XRP slips below $1.35 after triangle breakdown puts focus on $1.30 support

CoinDesk · May 26, 2026, 5:08 AM

Key takeaways

  • • Analysts remain split on XRP’s structure, with some calling the latest move a confirmed triangle breakdown while others still frame it as late-stage compression before a larger breakout.
  • • CME Group is preparing to launch 24/7 XRP-linked futures trading later this month, adding another layer of institutional exposure to the token.
  • • Whale activity also cooled sharply during the period, with large transaction counts falling more than 57% over nine days.

The move matters because repeated tests of support tend to weaken buyers over time, and XRP is now drifting back toward the same $1.30 area traders have treated as the line between consolidation and broader breakdown risk.
