XRP tests $1.25 support after October slide and slowing ETF inflows
XRP traded near $1.29 following consecutive weekly declines that erased gains made during a late September rally.
XRP dropped 12.5% in October through October 19, 2026, trading down to $1.29 and testing key support around $1.25. The token fell 0.6% over the preceding 24 hours, 5.8% across the week, and 14% over two weeks, leaving it 64.6% below its July 2025 record of $3.65. On October 18, the asset closed below both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, situated near $1.41.
The decline reversed a previous surge that took XRP from $1.295 on September 17 to an intraday high near $1.66 on September 23, driven at the time by capital entering spot ETFs. While those products saw $22.6 million in inflows on September 25, activity subsequently cooled, recording a $2.5 million outflow on October 16 and net zero flows by October 19, according to SoSoValue. Total net assets in the funds contracted from $1.77 billion to $1.48 billion over that window.
Broader market sentiment also weighed on digital assets. The VIX index climbed 34.7% in a single week to finish at 19.99 on October 16, reflecting rising equity market volatility that often dampens appetite for higher-risk holdings. In addition, the 10-year US Treasury yield reached a high of 5.31% during the period.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
