XRP Price Turns Completely Bearish, But Is A Crash To $1 Still Possible?

Crypto analyst CasiTrades has warned that the XRP price structure has turned bearish, putting the altcoin at risk of a further decline. The analyst also suggested that the price could still crash below $1 as it looks to find a bottom. XRP Price Structure Shifts Bearish With Key Levels Below In an X post, CasiTrades stated that the XRP price structure has shifted bearish, with key levels below. She further revealed that price is starting to gather sell strength and that the trendline break is looking to form resistance. The analyst added that price is losing the B-wave low, shifting momentum toward supports. Related Reading: The Uncomfortable Truth About XRP That Shows How High Price Can Actually Go CasiTrades also stated that the $1.11 and $0.87 levels are the main downside targets, indicating that the XRP price could still crash below $1. Meanwhile, the local resistance is at $1.40, with the analyst noting that as long as the price stays below it, the market is likely headed lower. As such, she believes that current levels are still a no-trade zone. She urged market participants to wait for lower supports to be reached or a flip of the $1.65 macro resistance. It is worth noting that the XRP price has recently climbed above the $1.40 resistance and could invalidate the bearish structure if it breaks above the $1.65 macro resistance, as CasiTrades mentioned. This rally has come on the back of Bitcoin’s rally to around $70,000 following a drop to as low as $64,000 earlier in the week. CoinGlass data shows an increase in activity in the derivatives market amid the XRP price’s rally above $1.40. Trading volume has surged by over 33% to $6.20 billion, while open interest is up by over 6% to $2.39 billion. The long/short ratio is above 1, indicating that most traders are currently long on the altcoin. The Bottom Isn’t In Yet For XRP In an X post, crypto analyst TARA stated that she is not convinced that the bottom isn’t in for the XRP price. The analyst noted that an early indication that the bottom is in would be a break above the macro .618 level at $1.47. XRP is said to be testing that level as resistance right now, which TARA noted is a “super critical moment.” Related Reading: XRP Funding Levels Drop To Extreme Negative Levels, What This Means For Price The analyst suggested that for the bottom to be in for the XRP price, it would need a clean break above $1.88, with such confirmation still a long way away. However, she added that a break above the macro .618 support is a really good first step and a key level that it needs to hold if flipped. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.44, up over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin Holds $67K as Extreme Fear Lingers — Stabilization Before Expansion?

Bitcoin remains steady at $67,000 amid widespread concern in the market. As fear continues to grip investors, questions arise about whether this period of stability is a precursor to significant growth. The article explores which cryptocurrencies are poised for potential gains and what signs to watch for in this turbulent landscape. Bitcoin Shows Resilient Movement Despite Market Challenges Source: tradingview Bitcoin's current range is between the mid-sixty-thousands and nearly seventy-thousand. It has shown some resilience recently with a weekly gain of over two percent, even though it's down substantially over the past month and six months. The first hurdle for growth is around the low seventy-two thousands. If Bitcoin can break through, it may aim for the mid-seventy thousand range. From the current level, these potential gains represent low to mid-double-digit percentage growth. Key support for Bitcoin lies just above the high fifty-eight thousands. The market indicators suggest moderate buying interest, but recent trends reflect a challenging climate for sustained upward momentum. Conclusion BTC is holding steady at $67,000 despite prevailing fear. After recent volatility, the market shows signs of stabilization. Investors are closely monitoring this phase. Potential expansion could be on the horizon if BTC maintains its current support level. The market's next moves are crucial for future growth.
