Highlights

  • XRP price declined 44% in four days before rebounding 37% within hours.
  • Trade tensions and global market instability triggered widespread crypto sell-offs.
  • Technical indicators suggest a possible consolidation before a potential recovery.

Ripple (XRP) has faced sharp declines, falling to $1.80 after losing 44% in just four days. However, buyers stepped in, lifting the price by 37% in a short span. The cryptocurrency had attempted to hold the $3 mark earlier in January but failed to maintain momentum. The recent downturn aligns with a broader market sell-off, reflecting uncertainty in the global economic landscape.

Trade tensions in the United States contributed to market volatility, with cryptocurrencies reacting swiftly. The announcement of new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico on February 1 led to significant price drops across the crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC) slipped 6.8%, while Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 15%. XRP's market capitalization dropped to $150 billion, and it hit an intraday low of $2.51, according to CoinMarketCap.

Attribute the decline to concerns over potential instability in U.S. equities and weekend trading volatility. Timothy Sykes highlighted the impact of macroeconomic concerns, while trader DonAlt issued a warning about further downside risks. AI-driven analysis detected waning momentum near the $3.20 resistance level, suggesting a likely retracement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 78 indicated overbought conditions, aligning with a forecasted price range of $2.50 to $2.90.

XRP reached a low of $2.12 on February 4, aligning with earlier predictions. AI models now indicate that if XRP maintains support at this level, consolidation near $2.50 could occur before a potential rebound. Holding above $2.60 may signal bullish momentum, attracting renewed market interest. However, failure to defend the $2.00 mark could lead to further downside, eroding confidence among recent buyers.

Over a broader timeframe, XRP has delivered strong performance, with long-term holders potentially capitalizing on profits. If selling pressure intensifies, continued declines may follow. The upcoming sessions will be crucial in determining whether XRP stabilizes or faces further corrections.
