Will the Clarity Act Be Enough to Propel XRP to a New High?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The crypto market<\/a> is witnessing a striking divergence. On one hand, Hyperliquid’s HYPE<\/a> token is dominating capital flows with impressive resilience, trading in a price zone of $55.42 \u2013 $56.16<\/strong>. On the other hand, XRP remains stuck in a correction<\/strong> phase, experiencing a flash crash this Saturday morning down to $1.30.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent passage of the Clarity Act was supposed to act as a major catalyst to trigger a bull run<\/strong> for the Ripple token. However, the market reality is quite different. XRP’s heavy tokenomics<\/strong> and strong technical resistance<\/strong> levels are seriously complicating the formation of a breakout<\/strong> following the legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors are massively turning toward more volatile assets, leaving XRP facing a wall. To hope for a surge<\/strong>, the asset will absolutely need to attract new trading volumes and reverse the currently bearish<\/strong> sentiment weighing on its order book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, XRP<\/strong> was one of the altcoins that resisted the Bitcoin crash the longest. It is therefore in an earlier phase of correction and capitulation compared to competitors like Solana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is XRP’s Key Support in Danger Against Selling Pressure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From a purely technical perspective, XRP’s setup points to a deeper drop in the medium term. The price is currently below its critical support<\/strong> zones from its range of several months at $1.33. Below this level, XRP could plunge even lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FBB and the liquidation heatmap point to a local support between $1.27 and $1.25 <\/strong>this weekend if the drop continues. In the medium term, XRP has a strong chance of falling to $1.12 and then $0.86.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, in the meantime, a bounce to test the 16H bearish order block formed a few days earlier at $1.50 <\/strong>is also likely. Bottoms are often tedious to form, and the range remains valid if XRP reclaims $1.34.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Momentum indicators confirm this fragility. The RSI<\/strong> is approaching the oversold territory on the HTF. We will need to monitor for a bullish divergence on the 4H or 12H charts to validate a potential bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can XRP Replicate Hyperliquid’s Success?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The comparison with Hyperliquid’s dazzling success highlights XRP’s structural challenges. While HYPE flirts with its ATH<\/strong>, the Ripple token must first shake off sellers and find a favorable demand zone for smart money to step in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a liquidity standpoint, the VPFR indicates that the strongest HTF demand zone sits between $0.60 and $0.50<\/strong>. But a drop to this level could take months or even years for XRP to play out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the crypto market is renowned for its sudden reversals. If liquidity starts rotating from overbought altcoins into consolidated assets, the Ripple token could benefit from a capital influx and catch short sellers off guard. Indeed, shorts are piling up to $1.46<\/strong> at the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will whales take advantage of this price zone to accumulate and trigger an explosive breakout<\/strong>? Or is XRP doomed to underperform while new projects capture all the attention of traders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, the coming days are likely to be red for XRP as the stock market is expected to experience a latency phase between May 25 and June 5. A drop in the S&P 500 could push Bitcoin toward $73,000 <\/strong>and XRP down to $1.12.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the very short term, XRP has crucial support down to $1.277,<\/strong> represented by a 4H order block. However, XRP is showing a recent bearish order block to the upside. In other words, sellers are massively liquidating their positions this weekend. It is therefore essential to remain vigilant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
