XRP Drops Key 2026 Support but Is Not Finished Yet

XRP fell below its 200-day moving average for the first time since August 2026, reaching a low of $1.19. The drop followed a $300 million XRP theft from Binance and economic data releases. Traders watch for support at the 50-week moving average, with potential targets at $1, $0.98, or $1.70. Binance allocated $6.34 billion to buy XRP and other cryptocurrencies, achieving 100% reserve backing for XRP.
