XRP is currently trading at $1.43 in a liquidity battle. Weekend business accumulation is between 1.40 and 1.50. A break may cause a gigantic move as sell-side pressure builds.
XRP trades at $1.43, up 2.28% in one hour. The token dropped 2.17% over 24 hours and 12.45% across the past week. Market capitalization stands at $87.15 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
Liquidity battles intensify as traders position for the next major move. Both sides prepare for volatility ahead.
Sell-Side Liquidity Builds Pressure at $1.40
According to ChartNerdTA on X, XRP faces critical liquidity zones. “XRP has both buy and sell side liquidity waiting between $1.50 and $1.40,” the analyst posted. “Either side will get hunted, with sell-side liquidity at $1.40 building the majority of volume over the weekend.”
The weekend trading session shows concentrated selling pressure. Volume clusters near the lower boundary of the range. ChartNerdTA warns a break is imminent.
Traders watch these liquidity pools closely. The side that gets hunted first determines the next directional move.

$1.80 Clearance Required to Avoid Deeper Correction
ChartNerdTA outlined a bearish scenario in another post on X. “Unless XRP clears $1.80, the chance of sweeping to $0.70 remains on the cards,” the analyst stated. “We MUST DEFEND the local wick low ($1.12) with a higher low formation/double bottom.”
Inability to hold $1.12 amplifies downside risk substantially. The target of 0.70 is a reduction of 51% compared with the present levels. Bulls must create support above this critical point.
An above-1.80 clean break nullifies the bearish arrangement. Until this point, the downside risk is the prevailing factor.
ETF Inflows Institutional Support
The total inflows of XRP spot ETF have reached 1.22 billion as of February 6, 2026. According to the SoSoValue data, institutional interest stays high. All these flows provide a bottom support layer to the price action.
Recent price weakness does not stop institutional buying. ETF demand may support the price in volatile periods. The inflow data shows that professional investors are still long-term confident.
