In the last seven days alone, the price has dropped by 14%. More importantly, in the last 24 hours, it has plummeted by approximately 10.5%. Could XRP recover from this drop? Curious? Read on!

XRP Price Drops 10.5% in Market Crash

Currently, the broader trend in the cryptocurrency market is clearly bearish . In the last 24 hours, the crypto market has declined by approximately 9%.

Analyst Identifies a Key Level in the XRP Market

In a recent X post, a crypto analyst, identified as EGRAG CRYPTO , warned that if the price falls below the crucial level of $2.30, it could experience a free fall to lower targets.

Yesterday, the closing price of XRP was around $2.278. Currently, the XRP price remains at least 3.77% below the opening price of the day.

XRP Technical Analysis: A Short Overview

The current RSI reading of XRP, observed on its daily chart, remains at 33.04 – which is in an oversold zone. This indicates that there is a high chance of the price recovering from the current level.

However, reports suggest that the Futures Open Interest of XRP has recently declined by over 15%. This means that investors have lost confidence in the crypto.

Notably, the 24-hour trading volume of XRP remains at 100.52 Million – the highest since February 3, 2025.

More importantly, reports show that large XRP holders, or whales, have dumped no fewer than 81 million coins onto exchanges lately.

In conclusion, XRP’s price drop, whale sell-off, and investor uncertainty raise concerns.
