XRP slid through short-term support Wednesday as sellers again showed up near $1.90, keeping the token pinned in a tightening range and pushing attention toward the $1.85 area. News background The move comes as crypto markets remain choppy into the year-end window, when liquidity often thins and positioning tends to dominate price action. Traders have leaned into short-term risk control rather than directional conviction, particularly after recent whipsaw moves across majors. XRP has also been trading against a backdrop of mixed signals from the analyst community. Some chart-watchers have flagged a rising wedge structure that could pressure price lower if support continues to erode, while others point to RSI divergence patterns that often appear near local exhaustion points. That split has kept conviction low and strengthened the market’s tendency to fade rallies near obvious resistance.

On the intraday view, the break from roughly $1.878 down to the mid-$1.86s occurred with repeated volume spikes, including a 2.7 million burst during the $1.867–$1.865 slide, reinforcing that the breakdown was flow-driven, not just drift.
