XRP Price Extends Losses

XRP price remained in a short-term bearish zone like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price struggled to start a recovery wave and extended losses below the $0.5220 support zone.

It even declined below the $0.5120 support. A low was formed at $0.5080 and the price is now attempting a fresh recovery wave. There was a move above the $0.5120 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $0.5405 swing high to the $0.5080 low.

However, the price is still trading below $0.520 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $0.5180 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.5180 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The first key resistance is near $0.5250 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $0.5405 swing high to the $0.5080 low. A close above the $0.5250 resistance zone could send the price higher. The next key resistance is near $0.5320.

If there is a close above the $0.5320 resistance level, there could be a steady increase toward the $0.5450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5650 resistance.

More Downsides?

If XRP fails to clear the $0.5180 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5120 level.

The next major support is at $0.5080. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.5080 level, the price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could decline and retest the $0.50 support in the near term.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
