You are here: Home / News / Ripple (XRP) Faces Bearish Outlook As Price Drops 10% In January

In the first month of the new year, XRP investors are facing a bearish storm as the cryptocurrency experiences a 10% drop in its price. The decline comes as profit-taking dominates the market sentiment, coupled with the emergence of a classic bearish pattern on the technical charts.

On January 3, Ripple’s token breached the support line of a descending triangle at $0.5934, triggering concerns of a potential 17% correction. The descending triangle pattern is characterized by consolidation within a triangle, defined by lower highs and relatively equal lows. In XRP’s case, the pattern broke out on January 3, with the price hitting $0.5048, the lowest level since October 19, 2023.

Efforts to lift XRP were hampered by supplier congestion from the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $0.5934. Subsequently, on January 17, it lost a critical support level provided by the 200-day EMA at $0.5717. The MACD indicator residing in the negative region below the neutral line further indicated a prevailing market sentiment favoring the downside. If the sell-off persists, the token could see a bearish target of $0.4971, reflecting a potential 19% drop from current levels.

The bearish sentiment in XRP is also attributed to profit-booking by sellers. Market intelligence firm Santiment highlighted historically high-risk profit levels for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. According to Santiment, Ripple’s token price might still recover with increased exposure from ETFs and positive news. However, a crucial indicator for sustained long-term growth would be a breach below 75% of their supplies in profit once again.
