A price zone that held as a floor throughout all of 2025 is now blocking XRP from recovering. The $1.80 level \u2014 once a reliable support \u2014 flipped to resistance in January 2026, and the token has not come close to reclaiming it since. Until it does, one analyst says XRP remains \u201cin deep trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Channel Break That Changed Everything<\/h2>\n

For most of last year, XRP<\/a> traded inside a large parallel channel with a ceiling near $3.45 and a floor around $1.80. The token stayed within those boundaries even as its price started slipping after hitting an all-time high of $3.60 in July 2025. Lower highs and lower lows piled up through the fourth quarter, but $1.80 held.<\/p>\n

Then January came. XRP closed the month below that level for the first time, and it has not looked back. The $1.80 floor became a ceiling, and every attempt to push higher has run into that wall.<\/p>\n

\n

If I zoom out, I still see $XRP<\/a> in deep trouble.<\/p>\n

It is clearly downtrending with a series of lower lows and lower highs, and above all, it is still below that key level at $1.80.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Analyst Sjuul of the AltCryptoGems channel laid out the situation in a recent market breakdown. Zooming out to the daily chart, he pointed to the pattern of lower lows and lower highs that has defined XRP\u2019s price action<\/a> since the July peak \u2014 a structure that leaves the broader downtrend fully intact regardless of short-term bounces.<\/p>\n

A 15% Rally That Still Went Nowhere<\/h2>\n

XRP did manage a stretch of gains between March 9 and 16 \u2014 seven up days out of eight, its best run since September 2025. The token climbed 15% during that window, reclaiming $1.50 and closing at $1.54 on March 16.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But the rally stalled almost immediately. A push toward $1.60 ran into resistance at $1.6074 earlier this week, and XRP has since pulled back on three consecutive days, now trading around $1.46. The recovery, impressive as it briefly looked, never came anywhere near $1.80.<\/p>\n

For context, XRP had dropped to $1.27 on February 28 during the initial market reaction to the Israel-Iran conflict before clawing back above $1.50. The March rally was largely a rebound from that low \u2014 not a trend reversal.<\/p>\n

Two Scenarios, One Number<\/p>\n

Sjuul sees the path forward as straightforward. XRP either reclaims $1.80 and pushes back inside the parallel channel \u2014 invalidating the bearish setup \u2014 or it doesn\u2019t, and the downside risk grows sharply.<\/p>\n

The level he flags on the downside is the $1.20 to $1.30 zone. That area offered no resistance during XRP\u2019s explosive November 2024 rally, which is what analysts call a \u201cno support zone\u201d \u2014 a price range the market blew through so fast that few buyers established positions there.<\/p>\n

Since that rally, the zone has acted as a cushion during dips. If $1.80 continues to hold as resistance, Sjuul suggests XRP could fall back toward that range.<\/p>\n
