XRP Price Can Fall Further To $1.5 If This Level Fails To Hold

Despite recovering from bearish lows following its recent uptick, a crypto analyst has predicted that the XRP price could undergo a further decline in its price to $1.5. The analyst has pinpointed a critical resistance level that XRP will need to hold lest it crashes to new lows and eradicates recent gains.

TradingView crypto analyst MadWhale has shared a new price analysis focusing on XRP’s future price potential. The analyst emphasized his strong track record of cryptocurrency trends, underscoring that he has accurately identified and hit all the gain targets. 

MadWhale predicts that the XRP price could crash below $1.9 to $1.5. The analyst revealed that XRP is currently in a downtrend and has been making lower highs and lower lows, indicating a bearish structure. According to his price chart, the cryptocurrency is also trading within a descending channel and fast approaching a key resistance level. 

This critical resistance point at the $2 mark has been tagged as a psychological level where sellers are likely to emerge and trigger further downward pressure on the cryptocurrency. If a rejection occurs at this $2.00 resistance level, MadWhale highlights that the next support area and downside target will be around $1.90, representing a 17.62% value drop.

If the resistance level fails completely and the $1.90 support level breaks, the TradingView crypto analyst has forecasted another major breakdown in the XRP price. He predicts that the cryptocurrency could experience a more profound decline of 35%, possibly dropping down to the next major support level at $1.5. This crash target aligns with the lower boundary of the descending channel in which XRP currently resides.

MadWhale has revealed that the decline to $1.5 could serve as a pivotal point for price stabilization, hinting at a possible reversal in the cryptocurrency once bearish pressures wane. The analyst’s price chart also shows that XRP recently tested the upper boundary of the descending channel but faced a rejection near the resistance.

The main daily resistance area for the XRP price is marked in red on the chart, suggesting that $2.6 is where selling pressure might occur. As of this writing, XRP is trading at $2.8, already significantly above MadWhale’s daily resistance area. 

After experiencing a significant price crash over the past few weeks, the XRP price seems to be recovering at an alarming pace. In just one day, the cryptocurrency saw a double-digit price surge, successfully reversing its previous downtrend.

Analysts have attributed this unexpected sharp surge to the recent United States (US) crypto reserve plan announced by Donald Trump. The US President had included XRP in his plans for a crypto reserve aimed at boosting the country’s debt strategy and crypto dominance. As news of this strategic plan spread, the XRP price saw a 24.5% increase, pushing its value significantly above the $2.5 threshold once again.
