3 Bearish Signs Suggest XRP May Be Headed Below $1

XRP’s (XRP) price has declined nearly 10% since last Wednesday as macroeconomic pressures continue to weigh on the broader cryptocurrency market.

Notably, three key patterns that last appeared in 2022 have resurfaced, fueling concerns that XRP could slip below the $1 level.

3 Historical Parallels Signal Growing Risk for XRP

First, Glassnode’s data indicates that investors active in the 1-week to 1-month range are now accumulating at prices below the cost basis of the 6-month to 12-month holders. This shows that newer market participants are gaining exposure at more favorable levels.

As this imbalance persists, psychological pressure continues to build on investors who bought near highs. Glassnode warns that these “top buyers” may face increasing stress over time. This pattern mirrors the structure observed in February 2022.

Secondly, the ongoing decline in volume alongside falling prices closely mirrors the market behavior observed during the 2021–2022 period.

This combination suggests that XRP’s recent price weakness has not attracted meaningful dip-buying interest. It indicates a lack of conviction among market participants. This same pattern preceded the February 2022 sell-off.

Lastly, technical signals highlight added risks. A comparison of the Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) histogram structure between the 2025–2026 period and the 2021–2022 cycle reveals a closely matching momentum pattern.

Thus, the data suggests that XRP could fall by 45% if it breaks the $1.8-$ 1.9 support zone. Such a breakdown would push the price below $1, crossing a vital psychological and technical threshold for XRP.

Meanwhile, BeInCrypto’s analysis suggests that XRP is at a make-or-break moment. The price is forming a potential inverse head-and-shoulders pattern.

This turns bullish only if XRP reclaims the 100-day EMA above $2.24 and breaks the $2.48–$2.52 neckline zone. If confirmed, the setup implies a possible 33% upside.

Furthermore, some market participants believe a rally could be developing for XRP. An on-chain crypto analyst noted that XRP’s CME daily trend retest has been completed and the 4-hour CME gap has been filled.

According to the analyst, these conditions may set the stage for a decoupling move, potentially allowing XRP to stage a solid rally from current levels.

In the weeks ahead, traders will be watching closely to see whether the 2022 pattern plays out. For now, both technical and on-chain signals, alongside broader market conditions, point toward a cautious outlook as XRP navigates this critical phase.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark.

Third, the instance model, once a smart…
