Ripple’s XRP token has found some support at the $1.13-$1.15 price range. CoinGecko data shows that XRP’s price has rallied by 4.2% in the weekly charts, but is glowing red in the other time frames. Let’s dig deeper into why XRP is struggling and why it could take a while to recover.
Why Is XRP Struggling And Will It Take Years To Recover?
XRP climbed to a new all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025. The rally was fueled by positive sentiment around the SEC vs. Ripple sentiment. However, the asset’s trajectory changed later in the year amid rising macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Even the launch of a few XRP ETFs were not enough to push its price.
XRP’s price plunged in early June 2026 after increased inflation figures in the US and a re-escalation in the US-Iran war. Chances of an interest rate cut in the US are extremely low right now. Higher rtes could keep investors away from high-risk assets such as XRP and other cryptocurrencies.

XRP is currently displaying a pattern last seen in 2022. The Bollinger Bands narrowed in precisely the same way exactly four years ago, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) gradually sank to the bottom. The development could mean that the market has entered an accumulation period. It could also signal volatility coming to an end. If the pattern plays out the same way it did before, XRP’s price could enter a sideways trajectory for the next 800 days, or little over two years. We could see some positive price action sometime in late 2027.
The US may pass the CLARITY Act into law very soon. The legislation could boost investor sentiment which could help XRPs price.
