XRP at Risk: Analysts Warn a Possible Drop to $1.50

This article was first published on The Bit Journal.

Just recently, the $XRP price fell under its crucial $2.20 mark after a “death cross,” depicted when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day, triggering new concerns of a sell-off turning more severe. 

This development has taken place even as investors continue to flood into new spot-XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange reserves shrink, setting up a tangled mix of accumulation scenarios versus technical pressure.

With on-chain data indicating decreasing liquidity on top exchanges, while chart patterns are once again turning red, the next few weeks could determine whether $XRP holds onto recent gains or falls toward heavier support.

Macro Signals: ETFs, Exchange Reserves and Technical Crackdown

In the past few weeks, institutional interest in XRP has increased. Spot-XRP ETFs offered by issuers including Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, Canary Capital and others have taken in hundreds of millions of dollars in XRP assets. 

Four active ETFs gathered net inflows of $644 million in a little more than a week, an analysis showed.

At the same time, exchange-level supply seems to be drying up. The amount of $XRP held on Binance as of late November has declined to 2.71 billion, the lowest in a year according to data provided by crypto-analytics firms. 

According to raw figures, 300 million XRP fled Binance since early October.

There is more discouraging news on the technical front.

 After breaking a key support, $XRP’s price closed below $2.20 and flashed the “death cross” pattern, which could send its price to the downside. 

The breakdown validated a failure at resistance at approximately $2.23-$2.24. Momentum indicators like RSI and MACD are weak, price is below major moving averages, the 50-day average is headed lower, all signs that accompany sustained selling pressure.

In brief, Institutional demand + falling exchange liquidity + bearish chart structure = a tight stand-off for XRP’s price outlook.

XRP Price Outlook by Experts 

Here is a summary of the expert predictions and analytical prognosis during late November 2025 for XRP:

These expected ranges are just as varied. From possible deep retracement back towards $1.50, to rallying up to previous areas of resistance should supply-siders supply and institutional interest flushes through into strength in spot pricing. 

The split shows that technical momentum and liquidity dynamics are making XRP price outlook particularly sensitive.

Three Possible Cases: Bear, Base and Bull

Bear Case – Fall toward $1.50

In the event of the recent death cross, if selling pressure continues, $XRP could tumble to test the next major support region around $1.80- $1.50. 

That course would likely play out if ETF inflows cool, opposing exchange-reserve drawdown stalls or reverses, and overall crypto markets stay risk-off. 

In this case, supply continues to be abundant and momentum is still negative, a classic breakdown.

Base Case - Stabilization and Chop around $1.90-$2.10

XRP might stabilize around the $1.90-$2.10 area. Here, ETF demand and the shrinkage of exchange supply keep the price from falling; however, technical weakness and overall market softness prohibit a quick break. 

Price action is still range-bound until a clear catalyst arrives, such as more ETF accumulation, positive news on the macro front or a change in market sentiment.

Bull Case – Supply-Shock Rally to $2.60-$2.70 (Or Higher)

If the buying from institutions persists and exchange reserves trend lower, a supply-shock rally in $XRP is possible. 

In the best-case scenario, if tokens are locked in ETFs or private wallets, it will reduce circulation supply, and only a very modest increase in fiat demand could drive the price closer to the resistance areas at $2.60 – 2.70. 

Momentum would pick up on a break back through resistance at $2.24 and clean reclaim of important moving averages. 

The on-going ETF growth may just crimp supply even closer, potentially seen as a way back to pre-summit levels above $3.00 in 2026.

These three scenarios will largely be dependent upon adoption dynamics and wider market conditions. However, all three are now on the cards,  reinforcing how more explosive moves may await XRP.

Conclusion

The current $XRP price outlook is a battle. An on chain supply squeeze and institutional demand for ETFs versus bearish technical pressure. 

While some market participants caution of a break below $1.50, others stress how diminishing trading volumes could encourage a supply-shock rally toward $2.60 or higher.

The next couple of weeks could very well determine the path whether ETF inflows and accumulation continue to constrict supplies, or technical softness and market trends overpower buying interest. 

Glossary

Death cross: A bearish chart pattern in which a short-term moving average (such as the 50-day) crosses below a long-term moving average (such as the 200-day), often indicating further downside risk.

Exchange reserves: The sum of crypto held on centralized exchanges; a decline indicates tokens are being withdrawn to private wallets or long-term storage.

Spot ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund): A regulated fund that holds the real asset, giving investors exposure without the need to directly own the crypto; it could have an impact on supply if holdings are withheld.

Supply shock: A sudden increase in demand or a sudden tightness in supply, which could result in price increases, particularly if the circulating supply decreases faster than the buying.

Liquidity risk / pressure: A circumstance where reduced trading volume or available supply makes an asset price more volatile  small trades have large impacts on the price.

Frequently Asked Questions About Current XRP Price Outlook 

Is $1.50 the worst XRP can do?

The combination of current technical signals and the analysis from experts indicated that if bearish momentum does not abate and support at $2.20 fails, a breakdown to $1.50 is the downside risk.

What are analysts thinking about $XRP going back to $2.60-$2.70 

Diminishing exchange reserves, a 12-month low at the moment and exchange-traded products, or ETPs, soaking up enormous quantities of XRP make for a supply squeeze. That may set the stage for a rally to former resistance levels, assuming demand remains steady.

Are ETFs bullish or bearish?

ETFs represent institutional and long-term holders, which is a natural suppressor of liquid supply. That is typically bullish. But spot-price reaction may be delayed if ETFs are taking coins off-exchange rather than purchasing on the open market. Timing and market sentiment do matter, however.

What are the price targets to look out for now?

Keep a close eye on the $2.20-$2.24 area. If $XRP reclaims that with decent volume, the market could see a bounce to around $2.60. On a breakdown, potential downside figures to watch would be $1.90 and then $1.50.
