XRP News Today:

XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple, is showing early signs of stabilization following a significant price correction that has seen the token drop nearly 20% over the past 45 days. On the daily chart, the price is consolidating within a descending triangle, with support near $2.70. A break below this level could trigger a move toward a fair value gap between $2.35 and $2.65, a zone historically associated with price stabilization and potential rebounds [1].

On-chain data suggests a market reset is underway, particularly in terms of leverage exposure. The estimated leverage ratio on Binance, which measures the amount of open interest relative to exchange reserves, has normalized to its yearly average. This development indicates that traders are no longer overextended in leveraged positions, reducing the risk of cascading liquidations that have historically driven sharp price drops [1]. The futures open interest has also declined from $11 billion to $7.5 billion during the same period, reinforcing the view that speculative activity has cooled [1].

Further indicators of market equilibrium include shifts in net taker volume and aggregated spot cumulative volume delta (CVD). The net taker volume is moving closer to a neutral zone, suggesting that sellers are no longer dominating the order book. Meanwhile, the CVD metric, which measures the dominance of buyers or sellers, is showing an uptick, indicating that accumulation may already be underway [1]. In parallel, aggregated futures CVD has been steadily declining, while funding rates have normalized to quarterly levels, signaling the clearing of crowded positions [1].

The confluence of these factors supports the view that XRP may be nearing a bottom. A Fibonacci retracement analysis highlights the 0.5 to 0.618 level range, which aligns closely with the $2.35 to $2.65 zone. This alignment suggests a higher probability of price stabilization and a potential rebound. Cointelegraph analysis further notes that XRP’s market structure mirrors a fractal pattern observed in Q1, which preceded a sharp breakout. If the pattern repeats, XRP could see gains of 60% to 85% by the end of the year [1].

The legal landscape for XRP has also evolved, with Ripple’s four-year legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concluding in August. The ruling determined that XRP sold on exchanges does not qualify as a security, though institutional sales were classified differently. Ripple’s legal team and external advocates, including the “XRP Army,” were acknowledged by the court for their contributions to the outcome [2]. This legal clarity has reduced regulatory uncertainty and opened the door for broader institutional adoption of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), particularly for cross-border transactions and asset management [3].

XRP’s potential for institutional adoption is a key differentiator, with the XRPL designed to meet compliance standards required by financial institutions. Ripple has also introduced a stablecoin on the XRPL, which could serve as a settlement collateral for users. The legal resolution has further reduced the risk profile of XRP, making it a more attractive long-term holding [3]. Analysts note that while XRP is positioned to benefit from institutional adoption, it remains a higher-risk asset compared to Bitcoin, which serves as a more conservative store of value [3].

Market participants are closely monitoring the token’s price movements, with some analysts, such as Javon Marks, suggesting that as long as XRP holds above $2.47, further gains of 60% or more could be in play. However, it is important to note that such projections are based on market conditions and patterns, not guaranteed outcomes. Investors are advised to conduct their own research and consider the broader risks associated with cryptocurrency trading [1].
