XRP’s price has now slipped below
XRP is trading near a crucial support level at $2.12, down 4% in the past 24 hours, as widespread market turmoil weighs on sentiment and price momentum.
xRP 24-hour volume rose nearly 80% to $2.97 billion, which can be attributed to the ongoing selloff. At the same time, derivatives data from CoinGlass shows a 70% jump in trading volume, while open interest fell by 3.7%. This shift often indicates traders exiting longer positions and rotating into short-term plays, especially during fast-moving markets.
XRP’s latest decline is tied to that of the broader crypto market, which suffered a steep pullback on June 6. It shed nearly 5% as political tensions between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk rattled investor confidence. The clash erupted after Musk stepped down from the Department of Government Efficiency and criticized Trump’s new federal spending bill.
In response, Trump revoked a NASA nomination tied to Musk’s circle and warned that his businesses could lose federal contracts. The tension grew further when Musk linked Trump to the Jeffrey Epstein files, calling for his impeachment. Trump fired back, saying Musk had “gone crazy.” Tesla shares dropped more than 14%, and Musk said SpaceX would retire its Dragon spacecraft.

Although it does not yet indicate extreme conditions, the relative strength index, which is currently just under 40, shows weak momentum.
