What triggered XRP’s 40% plunge, and how it bounced back

by admin October 11, 2025

XRP went through a wild trading day on Friday, as the crypto started off around $2.82 but suddenly tumbled nearly 40%, hitting a low near $1.64 in just a few hours.

This sharp drop shook up investors and sent trading volumes soaring.

But just as quickly, XRP bounced back, climbing back to about $2.36 before the market closed.

This spectacular price swing came amid heavy selling by big holders and a lot of market nerves, all while uncertainty around regulation and broader economic worries made traders jittery.

It was a real reminder that crypto markets can turn on a dime.

Why XRP crashed 40%: The role of whale liquidations and market panic

The nosedive happened because many big players started unloading XRP fast, amid a broader crypto market crash after US President Donald Trump announced 100% additional tariffs on China.

When the price began slipping below key levels like $2.70 and then $2.50, it kicked off a chain reaction of forced liquidations, where traders had to sell their positions to meet margin calls.

Reports show over $150 million in futures longs were wiped out, causing a flood of XRP tokens to hit exchanges.

More than 320 million XRP shifted hands as whales pushed to take profits or cut losses, creating massive selling pressure. Trading volume surged well above normal, signaling panic among investors trying to get ahead of the slide.

The wider crypto market was also struggling that day, with Bitcoin dropping below important support zones and pulling other coins down in its wake.

XRP felt the heat even more because of ongoing legal questions about Ripple’s regulatory status. Still, the price found a solid floor at $1.64, where buyers stepped in to stop things from getting worse.

That level became a crucial lifeline, keeping XRP from falling further during a very shaky day.

XRP’s big one-day comeback

After hitting that low, XRP staged a surprisingly strong bounce back. XRP buyers came in heavy, especially near the end of the trading day, helping the price recover to about $2.36.

This kind of fast recovery tells a lot about investor sentiment; many believe the drop went too far and saw a bargain to scoop up.

Tech analysts are watching the charts now. If XRP can hold above about $2.30, that could be the start of a new rally phase.

The rebound also fits with some promising signs for XRP longer term.

There is buzz around possible approvals for crypto ETFs and steady interest from institutional players, giving investors a bit more confidence.

On the technical side, XRP remains well-supported above important moving averages, which usually bodes well for future upside.

If it can push through resistance around $2.95 and $3.15 in the coming days, a move back toward the highs seen earlier this year near $3.40-3.50 looks possible.

Of course, risks remain, including fresh whale selling or broader market troubles, but this sharp turnaround shows how quickly things can shift in crypto.
