Today, I’m giving you my opinions on where XRP and Bitcoin could be headed next. We’ve broken below $2, and now we’re battling that key level. Let’s jump right in.
XRP: Resilience in a Volatile Market
Looking at the daily timeframe on XRP, I have to be completely honest — this is looking almost identical to Bitcoin’s price action right now.
But here’s what’s impressive: XRP has held up better than any other coin in the market. I’m honestly surprised. Historically, a lot of XRP’s bullish moves get pulled back quickly, but this time is different — we’re showing real strength.
Key Levels to Watch:
- We wicked down to $1.62 and bounced back up.
- $2.07 is the critical resistance level we must reclaim.
If XRP comes up to $2.07 and gets rejected, new lows are likely, and we could break below $1.61.
However, if we flip $2.07 from resistance into support, that would form a higher low, signaling the start of a potential reversal.
Broader Market Perspective
Zooming out, XRP’s resilience makes sense when you consider the fundamentals:
- Brad Garlinghouse is securing major partnerships with global governments and banks, like those in Japan.
- An XRP Spot ETF is on the horizon — filings are in motion, and XRP could be next in line.
- The SEC lawsuit saga continues: although Ripple paid a $50 million fine, we’re still waiting for the official end.
(It’s overdue, but we’re getting close.)
On the regulatory side, I’m seeing a general lightening up across the world, and crypto is gaining more acceptance. Once the SEC finally steps back, XRP will be in an even stronger position.
Even though XRP is still down significantly from all-time highs, it’s staying solid:
- Market Cap: $117.18 billion
- 24-Hour Volume: $3.4 billion
Bottom line: XRP is showing strength, but expect more volatility ahead.
Bitcoin’s Key Levels: Are We Bottoming Out?
Over on Crypto Twitter (@33BlackSea), I recently posted:
“Anything below $84K on Bitcoin is still a lower high.”
Here’s what’s happening:
- Bitcoin is trading around $83K.
- We’re catching a small bounce.
- Salana is back above $120, showing strength too.
The Important Signal for Bitcoin:
- We need to close above $84K-$85K on the daily timeframe.
- If we do, that would mark a higher low — a key step in forming a true reversal.
- If not, I expect more downward pressure.
If Bitcoin fails to reclaim $84K and breaks down further, watch for:
- $73,400 as a key support.
- Potential wicks below $73K.
- In an extreme case (if the traditional markets crash), a test of $68K, and possibly as low as $51K (worst-case scenario).
Macro Environment: Eyes on Traditional Markets
Traditional markets right now are at the mercy of political factors, especially Trump’s tariffs. It’s a volatile environment.
However, inflation is coming down, and unless the economy rolls into a deep recession, I believe the bottom is close.
As long as Bitcoin stays above $73K, I remain cautiously optimistic.
Final Thoughts
Let’s recap:
- XRP is impressively strong but must flip $2.07 to support.
- Bitcoin must close above $84K to confirm a potential market reversal.
- Expect volatility, but the bottom could be near if traditional markets stabilize.
