XRP Price Today: Ripple Drops to $1.38 After Failing to Hold $1.41 Open – Key Support at Risk
Tech XRP Price Today: Ripple Drops to $1.38 After Failing to Hold $1.41 Open – Key Support at Risk XRP is trading near $1.38 on May 8, 2026, after one of the more methodical sell sessions the token has seen this month. No sharp flush, no panic wick. Just a slow, consistent grind from the $1.4154 open down toward the session low near $1.375, with barely any attempt at recovery along the way. That kind of price action tells you something specific: sellers are in control and buyers are not convinced enough to step in yet. What the Chart Looked Like XRP opened the 24-hour session at $1.4154 and briefly pushed toward $1.42 in the first few minutes. That was the top. From 11:00 AM onwards, the sell-off started. It was not aggressive. Price drifted from $1.415 to $1.410, then to $1.40, then kept going. By 6:00 PM it was below $1.40. By midnight it was near $1.39. The Asian session brought another leg down to a low around $1.375, and XRP has since stabilized near $1.38 with no meaningful bounce to show for it. Volume was average throughout, which rules out a liquidation cascade. This was orderly selling, probably a mix of profit-taking from last weeks
