Support Collapse on 4H Structure

$XRP broke through the $1.13 support level during the active London session, signaling a shift in short-term momentum. This level had been holding as a key intraday floor on the 4-hour timeframe, and its penetration indicates seller intent below that threshold. The 24-hour decline of 2.30% reflects the downward pressure that accumulated into this breach, with trading volume at $980M providing moderate liquidity context for the move.

Breakdowns through support rarely happen without follow-through. The fact that $XRP traded through $1.13 and held below it suggests that institutional or larger retail participants were accumulating short positions into the bounce attempts at that level. Price structure deterioration typically accelerates once a key zone is breached, especially on a 4-hour timeframe where intraday traders position around such levels.

The $1.10 Zone and Fibonacci Context

The next structural support sits at $1.10, representing a 2.6% downside from current pricing. This level carries weight not only as a round number but also as a potential Fibonacci-derived level from recent swing highs. Traders use Fibonacci retracements (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%) to map out likely support zones, and $1.10 often aligns with one of these ratios depending on where the most recent significant top formed.

If $XRP continues lower and tests $1.10, the behavior at that zone will be critical. A bounce from $1.10 would suggest buyers are defending a structurally important level; a clean break below it would open the door to testing older support further down the chart. The difference between a failed breakdown and a true breakdown is often which structural zone catches the initial reversal.
