In the past 24 hours, whales have unloaded 60 million $XRP, contributing to the bearish momentum dominating the market.
$XRP is currently trading at $2.19, with a staggering $7.85 billion in 24-hour trading volume. The critical question now is whether the $2.10 support level can hold amid the ongoing sell-off.
Short-term indicators confirm bearish momentum, while oscillators present mixed signals. The MACD leans bearish, indicating potential further downside. Resistance remains firmly established in the $2.4 to $2.5 range, adding pressure to $XRP’s price action.
Despite the market’s downward trend, Ripple’s President Monica Long shared a bullish outlook for $XRP in a recent interview. She hinted that an XRP spot ETF might soon follow the approval of Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, citing improved U.S. crypto regulations.
“I think we’ll see more spot ETFs this year, and XRP is likely next in line. With the administration change, the approvals of those filings will accelerate,” Long stated, pointing to a potential milestone for $XRP and the broader crypto market.
In another significant development, Ripple CEO confirmed on FOX Business that Bank of America has shifted to using $XRP for 100% of its internal transactions. This demonstrates growing institutional adoption of Ripple’s technology, potentially boosting long-term demand for $XRP.
While $XRP faces short-term bearish challenges, developments like the potential ETF launch and increased institutional adoption may strengthen its long-term outlook. For now, all eyes are on the $2.10 support level as traders brace for the next price move.
