It seems like the XRP rally has lost some momentum. Over the last day, the price dropped from around $3.19 to $3.14—that’s about a 2% dip. Earlier in the day, it briefly reached $3.32, but the sellers quickly put an end to that momentum. A lot of people seem to have used that high to cash out some gains.
$ETH has been performing beautifully lately, but might be time for $XRP to take charge again soon…

This all comes right after Ripple and the SEC finally ended their nearly five-year legal drama. Both sides dropped their appeals, which means no more courtroom cliffhangers for XRP—and at first, that was huge. Trading volume exploded by over 200% to about $12.4 billion. But once the excitement wore off, bigger players started selling around that $3.27–$3.32 range.
Still, XRP didn’t totally fall apart. It found support at $3.13—even when things got heavy around 7 p.m. as it dropped from $3.20 to $3.15 within an hour, with nearly 74 million XRP traded. By the end of the session, buyers showed up again, nudging it back to $3.14.
Even with the pullback, XRP’s in a better spot than a lot of other coins right now thanks to the regulatory clarity. But the bigger picture? Global trade issues and whatever central banks decide to do next can still swing crypto prices in a heartbeat.

Conclusion
This drop doesn’t really feel like panic—more like traders catching their breath. If $3.13 keeps holding and XRP can punch through $3.27, we might see another move up. For now, it’s more of a waiting game.
