The Future of XRP : Liftoff or Plummet ?

The cryptocurrency market continues to captivate investors’ attention, and XRP is no exception. While the XRP price has been moving sideways for a few days, analysts speculate whether it is on the verge of a strong increase or a potential drop. This analysis focuses on a shorter time frame as XRP is trading around $2.19, up by over 1%.

According to experts, although XRP has seen a slight increase, it’s not yet strong enough to confirm a sustained uptrend. The recent rise appears to align with a three-wave Elliott wave pattern, which could either signify the start of a larger move or simply a temporary bounce.

Here’s what’s currently happening :

  • Wave B correction may not be complete. Today, we’ve seen a downward movement, and XRP could revisit last week’s lows around $2.02 to $2.03.
  • If this occurs, the price could experience a five-wave decline, with potential support around $1.90 to $2. However, it’s crucial to understand that this is a very short-term market structure with limited significance at the moment.

Forecasts and Key Levels

On the other hand, if XRP has completed its Wave B correction and started a new uptrend Wave C, it could target the range of $2.55 to $2.68. However, there’s still no clear evidence to confirm this – recent movements both up and down have been choppy, making it challenging to predict the next major move.

Since mid-April, XRP price action has been chaotic and directionless, mainly moving sideways. While there’s still a possibility of higher prices, traders should monitor some key support levels:

  • $1.82 is a significant support zone. As long as XRP remains above this level, there’s room for a recovery.
  • If XRP drops below $1.82, it would indicate the current uptrend attempt is failing, and it could decline towards $1.33 next.
