Despite the drop, late-session buying hints at renewed accumulation from large holders as selling pressure eased.
XRP fell sharply in the last 24 hours as large-scale liquidations swept through the market, pushing the token to its lowest levels in over a week before signs of stabilization emerged.
The move saw over $1 billion in market-wide liquidations and record intraday selling volume, testing critical institutional support near $3.05. Despite the drop, late-session buying hints at renewed accumulation from large holders as selling pressure eased.
News Background
- Market-wide liquidations exceeded $1 billion, amplifying downside pressure across major cryptocurrencies.
- XRP’s selloff coincided with a midday capitulation event, with volume reaching 436.98 million units — one of the largest single-hour prints this quarter.
- Ripple’s CTO reiterated the XRP Ledger’s readiness for global financial infrastructure use, offering fundamental support amid technical weakness.
- Broader crypto market declines aligned with profit-taking in U.S. equities, shifting risk sentiment to the downside.
Price Action Summary
- XRP dropped from $3.34 to $3.10 in the 24 hours from Aug. 14 03:00 to Aug. 15 02:00 (-7.19%).
- Session range spanned $3.34 to $3.05, a $0.29 move representing 8.69% volatility.
- The steepest decline occurred at 12:00, with price falling from $3.22 to $3.09 on heavy volume.
- Following the drop, XRP traded in a narrow $3.05–$3.13 band, signaling reduced sell-side momentum.

Technical Analysis
- Support confirmed between $3.05–$3.09 on multiple retests during high-volume selling.

- Declining volume after the midday spike suggests liquidation exhaustion.
- Final 60 minutes saw two notable volume surges — 4.53M and 3.76M — confirming institutional interest at support.
- Recovery above $3.10 in low-liquidity conditions may indicate early-stage re-accumulation.
