On-Chain Distribution Creates Resistance Ladder for XRP Below the Two-Dollar Mark
On-chain data indicates a significant portion of XRP's invested capital remains underwater, forming overhead resistance as the asset trades near $1.26.
XRP traded near $1.26 after declining roughly 11% over a week, falling from a high of $1.42 on September 15. The coin’s market capitalization decreased by 8.25% to $79.75 billion, while 24-hour trading volume expanded 19.26% to $5.97 billion, reflecting heightened market activity.
On-chain metrics from CoinMarketCap indicate that roughly three-quarters of the capital invested in XRP was committed at prices above $2. Realized capitalization figures show an average holder cost basis of approximately $1.48, leaving about 60% of the circulating supply currently at an unrealized loss. Much of the capital acquired above $2 entered the network between November 2024 and March 2026, leaving those positions between 37% and 56% underwater.
Technical resistance has formed across several price tiers following XRP's rally from its August 18 low of $0.99 to an August 22 peak of $1.66. Sell orders have accumulated along a ladder encompassing $1.41, $1.47, $1.55, $1.66, $1.86, and $2.00. Santiment data reveals that market participants who bought at lower price points earlier in the year distributed coins during the August rally, leaving supply concentrated above $1.66.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
