Despite recovering from bearish lows following its recent uptick, a crypto analyst has predicted that the XRP price could undergo a further decline in its price to $1.5. The analyst has pinpointed a critical resistance level that XRP will need to hold lest it crashes to new lows and eradicates recent gains. Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash To $1.5 TradingView crypto analyst MadWhale has shared a new price analysis focusing on XRP’s future price potential. The analyst emphasized his strong track record of cryptocurrency trends, underscoring that he has accurately identified and hit all the gain targets. Related Reading: XRP Price Pump To $3.35 On The Horizon With Bullish Cup And Handle Pattern Formation MadWhale predicts that the XRP price could crash below $1.9 to $1.5. The analyst revealed that XRP is currently in a downtrend and has been making lower highs and lower lows, indicating a bearish structure. According to his price chart, the cryptocurrency is also trading within a descending channel and fast approaching a key resistance level. This critical resistance point at the $2 mark has been tagged as a psychological level where sellers are likely to emerge and trigger further downward pressure on the cryptocurrency. If a rejection occurs at this $2.00 resistance level, MadWhale highlights that the next support area and downside target will be around $1.90, representing a 17.62% value drop. If the resistance level fails completely and the $1.90 support level breaks, the TradingView crypto analyst has forecasted another major breakdown in the XRP price. He predicts that the cryptocurrency could experience a more profound decline of 35%, possibly dropping down to the next major support level at $1.5. This crash target aligns with the lower boundary of the descending channel in which XRP currently resides. MadWhale has revealed that the decline to $1.5 could serve as a pivotal point for price stabilization, hinting at a possible reversal in the cryptocurrency once bearish pressures wane. The analyst’s price chart also shows that XRP recently tested the upper boundary of the descending channel but faced a rejection near the resistance. The main daily resistance area for the XRP price is marked in red on the chart, suggesting that $2.6 is where selling pressure might occur. As of this writing, XRP is trading at $2.8, already significantly above MadWhale’s daily resistance area. Trump’s Crypto Reserve Plan Triggers Major XRP Price Surge After experiencing a significant price crash over the past few weeks, the XRP price seems to be recovering at an alarming pace. In just one day, the cryptocurrency saw a double-digit price surge, successfully reversing its previous downtrend. Related Reading: Pundit Who Correctly Predicted XRP Price Crash To $2.5 Says Demand Zone Will Send It Soaring Analysts have attributed this unexpected sharp surge to the recent United States (US) crypto reserve plan announced by Donald Trump.

As news of this strategic plan spread, the XRP price saw a 24.5% increase, pushing its value significantly above the $2.5 threshold once again. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
Although Bitcoin (BTC) managed to recover most of its losses over the weekend after tumbling as low as $78,258 on February 28, the premier cryptocurrency has created a massive new Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap, raising concerns that the digital asset may witness another pullback to the low $80,000 level. Bitcoin Not Out Of The Woods Yet According to an X post by crypto analyst Rekt Capital, BTC filled two key CME gaps over the weekend – one between $78,000 and $80,700, and another between $92,800 and $94,000. The wide range of prices reflects the extreme volatility witnessed by the top cryptocurrency over the weekend. As a result of this volatile price action, BTC has now created a new, massive CME gap between $84,650 and $93,300. Rekt Capital added that while the bottom may have been reached at $78,258 during the downside deviation, it does not necessarily mean that BTC won’t revisit that price level. For the uninitiated, a Bitcoin CME gap is the price difference between Bitcoin’s closing price on the CME futures market and its opening price the next day, created because the CME closes over the weekend while the spot market continues to trade. Past data indicates that CME gaps often work as price magnets. That said, even if BTC hits the lower end of the latest CME gap at $84,650, it would still constitute a higher low relative to Friday’s low of $78,258. Rekt Capital concluded by saying that as long as BTC holds the macro support at $93,500, “any short-term downside volatility will only present opportunities.” Fellow crypto trader Merlijn The Trader remarked that “volatility is about to go parabolic” following the creation of the new massive CME gap. According to data from Coinglass, heightened price volatility has already led to liquidations worth over $900 million in the past 24 hours. Another crypto analyst, Will, noted that the general sentiment around BTC is too euphoric for a retest of a previous accumulation range. The analyst added that they are eyeing the mid $70,000 range to accumulate BTC. Analyst Suggests More Downside For BTC While BTC currently trades close to the $90,000 level, analysts believe that the top digital currency by market cap could slip to $74,700. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently highlighted that historically, BTC tends to rebound from long-term support levels, which currently sit in the mid $70,000 range. In related news, Coinbase analysts remarked that BTC’s price is struggling due to the absence of any major near-term positive catalysts. In particular, the recent Bybit hack and heightened macroeconomic uncertainties are likely contributing to BTC’s woes. On a positive note, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are finally starting to see net inflows once again. At press time, BTC is trading at $90,170, down 1.5% in the past 24 hours.

Ethereum price started a fresh decline from the $2,550 zone. ETH is now back below $2,200 and might decline further in the near term. Ethereum started a fresh decline below the $2,350 support zone. The price is trading below $2,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a new bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,160 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair must clear the $2,160 and $2,250 resistance levels to start a recovery wave. Ethereum Price Dives 15% Ethereum price failed to clear the $2,550 resistance zone and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin . ETH gained bearish momentum below the $2,400 and $2,350 support levels. There was a clear move below the $2,250 support zone and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The price even dived below the last low and tested the $2,000 zone. A low was formed at $2,003 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,550 swing high to the $2,003 low. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average . On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,080 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,150 level. There is also a new bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,160 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The main resistance is now forming near $2,275 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,550 swing high to the $2,003 low. A clear move above the $2,275 resistance might send the price toward the $2,350 resistance. An upside break above the $2,350 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,450 resistance zone or even $2,500 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,160 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,020 level. The first major support sits near the $2,000 zone. A clear move below the $2,000 support might push the price toward the $1,880 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,750 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,640. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now below the 50 zone.
