XRP Prints Lower Highs, Volume Spikes to 169M in Sharp Reversal
0Price action accelerated at 14:00 when XRP fell from $3.04 to $2.97 on a 169.41 million volume surge — over 3x its 24-hour average of 52.73 million — establishing $3.04 as interim resistance and validating $2.93 as a local support floor.
Traders brace for continued downside as resistance caps at $3.04 and $2.93 floor emerges following 169M volume flush.
XRP fell 4.2% during the 24-hour session ending August 6 at 02:00, retreating from $3.06 to $2.93 in a volume-driven breakdown. The session’s high of $3.08 was hit at 10:00 before a sharp reversal set in. Price action accelerated at 14:00 when XRP fell from $3.04 to $2.97 on a 169.41 million volume surge — over 3x its 24-hour average of 52.73 million — establishing $3.04 as interim resistance and validating $2.93 as a local support floor, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data.
Final-hour price action confirmed bearish control. XRP slid 1% from $2.94 to $2.92 between 01:15 and 02:14, completing a high-volatility session that saw a $0.13 swing, or 4.2% intraday range. A late 02:11 volume burst of 1.6 million sealed the decline as the token printed fresh intraday lows.
Price structure confirms rejection at $3.04 with immediate downside to $2.93 on above-average volume. The breach of short-term moving averages and failure to sustain above $3.00 point to continuation risk. Volume spikes during key selloff windows support the bearish bias.
Volatility remains elevated with no clear reversal signals printed. If $2.92 fails, next support zones lie near $2.87 and $2.80 based on historical volume nodes.
