XRP Marks Ninth Straight Daily Loss as Selloff Deepens

Ninth Straight Red Close

XRP has now posted nine consecutive daily losses, a run that began on November 5 and carried the token under the $1 line. The XRP price touched a low of $0.972 in the early Saturday session and has not regained the dollar level since. At 14:50 UTC it changed hands near $0.986; our live read now has it at $0.977, down 0.6% since and 4.3% over 24 hours. If Saturday also closes red, the streak reaches ten straight down days, the longest such run since the start of 2026. Each of the nine losses has come in modest increments, but their sum has moved the token from solidly above $1 to just over two percent below it.

The pressure has been macro as much as crypto. The dollar index, a gauge of the U.S. currency against major peers, closed Friday at its highest level since April 2025 after this week's inflation readings came in hotter than expected. Hotter inflation keeps expectations for rate cuts in check, which supports the dollar and weighs on assets priced in it. Leadership turmoil at Nvidia Corp. added pressure on the artificial intelligence trade at the same time, and the resulting loss of risk appetite spread across the altcoin market and broader Web3 assets.

On the daily candlestick chart, every close since November 5 has been red. The token is down nearly 16% over the past seven days and more than 30% across seven weeks, so the current streak sits inside a wider repricing rather than a single sharp break. Market capitalization, which pairs price with circulating supply, has taken the hit, and the slide has also put XRP's place among the market's top five assets under review. What decides the next stage is where the price settles against $1 and whether the largest holders keep adding.

Shark Wallets Grow as the Rank Slips

This weekend's XRP coverage has centered on a ranking change that is now concrete. Market data puts XRP sixth among cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, below the USDC stablecoin, with a valuation of $62.72 billion at the last count. The 16% weekly decline is what carried the valuation below the token it displaced. The wallet side of the ledger points the other way. Wallet data shows the count of addresses holding 10,000 or more XRP has climbed to roughly 343,500, an increase of 16,815, or 5.15%, across nine months, with the pace picking up through November. That growth runs against a price that has lost more than 30% in seven weeks, and the gap between the two series is a positive divergence: larger holders are using the drawdown to build positions rather than exit. Accumulation of this kind does not set a floor by itself, but it records who is on the other side of the sellers.

The price structure around the divergence is straightforward. $1.00 is the level to defend. If the shark cohort keeps expanding while Bitcoin stabilizes, a quick reclaim of $1.10 to $1.15 becomes the realistic upside path. If the wallet growth instead reverses while the price stays under $1, the same cohort's retreat would likely deepen the selling before any bounce, with $0.77, last visited in October 2025, as the downside marker. Supply mechanics add a near-term variable: Ripple is scheduled to release 1 billion XRP from escrow on December 1, and scheduled supply lands harder during a drawdown than in a rising market. The token also trades below its 20, 50 and 200-day moving averages, so trend filters, not the accumulation series, currently control the tape.

Positioning data frames the risk from here. COINOTAG's composite scoring puts the $1.0526 resistance at 84 out of 100, the strongest barrier overhead, while the deepest support sits at $0.7826, scored 47 out of 100 and well below the market. Funding on the perpetual reads -0.0011%, so shorts pay longs on the marginal trade, while the long/short account ratio stands at 3.59 with 78.2% of accounts long. A book tilted that far leaves both sides exposed to forced liquidation if either level gives way. The nine-day streak stays intact until a daily close clears $1.0526; a break under $0.7826 would extend it. Fuller level work sits in our XRP technical analysis.
