.

XRP below its August low: the next test comes at $0.90

The break of the August low is the most important signal of the week. It will only be confirmed by a daily close below $0.99247. According to Santiment data, whales are still building up holdings, while the funds are providing no tailwind. Three steps help you sort out the situation for your own portfolio:

1. Check your leverage: For open long positions, compare the distance to the liquidation price with the next support at $0.90 and adjust leverage or position size. Buying more without leverage through a regulated crypto exchange with low fees does not carry this risk.
2. Record your purchase dates: Note the purchase date and price of every XRP position, since the tax treatment of a loss depends on the rules where you live. A crypto tax tool keeps this list automatically.
3. Set your levels: Before your next buy or sell, decide on your own levels, for example $0.90 on the downside and $1.05 to $1.10 on the upside, and place orders in advance through an exchange from our comparison instead of trading in a fast overnight candle.
