XRP at Critical Crossroads: $1.30 Target Looms as Traders Flee Positions

The fourth-largest cryptocurrency has witnessed bearish on-chain metrics since XRP has slipped to a 3-month low after dropping below the psychological price of $2. For instance, according to Coinglass data, XRP’s open interest has declined by 3.78%, signaling that the altcoin’s market activity is decreasing as traders exit their positions. As a result, renowned market analyst, Ali Martinez, believes that XRP’s situation might be like getting out of the frying pan and into the fire after falling below a head-and-shoulders pattern. Martinez pointed out , “XRP is breaking out of a head-and-shoulders pattern, setting the stage for a potential move to $1.30.” Source: Ali Martinez This analysis shows that XRP risks dropping to the $1.30 zone since a head-and-shoulders pattern depicts a trend reversal. According to CoinGecko data, XRP was down by 13.4% in the past week to hit $2.13 at the time of writing. Will an XRP ETF Save the Situation? With asset management firm Teucrium already setting the XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) ball rolling, Bloomberg senior analyst Eric Balchunas believes this is a welcome move despite the witnessed bear market. Trading under the name XXRP, Teucrium’s XRP ETF has already generated over $5.43 million in turnover. Balchunas stated , “XXRP (2x XRP ETF) saw $5 million in volume on Day One, very respectable, especially considering the mkt conditions. That puts it in approx top 5% of new ETF launches, and about 4x what the 2x Solana ETF $SOLT did (altho both 200x less than King IBIT).” Source: Eric Balchunas ETFs are usually deemed game-changers since they trigger heightened institutional interest in an asset, and the same is expected for XRP. Meanwhile, XRP is eyeing a mega utility explosion , thanks to Ripple’s acquisition of prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for a whopping $1.25 billion. This deal is expected to expand Ripple’s cross-border payment sphere, with XRP expected to take center stage.
