XRP: Is the Price Heading for a Crash?
XRP’s fall below $3 has triggered a wave of bearish sentiment. On the daily chart, XRP is forming a descending triangle, a pattern often associated with breakdowns. If support at $2.75 fails, the next key level could be around $2.07, representing a 26% decline from current levels.
• Bearish Indicators:
o RSI has slipped to 39, showing momentum loss.
o Trading below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages.
o NUPL data shows over 94% of XRP supply in profit, increasing sell-off risks.
• Bullish Long-Term Outlook:
o Weekly and monthly charts remain structurally bullish, with targets ranging from $5 to $27 depending on breakout confirmation.
o Analysts highlight a long-term ascending triangle, hinting XRP is still in a macro bull cycle.
While XRP may correct further in the short term, macro signals remain positive for a strong recovery, with October being eyed as a potential breakout month.
