XRP price is slipping again, and the mood across the market isn’t helping. With Nvidia, Walmart, Target, and Home Depot all reporting earnings this week—plus the return of US economic data after the historic 43-day government shutdown—risk sentiment is shaky. Traders are watching every candle with suspicion. In the middle of all this, XRP price has moved into a fragile zone, raising a tough question: is a drop to 0.65 even on the table?
Before jumping into the technicals, it’s worth understanding the backdrop. The shutdown halted key economic reports for more than a month, leaving investors moving blind. As the data pipeline reopens, volatility tends to spike.
Add to that:
This kind of week can easily pressure altcoins. XRP feels that pressure more than most when momentum is already leaning down.
The daily candles tell a clear story: XRP is in a controlled downtrend, but not a freefall.

The mid-band has acted like a ceiling for nearly the entire month. Every attempt to reclaim it has failed, which shows sellers remain in control.
A downward-angled lower band often precedes another leg lower. It signals room for volatility to expand on the downside.
This region is being tested over and over without a convincing rebound. When support becomes a lounge chair instead of a trampoline, breakdowns happen.
The candles are losing body size, with more flat-bottomed reds showing up. That’s a classic continuation signal in Heikin Ashi analysis. The chart is weak. But weak does not automatically mean catastrophic.
0.65 is nowhere near the current structure. To reach that level, XRP price would need to slice through several major supports that haven’t even been threatened on this timeframe.
For a move toward 0.65, you would need:
So while traders often float extreme targets in fear-heavy markets, the chart doesn’t justify a scenario that dramatic.
Based on the current structure, the realistic progression looks closer to this:
A crash straight into 0.65 would require an event far bigger than anything visible on the chart.
XRP needs to prove strength, not hint at it.
A real reversal begins only if:
• It closes a daily candle above the mid-Bollinger band: This would show buyers are finally taking back control.
• It forms two consecutive strong Heikin Ashi green candles: This isn’t happening yet.
• It reclaims the blue moving-average zone: That band has rejected price multiple times. A reclaim would shift the short-term trend.
Until these conditions appear, the bias stays bearish with controlled downside.
The chart points to more downside, but not a collapse to 0.65. $XRP is weak, momentum is fading, and support is slowly eroding. But the structure does not support a multi-level crash that deep unless the entire crypto market enters a panic phase.
For now, the most realistic scenario is a drift toward the lower supports between 2.00 and 1.75, not a meltdown into the 0.60s.
If market conditions worsen after this week’s earnings and economic data flood back, those lower levels become more likely—but 0.65 remains a distant extreme, not an imminent threat.
