XRP, a Critical Support Under Surveillance

XRP is facing significant selling pressure, having recorded a 5% decline during recent trading sessions. This correction comes in a paradoxical context where institutional interest in crypto ETFs continues to grow. Technical analysts currently identify the $2.39–$2.41 range as the major support level to defend.

This price zone represents much more than a simple psychological threshold. It corresponds to a technical confluence where several indicators converge: A significant Fibonacci retracement, a 50-day exponential moving average, and historically high trading volume. If this floor gives way under pressure, specialists anticipate a bearish extension toward $2.10–$2.15.

Volatility remains particularly high on the XRP/USD pair, with intraday oscillations regularly exceeding 3%. This instability reflects market indecision faced with contradictory signals: on one hand, institutional adoption via ETFs is progressing, on the other, the technical configuration is deteriorating.

The Death Cross Threat: Anatomy of a Bearish Signal

Seasoned traders are closely monitoring the imminence of a death cross on XRP’s daily chart, a bearish signal that occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average. Historically, this crossover has preceded corrections of 30 to 40% over periods of 4 to 6 weeks. The RSI at 42 confirms weakened momentum, while volumes declining by 18% indicate an exhaustion of buying dynamics.

Despite this technical weakness, the crypto ecosystem benefits from growing institutional adoption, driven by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This evolution highlights a marked dichotomy: XRP remains lagging behind, notably due to the absence of a dedicated ETF in the United States, which limits its exposure to institutional investors. Additionally, its correlation with Bitcoin has weakened, dropping from 0.78 to 0.62, highlighting an increasingly independent price evolution.

Long-term holders continue to show their confidence, however, with 67% of wallets active for more than a year, an eight-month record. This solid investor base could cushion selling pressure and limit the correction if the key support around $2.39–$2.41 were to be tested.
