- XRP Price Faces Downward Pressure After Failed Recovery Attempt — this brief
XRP's price action has been under pressure after failing to sustain a recent recovery attempt. The cryptocurrency briefly rallied toward $1.39 earlier in the week but was unable to maintain those levels.
This rejection has led to a retreat in XRP's price, which is now hovering around the $1.27-$1.28 range. The failure to break through the $1.40 resistance level suggests that the token may face continued downward pressure in the short term.
The broader crypto market is also experiencing weakness, with the total market cap remaining flat at $2.76 trillion. 
Bitcoin has declined by 0.86% in the past 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral sentiment.
XRP's market cap currently stands at $81.58 billion, with a 24-hour price change of -0.86% and a 7-day change of -0.72%. These figures reflect the recent downturn in the token's price.
The failure to break through the $1.40 resistance level is a key technical indicator to watch. If XRP continues to face selling pressure, it could test lower support levels in the coming days.
