During Monday’s cryptocurrency session, XRP dipped below the key psychological support of $2.00 amid increased selling pressure. The token experienced a surge in volume, reaching 149.1 million, more than double its average daily turnover, suggesting active participation from institutional investors. This sell-off was followed by a partial recovery, with prices stabilizing near $2.02.

The price decline included consecutive lower highs, signaling weakening momentum. Attempts to rebound were met with resistance in the $2.05 to $2.07 range, which prevented XRP from regaining upward momentum. Despite the dip, repeated support at the $2.00 level has prevented further declines.

Momentum indicators exhibit a neutral-to-bearish stance, reflecting reduced strength in rallies toward overhead resistance. However, the absence of strong downside follow-through below $1.99 suggests that selling pressure might be softening. Traders face a decisive technical scenario: a close above $2.05 could lead to a bullish continuation, whereas a drop below $2.00 would open potential decline targets around $1.95 and $1.90.

Within the session, XRP traded within an approximately 8-cent range, with the most significant drop occurring at 15:00 UTC as volume spiked 103% above average. This sudden increase pushed the price from $2.04 down to $1.99 before buyers re-entered, pushing it back toward $2.023. Hourly price data indicates a contraction near $2.02 and reduced volatility, highlighting that a notable price movement may be imminent.

Key price levels to watch include the critical $2.00 support, which has seen multiple defenses, and the $2.05–$2.07 resistance that must be cleared to shift momentum. Institutional sell volume remains elevated, so recovery moves need to match this intensity to be sustained. Consolidation at $2.02 suggests traders should monitor for breakout direction within the next 24 to 48 hours.
