XRP Falls Below $1, Trading Around $0.96 as the Crypto Sell-Off Spreads

By Kevin · 2026-11-15 · News

Nov. 15 (CandyPulse) — On Thursday we said $1.00 was the big round number to watch for XRP. On Saturday it broke. XRP fell below $1, trading around $0.96, as the weekend sell-off dragged the whole crypto market lower.

Key takeaways

XRP dropped below $1, with reports of about $0.96–$0.97 on Nov. 14
One exchange reading showed a 2.14% fall in a single hour to $0.9619
It's down about 18% in a week, and one report counts nine straight daily losses
U.S. spot XRP ETFs saw about $1.09 million of net outflows on Nov. 13, far smaller than earlier in the week
One analyst flagged $0.80 as a possible next level if support fails

The move in numbers

Item	Reading
Level broken	$1.00
Reported price	About $0.96–$0.97
One-hour move (Binance)	−2.14% to $0.9619
24-hour move	About −4.9%

Prices differ by exchange and time. Reports also disagree on when XRP was last below $1: some say August, one says about a month ago.

Why $1 matters

Nothing changes about XRP itself at $0.99 versus $1.01. But round numbers carry weight in markets. Many traders set automatic sell orders just below them, and a break makes headlines, which affects mood. That's why the move through $1 came quickly.

What's driving it

This is mostly a market story, not an XRP story:

Bitcoin is falling. It broke below $64,000 on Saturday, and XRP tends to follow, with bigger swings.
Rates. Expectations of another Fed hike and high bond yields make riskier assets less attractive.
A week of pressure. We covered the ETF outflows and selling disclosure that soured the mood when XRP was near $1.06.

Two things worth noticing

ETF selling has slowed. About $1.09 million left XRP funds on Nov. 13, compared with roughly $10 million on Nov. 9. The price fell anyway, which points to the wider market as the cause.

Large holders are growing in number. One report says the count of big "whale" wallets has reached a record of about 343,500. That suggests some large investors are buying into the weakness. It doesn't guarantee a bottom, but it shows not everyone is selling.

What could happen next

Scenarios, not predictions:

If support fails. Analyst Ali Charts flagged a possible move toward $0.80 if the $0.99 area can't be reclaimed.
If it recovers $1. Climbing back above the level quickly would suggest the break was a weekend overshoot.
What decides it. Bitcoin's direction and Monday's ETF flows matter more than anything specific to XRP right now.

For holders

Falling under $1 hurts, especially after nine down days. Keep it in view: XRP's use hasn't changed this week, only its price. Size your position so a further fall wouldn't force your hand, avoid leverage in a market this jumpy, and be wary of both "XRP is dead" and "buy now or miss out" voices. Our crypto glossary explains "support", "ETF" and "whale".

What's next

Watch whether XRP can reclaim $1, Monday's XRP ETF flows, and Bitcoin around $62,000.
