Is XRP Price Heading for a Crash?

Published by

XRP is currently stuck in a tricky situation as its price struggles to pick a clear direction. After a small rally earlier, the token has faced strong resistance and is now moving sideways, raising concerns about whether a price drop could be on the way.

Key Resistance Level at $2.30

On the XRP price chart, a clear upside breakout hasn’t appeared yet since the recent pullback started on July 3rd. There is a strong resistance trendline around the $2.30 level. This area has rejected XRP several times in the past, on May 24, May 27, June 16, June 30, and now again.

If XRP can break above this level soon, it could open the door for a bigger rally. But as long as it stays below, traders expect the sideways movement to continue.

What Happens Next?

Popular analyst Dark Defender also shared his view, saying the upcoming weekly candle close is important. He explained that if XRP can close this week above $2.28–$2.33, it will be a positive sign for next week’s price action. However, if it fails, the sideways movement could continue for a few more days.

His Targets:

  • Upside: $2.33, $2.46
  • Downside Supports: $2.19, $2.07, $1.99

Right now, XRP’s price movement remains choppy and indecisive, bouncing between resistance and support without clear direction. Although a small rally happened recently, it wasn’t strong enough to confirm a real trend reversal. For XRP to keep its current market structure intact, it must stay above the June 27 low of $1.99. A drop below this level would weaken the bullish outlook in the short term.
