Token Crashes to Post-Election Low at $1.43 as $1 Target Comes Into View

• XRP falls 4.79% to $1.43, erasing all gains since Trump’s election win as Bitcoin’s decline fuels broad risk aversion across crypto markets.
• Spot outflows reach $32.38 million as the token breaks below the $1.60 demand zone from April’s selloff, leaving limited support until $1.00.
• Recovery requires reclaiming $1.75, while a close below $1.40 confirms continuation toward the psychological $1.00 target.

XRP price today trades near $1.43 after crashing to its lowest level since November 2024, the same month President Trump won the U.S. election on pro-crypto policies. The token has now erased all post-election gains as Bitcoin’s broader decline triggers risk aversion across the entire crypto market.

Post-Election Rally Completely Erased

The Trump election rally that once pushed XRP above $3.50 has been completely reversed. The initial bullish reaction to pro-crypto policy promises peaked at $3.65 in July 2025, but the token has been in a sustained downtrend since.

XRP gained over 150% from November 2024 to July 2025 on expectations of favorable regulatory treatment. Ripple uses XRP to facilitate cross-border transactions, and the prospect of clearer regulations was seen as a major catalyst.

That thesis has collapsed alongside broader crypto weakness. The token has now given back every penny of the election rally, returning to pre-election levels while the promised regulatory clarity remains elusive.

The breakdown below $1.60 is technically significant. That level acted as a demand zone during April’s selloff, representing a price point where buyers previously stepped in with conviction.

With $1.60 broken, analysts see limited technical support until the psychologically important $1.00 level. Options activity on Deribit shows rising demand for downside protection, suggesting traders are positioning for further declines.

Spot Outflows Hit $32 Million As Selling Accelerates

Coinglass data shows $32.38 million in spot outflows on February 5, confirming that holders are reducing exposure rather than accumulating at lower levels. The outflow pattern through January and February shows consistent distribution with no meaningful inflow days.

When spot selling persists during a breakdown of key support, it signals conviction from sellers. The lack of buying interest at $1.60 and now at $1.44 suggests the market has not found a level where demand can absorb supply.

Daily Chart Shows Accelerating Downtrend

On the daily chart, XRP trades well below all four major EMAs within a descending channel that has guided price action since July. The 20 day EMA sits at $1.75, the 50 day at $1.90, the 100 day at $2.06, and the 200 day at $2.22.

The Supertrend indicator remains bearish at $1.79. The gap between current price at $1.43 and the nearest EMA at $1.75 shows how far the market has fallen from any meaningful resistance.

The $1.40 to $1.45 zone highlighted on the chart represents the next support area. A breakdown below this level would confirm acceleration toward $1.00 with minimal technical obstacles in between.

Consolidation Range From Early February Breaks Down

On the 30-minute chart, XRP had formed a consolidation range between $1.50 and $1.70 from February 1 through February 4. That range broke decisively to the downside, triggering the slide to $1.41.

RSI sits at 30.03, entering oversold territory after the breakdown. MACD has turned positive slightly at 0.0022 but the signal lines remain deeply negative, showing the histogram bounce is a pause rather than a reversal.

The consolidation range that failed now becomes resistance. Any recovery attempt would need to reclaim $1.50 to signal stabilization, with the former range high at $1.70 representing the first meaningful resistance zone.

Outlook: Will XRP Go Up?

The trend remains firmly bearish while price trades below all EMAs and the $1.60 support has failed.

• Bullish case: A daily close above $1.75 would reclaim the 20 day EMA and Supertrend level, signaling that $1.40 support is holding. That move requires a shift in broader crypto sentiment and Bitcoin stabilization.
• Bearish case: A close below $1.40 would confirm the breakdown and put the $1.00 psychological level in play. With minimal technical support between current levels and $1.00, that scenario represents a potential 30% further decline.
