Traders are watching $1.40 support after high-volume selling confirmed continued bearish structure. What to know : XRP fell 3.3 percent to $1.4108 after another failed attempt to break above the $1.43 to $1.45 resistance zone, with a late-session drop below $1.411 confirming short-term downside momentum. Trading volume spiked 74 percent above average during the sell-off, underscoring that sellers remain in control even as spot ETFs and large on-chain wallets continue to add to XRP positions.
