The post XRP Price Falls 55% Over Six Months, Longest Streak Since 2014 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

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.

The post Crypto Market Today, Bitcoin and Ethereum Price Drop as US-Israel-Iran War Escalates appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Bitcoin price today faced a sharp setback after a U.S. address in Iran triggered a global risk-off reaction, dragging prices down nearly 6% within hours. The move pushed BTC below the crucial resistance levels, with price now struggling under the $69,000 mark and failing to break the $72,500–$73,000 zone. 

Adding to the uncertainty, markets are heading into a potential liquidity gap over the Good Friday weekend, as CME futures and ETF flows pause, leaving crypto more vulnerable to sudden moves.

How Low Can Bitcoin Price Go?

According to analyst Aaron Dishner, Bitcoin remains under heavy technical pressure. The price is currently sitting below TBO Cloud resistance, with downside targets lined up at $60,000, $49,000, and even $38,555 if selling accelerates. 

I’m still expecting Bitcoin to go a lot lower. I know. I know. You might disagree with me, but don’t worry. There’s actually a chance for you to literally make it all back. If you decided that crap, I bought into this rally.

He suggests the next major drop could resemble January’s weakness, hinting at a broader reset before stability returns.

At the same time, Bitcoin dominance remains weak below certain levels, signaling a lack of a strong push. Meanwhile, stablecoin dominance is rising, often seen when capital moves to safety during uncertain phases.

Ethereum and Altcoins Feeling the Heat

Ethereum price has slightly outperformed Bitcoin in recent sessions, but the outlook remains fragile. The asset is forming a bear flag pattern, with bearish divergence on RSI and repeated rejection against long-term resistance on the ETH/BTC pair.

“Most altcoins remain firmly bearish with only a few exceptions showing short term strength. No clear rebound is expected over the weekend”

Across the altcoin market, the picture remains weak. Major tokens like XRP and Solana are slipping back toward February lows, while others continue to test critical support zones. A few tokens have shown short bursts of strength, but overall momentum remains tilted to the downside.

Crypto Market Outlook 

Beyond crypto, broader markets are flashing mixed signs. The U.S. dollar index has surged and remains strong, while equities closed green but still sit below resistance levels. Oil prices are climbing toward $110, raising concerns of a potential global energy crunch.

Despite safe-haven expectations, gold and silver have pulled back after a sharp rally, adding to the confusion across markets.

With most altcoins still in bearish setups and no clear rebound expected over the weekend, analysts suggest a wait-and-watch approach. Rising volatility in traditional markets could spill back into crypto, making the coming week critical for direction.
