Ripple (XRP) price slips below $1 as realized losses hit four‑year lows

Ripple’s XRP token fell 22% from May 26 to June 26, trading around $1.03 on June 26 and testing the psychological $1 support level. The Realized Profit/Loss ratio dropped to 0.33, the lowest point in four years, indicating that many holders are selling at a loss. Long liquidations surged to $40.73 million on June 25, the largest since early 2026, while technical indicators—20‑day EMA crossing below the 200‑day EMA and a negative MACD—signal strengthening bearish momentum.

Analysts note that XRP’s consolidation in the $1.12‑$1.30 range lacks clear catalysts, prompting investors to look elsewhere for the 2026 bull run. Coins highlighted as better positioned include meme token Little Pepe (LILPEPE), which has raised over $28 million in its presale, Cardano (ADA) showing oversold momentum near $0.16, and Solana (SOL) trading around $64‑$66 with rising volume and a potential breakout toward $80‑$90.
