XRP price has fallen back toward $1.36 after failing to hold the $1.40-$1.42 support zone. XRP (XRP) is trading at $1.35. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CaptainAltcoin, with live market data added, as of Mon, 12 Oct 2026 23:00:04 UTC.
The current price action is testing key support levels for XRP, with potential implications for its short-term trend and investor sentiment.
- XRP is down 3.77% in the past 24 hours and 10.27% over the last week.
- The token is approaching its recent October low of $1.3177.
- The broader crypto market is also experiencing a correction.
XRP is experiencing increased selling pressure as the broader cryptocurrency market undergoes a correction. The token has declined by roughly 4% over the past 24 hours, bringing it closer to the $1.3177 support level reached earlier in October.
The price action is particularly notable as XRP failed to maintain its position above the $1.40-$1.42 support zone, which had been a key area of interest for traders. This failure to hold the support level could indicate further downside potential in the near term.
The broader crypto market is also experiencing a downturn, with the total market capitalization dropping to $2.85 trillion. 
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, is down 1.10% in the past 24 hours, contributing to the overall market weakness.
XRP's current price of $1.35 represents a 3.77% decrease over the last day and a 10.27% decline over the past week. The token's market cap now stands at $85.25 billion, reflecting the recent price drop.
Traders and investors will be closely watching to see if XRP can find support around the $1.3177 level or if it will continue to trend lower. The broader market sentiment, as indicated by the Fear & Greed Index at 69 (Greed), suggests that investors remain cautiously optimistic despite the recent downturn.
