XRP Struggles Amidst Bearish Sentiments
XRP is currently facing challenges as it tries to sustain an upward movement towards the $1 mark. This downward correction is happening despite Ripple’s legal wins against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Analysts Bullish on XRP Rebound
Despite the current market conditions, some analysts are optimistic about XRP’s potential for a rebound. A recent tweet by crypto analyst Cryptoinsightuk highlighted XRP’s potential for an aggressive price trajectory, setting the next target between $0.89 and $1.35.
The analysis also noted a significant development in the XRP market, with over $100 million in open interest (OI) added during a notable spike. This surge coincided with reports of a fake BlackRock XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) filing, which led to a swift price spike.
“A break above the descending trendline could be the start of an aggressive move for $XRP as people try to cover or close shorts (basically meaning they have to buy). This could cascade stop losses to the upside and push $XRP on a fast move,” Cryptoinsightuk said.
Increasing XRP Whale Activity
Despite the drop in XRP valuation, there has been a surge in whale transactions, which is seen as a potential catalyst for a price rebound. The token slightly surged following fake news about BlackRock filing for an XRP ETF.
Ripple has also deviated from its pattern of selling unlocked XRPs in weekly installments, marking a significant change in approach.
XRP Price Analysis
Currently trading at $0.61, XRP has seen daily losses of about 1% and is down almost 10% on the weekly chart. Technical analysis shows that the token is dominated by neutrality, with gauges, moving averages, and oscillators all showing ‘neutral’ readings at 9,1 and 8, respectively.
The general crypto market has been anticipating the possible approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF, which could positively impact assets like XRP. However, approval does not guarantee a bull run for the crypto market.
Hot Take: Ripple’s Legal Victories Fail to Lift XRP’s Bearish Sentiment
The recent legal victories secured by Ripple against the SEC have not been enough to lift XRP’s bearish sentiment. Despite optimism from some analysts regarding a potential rebound, XRP continues to face downward pressure amidst market uncertainties and regulatory concerns.
