$XRP crashing to $1.85 has traders panicking — but zoom out. This drop came as Bitcoin fell to $85,140, dragging the total crypto market cap below $3T. High-cap alts got hit hardest, and $XRP saw a brutal 6.5% daily drop, erasing most of its April–November gains.

The data tells a bigger story: $15M in XRP long positions were liquidated, compared to just $235K in shorts. That’s a classic leverage flush. Price action right now is being driven by technical selling and macro risk-off sentiment, not weak fundamentals.

In fact, institutions are quietly accumulating. Spot XRP ETFs have already seen $400M+ in inflows, even as price bleeds. Analysts point to $1.80–$2.00 as a make-or-break zone. Holding this level could set up a sharp rebound toward $2.05+. A breakdown below $1.80 risks a deeper move to $1.73.

Painful? Yes. Unusual? Not at all in crypto.
