XRP Price Drops Below $2.90 Amid Analyst’s Bearish Outlook

XRP is currently facing challenges, struggling to maintain a price above $3.00 and recently falling below $2.9. The token's 4-hour chart indicates a downward trend.

Bearish Outlook

  • Analyst DustyBC Crypto highlights a bearish forecast for XRP, noting it has not reached its first downside target.
  • Current price movements are part of a corrective structure, identified as a Wave 4 correction based on the Elliott Wave theory.
  • XRP peaked at $3.65 on July 18 and has dropped approximately 22.5% since then.
  • The analyst projects further decline, potentially reaching the $2.60 to $2.65 range before stabilizing.

Long-Term Perspective

  • Despite short-term bearishness, the overall long-term outlook for XRP remains bullish.
  • Traders are advised to be cautious with short trades; long-term holders may view current prices as an opportunity to accumulate.
  • A potential Wave 5 bounce could lead XRP to surpass previous highs above $3.65.
  • Key support to watch is around $2.6, which will determine future upward movement.

As of now, XRP is trading at $2.80, down by 1.4% in the past 24 hours.
