#XRPDropsBelow$1.30OnHeavyVolume
Yep, XRP just slipped under $1.30 on heavy selling pressure.
*What’s happening right now - Jun 2, 2026:*
- *Price*: XRP is trading around $1.26-$1.27, down ∼2.8% today. 24h range: $1.2587 low to $1.3098 high
- *Volume*: It broke $1.30 on high volume. Coinbase shows 24h volume up 57% to $2.31B. MEXC reported 24h volume ∼$42.76M just in the last update.
- *Support break*: $1.30 was a key support zone that held for months. Once it gave way on heavy volume late May 27-28, sellers pushed it down quickly. May 28 drop took XRP to $1.2723, lowest since February eaf4c8e17b6bfdf48625
*Why it’s dropping:*
1. *Key support failed*: $1.30 acted as a floor for weeks. Buyers defended it multiple times, but this time sellers took control
2. *Macro + BTC weakness*: The break coincided with US airstrikes on Iran triggering ∼$1B in crypto liquidations. XRP fell alongside Bitcoin - the two have 0.84 correlation
3. *Sell wall at $1.45*: Nearly 1.16B XRP sits in a “break-even sell wall” near $1.45. ETF inflows of $1.4B this year got absorbed by that supply, keeping price capped $1.30-$1.45 daba862515d0216f
*What traders are watching next:*
- *$1.20-$1.27 zone*: That’s the next support. 443M XRP was accumulated around $1.27. If $1.30 isn’t reclaimed, analysts see $1.10 as next target
- *ETF divergence*: Weird part - XRP ETFs had record inflows in May, strongest month of 2026 with no outflow days. But price still dropped. Means institutional buying is getting matched 1:1 by selling from holders who bought near $1.45 15d08625216f
Heavy volume on a breakdown usually means conviction, not a fakeout. But XRP also tends to overshoot on news then recover - we saw a bounce back toward $1.30 after hitting $1.2931. a2e7fdf4
