XRP falls to $1.35 – Why dip buyers must watch THIS price zone next
The XRP Sharpe Ratio has improved from -0.3 in July to 0.207 now, the highest since August 2025.
Ripple [XRP] saw a streak of strong inflows to its spot ETFs. According to SoSoValue data, measured since the 18th of August, the nine consecutive trading days since then have brought in just over $150 million in inflows.
Talk of a super cycle is still alive and has resurfaced after the rally from $0.98 to $1.70 that began two weeks ago. Since then, a pullback to $1.35 has materialized.
Exchange XRP reserves have been falling since March. Recently, the metric dived below July’s low to signal ongoing accumulation.
XRP witnesses an improvement in risk-adjusted returns
The Sharpe Ratio financial metric is used to calculate the risk-adjusted return of an investment. On Binance, this metric has reached 0.207, the highest level since August 2025.
Recently, the metric had been around -0.3, as XRP prices trended toward $1. A rejuvenated, bullish XRP has led to the metric’s improvement.
An increase in risk-adjusted returns does not guarantee a sustained price recovery. The spot ETF inflow streak and the falling exchange reserves were encouraging for the bulls.
The 1-day price action showed a sharp bullish uptick. The previously bearish swing structure was broken when the July high at $1.18 (dotted green) was breached. At the time of writing, a pullback toward $1.13-$1.25 was underway.
Establishing the short-term XRP bias
In a post on X, crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that the price had broken out of a descending trendline resistance. Unfortunately, as it often happens with this triangle pattern, the bullish breakout has retraced.
Nevertheless, the short-term XRP bias is ready to flip bullishly. The retracement into the $1.13-$1.25 golden pocket has not ended. The $1.30 area is also a long-term support level.
Once these key demand areas are tested, the bulls remain likely to take control of the XRP price trends once more.
Final Summary
- The XRP Sharpe Ratio has improved from -0.3 in July to 0.207 now, the highest since August 2025.
- The price action was firmly bullish, buoyed by strong ETF demand and dwindling exchange reserves. More gains from the $1.30 support appeared likely.
