XRP Faces Downside Risk as Price Struggles Below $1.80

What to know:

  • XRP drops to key support around $1.77 amid rising selling pressure, risking a bearish weekly close below $1.80.
  • Analysts warn that a weekly close under $1.80 could signal further downside, with $1.50 as a potential target.
  • XRP is testing a long-term support base, which may stabilize the price if buyers hold above current levels.

XRP is back in focus after falling to a key support level, and investors are once again wondering what’s next for the token. The selling pressure is rising, and XRP is falling to a level that is seen by analysts as a major support level.

At the time of writing, XRP is around $1.75, marking a 5.86% decline over the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Despite recording a strong daily trading volume of $7.69 billion and maintaining a market capitalization of $107.5 billion, the recent pullback suggests sellers remain active.

The inability of XRP to maintain its momentum past the resistance levels has made the token’s performance worth watching, especially as the week draws to a close.

XRP Risks Bearish Weekly Close

Crypto analyst ChartNerd issued a warning on the technical setup of the XRP. A weekly close below the $1.80 level might put the cryptocurrency in a less favorable technical position. Small price movements below the range are not considered significant.

🚨 Weekly $XRP closes below $1.80 are dangerous. We must reclaim this price tag by Sundays close or risk deeper waters. Wicks are ok, candle bodied closes are not. Fail, we have $1.50 a potential target which i suggested in yesterday's content 👇🏼 https://t.co/TOZCSCMSFh

ChartNerd cautioned that if the candle closes the week at a level below $1.80, it will have bearish implications. For the token to mitigate its bearish pressure, it needs to reclaim and hold this level by the end of the week. Alternatively, $1.50 is a possible target that was mentioned earlier.

XRP Tests Long-Term Support Base

To further emphasize this conservative outlook, another analyst who refers to himself as BitGuru commented that XRP is currently trading on a base following a long-term downtrend. This base has historically been a level that has provided support for the coin price action.

According to BitGuru, the ability to hold above the base level will enable the cryptocurrency to stabilize and even attempt a bounce to the previous resistance levels. However, if the cryptocurrency fails to hold above the base level, the chances for the corrective declines will increase.

Overall, the direction that the price will take in the coming days will depend on the ability of the buyers to hold the price at the current levels and above $1.80. If the price is able to rise above the resistance level, the selling pressure will be alleviated, and the price will start to recover.
