<p>The analyst said XRP’s 30-day liquidity index on Binance fell to about 0.043 while the token traded near $1.34.</p>
<p>The reading points to a sharp fall in available liquidity compared with earlier market phases. Arab Chain <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/quicktake/6a13d149f2609c4353777b40-XRP-Liquidity-on-Binance-Falls-to-Its-Lowest-Level-Since-January-2020" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> the index had previously reached readings above 3 and 4 points between 2022 and 2024, when XRP saw stronger trading activity and higher volatility.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-xrp-binance-liquidity-falls-to-a-six-year-low-strong"><strong>XRP Binance liquidity falls to a six-year low</strong></h2>
<p>Low liquidity does not give a direct bullish or bearish signal on its own. However, thinner market depth can make XRP more sensitive to large orders because fewer bids and asks sit near the current price.</p>

<p>That means sudden buying or selling can move price faster than usual. For traders, the current setup creates a market where volatility can rise even if daily volume remains modest.</p>
<p>The drop also signals weaker speculative activity on Binance. Arab Chain said the decline may show reduced new liquidity inflows and a more cautious market structure.</p>
<p>The update comes as XRP remains stuck near the same range it has traded around for months. The $1.35–$1.40 area now carries added focus because it connects thin liquidity with repeated whale activity.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-binance-whales-withdraw-xrp-near-1-35-strong"><strong>Binance whales withdraw XRP near $1.35</strong></h2>
<p>CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/quicktake/6a12de55f2609c4353777a40-XRP-Whales-Withdraw-49M-From-Binance-as-Price-Returns-to-FebruaryMarch-Accumulat" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> that XRP whales withdrew $49.2 million from Binance on May 22 while the token traded below $1.35. In exchange-flow terms, negative whale netflow means large holders moved more XRP away from Binance than they sent in.</p>
<p>That move matters because it happened during price weakness, not after a strong rally. Whale withdrawals during weakness can show that some large holders are reducing available exchange supply instead of preparing to sell.</p>

<p>The May 22 reading also followed similar whale behavior earlier this year. Taha cited negative Binance whale netflows of $60.7 million on Feb. 27, $35.5 million on March 6, and $37 million on March 26.</p>
<p>All four signals appeared near the $1.35–$1.40 range. That makes the zone one of the clearest recent areas of repeated Binance whale withdrawals.</p>
<p>Still, whale withdrawals do not confirm an immediate rebound. They can reduce potential sell-side supply, but price still needs stronger demand and a clean technical breakout.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-xrp-price-stays-below-key-moving-averages-strong"><strong>XRP price stays below key moving averages</strong></h2>
<p>XRP traded at $1.36 on May 25, 2026, <a href="https://crypto.news/price/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according</a> to crypto.news price data. The token was up 0.23% over 24 hours, while its 24-hour trading volume stood at about $1.35 billion.</p>
<p>The same data showed XRP trading between $1.34 and $1.37 over the past 24 hours. XRP ranked fifth by market cap, with a market value of about $84.23 billion.</p>
<p>The short-term chart remains weak. XRP traded near $1.3584, below the 9-day moving average at $1.3663 and the 21-day moving average at $1.4051.</p>
<p>That structure keeps pressure on buyers unless XRP reclaims the $1.36–$1.40 area. The shorter moving average also remains below the longer one, which keeps the near-term trend neutral-to-bearish.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1024" height="627" src="https://media.crypto.news/2026/05/image-189-1024x627.webp" alt="XRP price chart, source: crypto.news">

<p>Immediate support sits near $1.3435, close to the daily low. Resistance stands near $1.3663, followed by the larger $1.4051–$1.4060 zone.</p>
<p>Volume near 29.06 million XRP remains low compared with earlier selloff spikes. That shows the latest bounce has not yet drawn strong market participation.</p>
<p>The MACD also remains below the zero line. The MACD reading near -0.0150, signal line near -0.0066, and negative histogram near -0.0084 show weak bearish momentum.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-traders-watch-1-40-and-1-50-resistance-strong"><strong>Traders watch $1.40 and $1.50 resistance</strong></h2>
<p>Related crypto.news coverage <a href="https://crypto.news/xrp-selling-pressure-fades-but-1-50-still-blocks-bulls/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> XRP recently traded near $1.37 as exchange-flow data showed cooling deposit pressure. The same report said Binance and Coinbase had shifted toward withdrawal-led transactions, which may show easing exchange selling pressure. XRP stayed within a range, with support near $1.29–$1.35 and resistance near $1.50.</p>
<p>Separate crypto.news coverage <a href="https://crypto.news/xrp-whale-collects-224500-on-low-volatility-bet/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">showed</a> a large XRP options trader collected $224,500 in premiums by betting XRP would stay near $1.40 through June 26. The trader sold 1.5 million contracts each of the $1.40 call and put options on Deribit.</p>
<p>That options trade fits the wider range-bound setup. Crypto.news noted that XRP had traded between $1.30 and $1.50 for roughly 60% of 2026, making the $1.40 area a key short-term price zone.</p>
<p>Crypto Patel also cautioned against aggressive upside targets without enough liquidity, structure, or a clear catalyst map. The analyst said $10 remains a long-run target, while the best accumulation area sits between $1 and $0.70.</p>
