XRP Price at Risk of Crashing 50%, Here’s Why

It’s an exciting weekend for crypto fans, and especially for those watching XRP closely. There’s been an update about Ripple’s case with the SEC, and while it’s not terrible news, it’s not great either.

According to an analyst, right now, XRP is trading around $2.43 — but the situation feels a bit shaky. Over the past three days, XRP tried to break through a key resistance level at $2.62, but it failed every single time. This isn’t a good sign because if buyers and big investors (like institutions) were strong in the market, XRP should have easily crossed that point. Even worse, instead of moving up, the price actually dropped below $2.50 yesterday.

At this stage, the market is leaning a little more bearish rather than bullish. According to the analysis, for XRP to look positive again, it needs to climb back above $2.50 — and ideally break past $2.62 with strong buying support.

If XRP continues to stay above $2.30, things are still under control. But if it falls below that level, traders should be ready for the price to drop closer to $2.00. That’s why the $2.30 support level is so important right now.

Be Ready for All Possibilities

Despite these short-term worries, the long-term outlook for XRP remains positive. Many still believe XRP could reach $10 by mid-2026 and even dream of a $100 price in the next five to ten years. But the road there won’t be smooth.

The crypto market is famously unpredictable. Prices can surge or crash without warning, and history shows that bull runs can be short-lived. While some believe the bull market might already be over after Bitcoin touched $110,000 and altcoins had their moment, others remain optimistic.
