Today's session in the cryptocurrency market is under clear selling pressure. XRP has dropped to around 1.95 USD, recording nearly 5% losses over the day. Importantly, this decline is not due to issues with the Ripple project itself, but rather a market reaction to macroeconomic and geopolitical events.

Risk-off moods hit cryptocurrencies

The main catalyst for the movement was the information about new tariffs announced by Donald Trump regarding several European countries in the context of the Greenland dispute. Such headlines quickly change investor sentiment to defensive mode.

In such conditions, capital flows out of assets deemed risky, and cryptocurrencies – especially altcoins – react the strongest. XRP, despite the lack of negative fundamental information, found itself under pressure along with the entire market.

Liquidations of positions and correlation with Bitcoin

The decline was further reinforced by the liquidation of leveraged positions, which triggered a domino effect. As Bitcoin began to lose stability, altcoins – including XRP – fell faster due to lower liquidity and higher volatility.

It is estimated that in a short time, positions worth over 500 million USD were liquidated in the market, which clearly shows that we were dealing with a classic panic move, rather than a controlled technical correction.

Lack of a catalyst on the XRP side

Analysts point out that XRP has not received a new, strong bullish impulse in recent days that could balance macro pressure. The lack of fresh information about ETFs or further regulatory breakthroughs means that in moments of fear, the token is sold faster than it is bought.

However, this does not mean a deterioration of the project's fundamentals. The current move looks more like a short-term market reaction than a change in the long-term trend.

What next?

If geopolitical tensions weaken, and market sentiment calms, XRP may find support again along with the entire cryptocurrency market. Today's decline fits into a broader 'risk-off' pattern, rather than specific problems for Ripple.

As always in such moments, the key factors are:

behavior of Bitcoin,

macro situation,

inflow or outflow of liquidity from the market.

It was a typical day where political headlines mattered more than charts.
