XRP Price Prediction Today: Potential Decline to $2.30 or a Rebound to $2.50? XRP price forecast suggests a cautious outlook as technical indicators highlight both bullish and bearish possibilities. Currently, XRP trades around $2.3731 after a sharp 8.39% retracement over the last three days, signalling a potential shift in momentum. First, the Fibonacci retracement tool shows immediate support near the 61.8% level at $2.3735, which aligns closely with the current price. If bulls manage to hold this support, Ripple price could rebound toward the 23.6% retracement level at $2.5033, where selling pressure may re-emerge. Beyond that, the MACD indicator remains in positive territory, albeit with signs of a bearish crossover forming, suggesting weakening upward momentum. XRP Price Prediction Today Conversely, if selling pressure persists and XRP closes below the key Fibonacci level of $2.3735, the next downside target lies at $2.3629. A further breakdown could expose the price to deeper losses toward $2.30 and possibly $2.26, in line with historical support levels. The declining trading volume further emphasises the bearish concerns, indicating waning buying interest. For a bullish recovery, XRP must decisively reclaim $2.40 and sustain momentum above $2.50. However, failure to hold key support levels could accelerate a bearish decline toward $2.30.
