Ripple price is showing a consolidation phase after a breakdown from the $1.4381 level. The global economic situation has put pressure on all financial markets as traders are mainly focused on capital preservation. Amid all the chaos, Ripple has announced a major infrastructure upgrade announced by its official X account.
Ripple Treasury Unleashes Onchain Capabilities for Global CFOs
The primary story driving the narrative for the network today is the launch of “Digital Asset Accounts” and “Unified Treasury” within the Ripple Treasury management system. This development marks the first time native digital asset functions have been embedded directly into an enterprise treasury dashboard.
By leveraging its 2025 acquisition of GTreasury, the company is now allowing CFOs to view, hold, and manage both fiat and digital liquidity—specifically $XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD)—within a single, real-time interface.
The secret sauce is simple 1/ give Corporates a trusted, regulated entry point embedded in workflows they already use, 2/ remove the friction between managing different accounts (fiat or digital). Both of those are now solved today with Ripple Treasury.

CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted the scale of this move, noting that the platform facilitated a staggering $13 trillion in payments for customers last year. By removing the need for separate custody relationships and fragmented liquidity tracking, the protocol is positioning itself as the “secret sauce” for corporate workflows.
Looking at Ripple Price Chart
A look at the 30-minute Ripple price chart shows a market in a state of high-tension consolidation. After testing a local peak, the price has entered a localized descending channel, currently trading at $1.3105. We see a 3.1% decline over the last 24 hours, occurring as $XRP struggles to reclaim the $1.34 psychological barrier.
Despite the intraday slip, the market capitalization remains a heavyweight at $80.44 billion, supported by a significant 24-hour trading volume of $2.02 billion. The visual data highlights a critical support zone resting near the $1.29 – $1.30 mark (indicated by the green horizontal bands).
The price has touched these levels multiple times over the last session, each time finding enough buying pressure to stay afloat. However, a persistent red descending resistance line continues to cap any aggressive recovery attempts. For the bulls to take control, the token needs a high-volume break above the $1.34 supply zone to signal that the “smart money” is ready to price in the recent Treasury news.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 15-minute timeframe is hovering in the 35–40 range, nearing the oversold threshold. The RSI range suggests that the downward momentum is beginning to overextend, potentially setting the stage for a relief bounce toward the $1.35 level if the broader market stabilizes.
Simultaneously, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator shows the signal line and MACD line converging at depressed levels. The histogram is printing minimal red bars, hinting that the bearish pressure is losing its velocity. A bullish crossover here would be the first signal for day traders that the tide is turning.
Editor’s Note
With the weekly frame showing a 4.6% drawdown, the asset is currently looking for any reason to pivot, and the 109% surge in volume seen earlier this week suggests that liquidity is present to support a move if a catalyst triggers it.
If the token ticker can successfully defend the $1.30 support and stage a breakout above the $1.34 resistance, the next major technical target is the $1.46 supply zone (marked by the pink shaded area). A close above this level would effectively erase the 4.6% weekly loss and put a retest of the $1.50 psychological milestone back on the table.
Conversely, if the current macro jitters cause a breakdown below the $1.29 support floor, a deeper correction is likely. In this scenario, the price could slide toward the $1.25 liquidity pool as traders de-risk, potentially extending the current 3% monthly drawdown before finding a more permanent floor.
