- XRP struggles below resistance as analyst warns of deeper downside
- ChartNerd highlights $0.70 risk if key XRP levels fail
- Bitcoin movement could decide XRP direction amid critical market structure
Crypto analyst ChartNerd has outlined a shift in XRP’s market structure, explaining through a detailed video analysis that the asset now trades below a former support zone that has turned into resistance, while warning that failure to reclaim $1.80 keeps a downside scenario active as broader market conditions remain uncertain.
XRP Struggles Below Key Resistance as Downside Risk Persists
XRP price action continues to reflect increasing technical pressure despite recent recovery attempts, as the asset remains below a key resistance level that previously supported price during late 2025, thereby signaling a shift in structure that has introduced renewed downside risk across the chart.
According to ChartNerd, the possibility of XRP declining toward the $0.80 and $0.70 range remains valid, explaining that failure to reclaim major resistance levels could leave the asset exposed to a deeper correction if current conditions persist.
The chart shows XRP repeatedly interacting with the $1.80 region, which once acted as strong support before being lost during recent declines, and as a result, this level has now flipped into resistance, limiting upward momentum and preventing buyers from establishing control above it.
Moreover, repeated rejections near this resistance zone have weakened bullish momentum over time, while also reinforcing the importance of reclaiming this level before any sustained recovery can take place in the short term.

Additionally, the chart identifies a lower support range between $0.80 and $0.70, which previously acted as a consolidation base before a breakout phase, and consequently, this zone remains a critical downside target if selling pressure continues to build.
Bitcoin Movement Holds the Key to XRP Direction
According to ChartNerd, XRP’s short-term direction remains closely tied to Bitcoin’s performance. He explained that a move toward $78,000 to $80,000 could support a temporary rally toward $1.80.
However, he also noted that a failure in Bitcoin’s structure could trigger a broader decline, and if Bitcoin drops toward $50,000, XRP could follow with increased downside pressure toward lower support levels.
