XRP price is holding above key support levels after an aggressive 20% drop since last Sunday. Bulls have lost control, but despite the selling pressure, XRP remains strong above the $2 mark—a critical level that must hold to prevent further declines. The recent downturn has added to market uncertainty as investors look for signs of stabilization.

According to Martinez, XRP could target $1.65 if the breakdown continues, making the next few weeks crucial for its price action. The overall market remains under pressure, with altcoins struggling to reclaim key levels. Bulls could push for a recovery if XRP manages to hold above $2 and regain momentum. However, failing to defend this support could result in a deeper correction, putting additional pressure on the broader crypto market. XRP Bulls Try To Reclaim Bullish Momentum XRP is trading below key levels as it tries to reclaim bullish price action amid the broader market selloff. The entire crypto market has been under pressure after Bitcoin lost its weekly support, triggering panic and increasing selling pressure across altcoins. XRP, like most major assets, has struggled to hold its ground, dropping sharply over the past few days. Martinez’s analysis on X reveals that XRP is breaking out of an ascending parallel channel, signaling a potential move lower. According to Martinez, XRP could target $1.65 if it fails to hold current demand levels. This breakdown aligns with the overall market weakness, where bulls are struggling to regain control. Despite the bearish outlook, XRP is still holding above the $2.20 mark, where buyers are attempting to defend the price from further declines. Short-term selling pressure seems to be fading, and if bulls can maintain support above this level, a recovery could be on the table. However, if XRP fails to reclaim the $2.40 level soon, bears could take control and push the price further down. The next few days will be critical for XRP’s price action as the market looks for a potential reversal or continued downside.

The price has struggled to reclaim higher levels as fear and uncertainty continue to dominate sentiment. Investors are closely watching for a potential recovery, but bears remain in control for now. For XRP to regain momentum, bulls must hold the price above the $2.20 level and establish it as strong support. A sustained hold at this level could set the stage for a recovery rally, with the next key resistance around $2.40. However, if selling pressure intensifies and XRP fails to maintain its current support, the $2 mark will be the last stronghold for buyers.

On the other hand, a quick bounce above $2.30 could indicate a shift in momentum, allowing bulls to regain control and push the price toward $2.50 and beyond. The next few days will be critical for XRP’s short-term price action, as investors look for signs of strength amid ongoing market volatility. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Kaspersky found that at least one victim lost 5 Bitcoin, worth around $442,000, to a malware-riddled fake project in November.

Bitcoin (BTC), the market’s leading cryptocurrency, has officially entered a new downtrend phase following a period of consolidation around the mid-$90,000 levels.  After reaching an all-time high of $109,000 in January, Bitcoin has now seen a significant drop of 7%, bringing its current price to approximately $87,400. This decline raises concerns about the sustainability of the broader bull market as investor sentiment shifts towards fear. Could A Drop Below $80,000 Be Imminent? Market expert Jesse Olson recently took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to question whether Bitcoin is nearing a local top or possibly “the” top for this market cycle.  Olson referenced historical data suggesting that previous pivot points for Bitcoin often signal significant downturns. He highlighted two notable instances: In April/May 2021, the Bitcoin price experienced a pivot point about 20% below its local top, leading to a price drop of 56%. In November 2021, the pivot was around 15% from “the” top, resulting in a staggering 77% decline. Currently, the price sits approximately 15% below the recent peak, and Olson notes a pending sell signal on BTC’s 3-day chart, indicating potential further downside.

Arthur Hayes Warns Of Bitcoin Downturn Adding to the bearish sentiment, market expert Arthur Hayes expressed concerns in a recent post on X, warning of a potential extension of Bitcoin’s downturn.  Hayes highlighted that many holders of BlackRock’s Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), IBIT, are hedge funds that have gone long on the ETF while simultaneously shorting Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) futures to earn a yield greater than short-term US treasuries. Should Bitcoin’s price continue to fall, Hayes suggests that these funds may unwind their positions, selling IBIT and buying back CME futures. This profit-taking strategy could lead to further declines in Bitcoin’s price, potentially pushing it down toward the $70,000 mark.

Despite the prevailing bearish outlook, analyst Doctor Profit presents a more optimistic perspective. He emphasizes that the production cost of Bitcoin is currently at $95,000, meaning the market price is below this critical threshold. Historically, prices trading below production costs have signaled prime buying opportunities for investors. Doctor Profit argues that this situation creates a compelling case for potential investors, as the market often sees price rebounds when production costs are higher than market prices.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
