XRP faces the risk of falling below US$1, and Bitcoin trading pairs suggest a possible rebound.
As the flagship asset of the Ripple ecosystem, XRP tokens are currently under pressure against the US dollar. Prices have approached the psychological threshold of US$1, highlighting the general caution of investors in a volatile market environment.
The weakness of the US dollar raises concerns
XRP rose sharply in the previous cycle, once exceeding US$3.20. But since then the price trend turned into a long-term decline. By August 2026, XRP was close to the $1.00 mark, raising concerns among traders about the durability of this support level.
Bollinger band indicators observed at the weekly and monthly levels show that XRP prices are hovering near the lower track of the trading range. This suggests that the bearish momentum of trading pairs against the U.S. dollar is increasing.
If the $1.00 support level falls, analysts expect the technical channel to guide prices towards a broader support area-between $0.65 and $0.85. This potential shift could put pressure on short-term holders and increase volatility in the short term.
XRP milestone data
Historical high: above US$3.20
Current level (August 2026): about US$1.00
Key support range: US$0.65 - 0.85
XRP/BTC indicator suggests reversal
Unlike the performance against the US dollar, the price trend of XRP against Bitcoin is sending different signals. On the XRP/BTC chart, recent data suggests seller power may have been exhausted, and the trade is testing a multi-year historical low of 0.0001480 BTC.
In previous contraction cycles, this level has always served as a solid bottom, and even when the market fell sharply, large players prevented XRP from further breaking the position of Bitcoin.
Technical factors further support this view. The XRP/BTC daily chart shows a bullish divergence in the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI), suggesting buying interest is growing. The volume distribution also highlights the existence of a "vacuum zone" above the current price, which means that it is difficult to encounter a large number of sell orders during the upward process.

The closest technical target for a short-term rebound in XRP/BTC is a return to the typical average level, which may bring about an increase of about 28% compared to Bitcoin.
Investor Outlook
As of August 2026, market participants are closely watching Ripple's next move, and macroeconomic headwinds continue to affect the dollar value of the token. While buying XRP in U.S. dollars is risky, analysts believe it could be an opportunity for Bitcoin holders seeking to reallocate assets during a period of relative stagnation.
Ripple is recognized as a technology company focused on developing global payment solutions using blockchain and XRP tokens. XRP is currently near historical lows against Bitcoin, which could make it an attractive short-term alternative in a volatile market environment.
