XRP Price Analysis: Will It Hold Above $0.51 or Retreat to $0.40?

XRP has experienced a 4% drop, falling below multiple support levels to reach $0.51, prompting speculation among market participants about its next move. 

Will XRP Price backtrack toward $0.40?

Despite a recent rally when Bitcoin led a market recovery at $43K, XRP faced resistance at $0.54, leading to a retracement. The battle between bulls and bears at $0.53 resulted in a range-bound movement until the bears took control, causing a drop below critical levels, including the Fibonacci 0.236 level at $0.5261. However, the $0.51 zone has historically acted as a strong support during market downturns, raising questions about whether XRP will maintain this critical level or face further declines. 

Expert’s Mixed Reviews on XRP’s Next Move

Previously, analyst ElmoX predicted a potential drop in XRP’s price, focusing on holding above $0.40 to avoid a major fall at $0.25. Despite calling for a correction, ElmoX remains bullish on XRP, foreseeing a rally to new all-time highs at $5 or $7, although he suggests this might take a year or two.

Bobby A, another analyst, has given a bearish sentiment around XRP and advised investors to start accumulating during drops. Tom Crown, crypto influencer, showed his interest in buying XRP for the first time since 2017, influenced by the increased bearish posts surrounding XRP during the recent market decline.

Where is XRP Price Heading Heading?

XRP faces challenges in maintaining its value at $0.51 after a recent collapse. Currently trading at $0.5095, there is a risk of a further decline below $0.50. XRP has witnessed a 4.68% drop in the past 24 hours and a 16% decline this month.

With a 94% spike in volume over 24 hours to $1,768,385,995, the token’s next defense lines are at $0.5042 and $0.4959 in case of a fall below $0.51. To secure its position above $0.51, XRP needs to make a measured move above $0.5264. 

Despite positive developments, such as the XRPL ecosystem update to v.2.0.1 and growing support for the native AMM feature, the cryptocurrency struggled to recover fully. Markets await further developments to analyze XRP’s current direction.
