XRP Price Crashes 9% – Is a Drop to $1.60 Inevitable? Expert Weighs In

XRP

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed another turbulent session, with XRP plunging more than 9% amid a broader market downturn. The token, which is currently trading at $2.25, saw its one-day trading volume surge 139% to $8.33 billion, indicating increased investor activity. However, despite the heightened trading volume, bearish sentiment continues to dominate, with market analysts predicting further declines if critical support levels fail to hold.

XRP’s Next Move: Key Levels to Watch

Renowned crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO has identified crucial support and resistance levels that could determine XRP’s next price trajectory. According to EGRAG CRYPTO, the $2.30 mark is a pivotal support level. A break below this threshold could trigger a significant drop, with XRP potentially retracing to $1.60.

In a recent post on X, the analyst warned, “Our key focus now is not to drop below $2.30, as that could trigger a free fall to lower targets.”

EGRAG CRYPTO outlined the following price levels:

  • Closing below $2.30: Bearish signal, increasing downside risk.
  • Closing above $2.60: A bullish reversal may be in play.
  • Closing above $2.85: A stronger bullish confirmation.
  • Closing above $3.11: XRP could be heading towards new all-time highs.

With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) approaching oversold territory, some traders speculate that a price rebound could be imminent. However, broader market sentiment remains cautious, and XRP’s ability to hold above key levels will be closely monitored.

Market Trends & Whale Activity Impacting XRP

Despite Ripple’s continued progress and mainstream attention—including former U.S. President Donald Trump mentioning XRP on Truth Social—the market remains under pressure. Speculation surrounding a possible U.S. XRP Reserve has also fueled debates, adding to the ongoing BTC vs. XRP rivalry.

However, recent whale movements suggest a cautious approach from large investors. Over 81 million XRP tokens have been offloaded to exchanges, contributing to the token’s price decline. If whale sell-offs continue, further downward pressure could be expected.
