XRP price declined 0.81% in the past 24 hours, settling near $1.33 as bearish pressure resurfaced across altcoins. The token failed to defend the $1.40 support zone, prompting a fresh technical breakdown.
The weakness experienced on other cryptocurrencies has been exacerbated by broader market consolidations. Bitcoin price dropped to under $67,000, and Ethereum price to under $2,000, following a short-lived recovery attempt.
CLARITY Act Stalls Over Stablecoin Yield Disagreement
Lawmakers have renewed discussions around the proposed CLARITY Act, which seeks to define crypto oversight in the United States. The bill seeks to define which power goes where between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Various controversial provisions still stand without full committee approval. The scope of the regulations, enforcement authorities as well as compliance levels remain controversial among policy makers.
The biggest challenge is the regulation of rules that control stablecoin yield programmes. The industry players say that the debate on reward mechanisms has paralyzed the legislative progress over a period of over a year.
Although the White House and multiple senators have expressed their opinion to develop regulations on the use of stablecoins, there are still divisions within the congress. These differences have delayed progress on establishing a unified framework for digital assets.
Senate Democrats recently convened a closed-door meeting to reassess pending concerns tied to the legislation. The gathering marked their first formal step since the markup process was postponed last month.
Some industry leaders remain hopeful that compromise could unlock progress in the coming months. Speculation has circulated that President Donald Trump might sign a finalized framework by April 3. Others project that broader approval may extend into April 2026 if negotiations persist. Until clearer regulatory direction emerges, XRP and the wider altcoin market may remain under cautious pressure.
XRP ETF Sees Inflows Stall as Assets Hold Near $933 Million
XRP ETF reported no daily net inflows as of March 27, signaling a pause in fresh capital movement. The cumulative inflows have reached a high of $1.21 billion, indicative of a continued investor involvement.
Net assets have been recorded at 933.33 million, with an equivalent of 1.15%of the market value of XRP. The volume of trading was at 18.03 million in the course of the session. Bitwise, Franklin, and Grayscale products declined, and shares closed down the day on the major U.S. exchanges.
Can XRP Price Recover Toward $1.45 Despite Bearish Technical Signals?
The XRP price plummeted to $1.32 during Sunday’s 4-hour session, extending its recent corrective move.
Technical charts show that XRP is still under pressure on selling. The price action has been stipulating lower lows and lower highs. This trend is an indication that the bearish momentum will continue to prevail in the structure.
The Relative Strength Index of the 4-hour period rests at 36. This reading has kept XRP near the oversold area.
In the meantime, the MACD indicator stands at a negative value. These signal lines remain below the zero point. This arrangement is indicative of declining bullish action and persisting negative risk.
If XRP price reclaims $1.38, the next upside target sits at $1.45. A sustained breakout above that level could open the path toward $1.55. Conversely, failure to hold $1.30 may accelerate losses. In that scenario, traders will closely monitor the $1.25 and $1.200 support zones.
