XRP Price Falls 55% Over Six Months, Longest Streak Since 2014

XRP price is going through a tough stretch right now, and the pressure keeps building. The token has now dropped for six straight months since October 2025, marking its longest monthly losing streak in over a decade.

According to CryptoRank data, XRP has fallen more than 55% during this period, averaging close to 10% losses every month. It’s currently trading around $1.31, showing just how weak the trend has been.

The last time XRP saw a similar run was between December 2013 and June 2014, when it declined for seven months straight with even sharper losses.

XRP Liquidations Surge as Bulls Get Caught

The recent price action has been brutal for traders, especially those betting on a recovery. Data from CoinGlass shows a massive 537% liquidation imbalance, with the broader market seeing around $285 million wiped out.

Long traders took the biggest hit, losing over $3.2 million in just 24 hours. Many were expecting XRP to push toward $1.50 after brief signs of strength, but the price instead stayed stuck between $1.28 and $1.32, failing to hold momentum.

Short traders also saw losses, but they were much smaller at around $500K in comparison.

Weak Recovery Despite Strong Participation

Even with the decline, market activity hasn’t faded. XRP’s trading volume remains strong at around $2.06 billion, suggesting traders are still active and watching for a possible move.

Part of this optimism comes from historical trends. April has often been a positive month for XRP, and some traders are still holding positions, hoping for a breakout.

But so far, the price hasn’t delivered, and expectations continue to fall short.

XRP Q1 Performance Raises Bigger Concerns

Zooming out, the broader picture doesn’t look great either. XRP closed Q1 2026 down 27.1%, making it its worst first-quarter performance since 2018.

Now trading below those levels, the asset risks losing interest if the trend continues, with capital likely shifting toward stronger assets.

What Awaits?

The technical outlook is still weak, especially against Bitcoin. Crypto analyst CasiTrades says

“Now that momentum is kicking in, I’m expecting this to carry into the $1.05–$1.09 range, which is the macro .786 retracement. This would complete a subwave 3 down.”

The price could now move toward the $1.05–$1.09 range, based on retracement levels. A short-term bounce may happen after that, but another dip toward around $0.87 is still expected before the correction is complete.
