XRP News Today: XRP breaks below $3 as bearish momentum intensifies with 25% drop risk to $2.25

XRP is currently in a precarious position, with bears successfully pushing the price below the crucial $3 level, triggering concerns over further downward momentum. On August 4, 2025, analysis highlighted growing bearish pressure as the price failed to hold above $3, signaling the potential for a deeper correction [3]. Over the following days, the situation deteriorated further, with the price slipping below $3 on August 6, prompting analysts to warn that bulls must quickly retest and reclaim the $3.30 level to prevent additional losses [2]. Failure to do so could accelerate the bearish trend and open the door for a potential drop toward $2.24 or even $2 if the downward trajectory continues.

The decline has been supported by deteriorating on-chain and technical indicators. The 90-day spot taker cumulative volume delta (CVD) has turned negative, indicating strong seller dominance since the July 18 high above $3.66 [3]. This, combined with a drop in the RSI to 45 from 61 over the past week, suggests that bullish momentum is fading [3]. Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView data show that XRP has broken below a symmetrical triangle on the daily chart, with a close below $3.00 increasing the risk of a 25% decline to $2.25 [3].

The price’s struggle near the $3.00 level has drawn warnings from key analysts. Ali Martinez, a prominent market analyst, has emphasized that recapturing $3.30 is essential to prevent a sharp correction toward $2.60 or lower [8]. Similarly, community expert Zach Rector has forecasted a potential $4 price target for XRP in 2025, but this outcome now appears uncertain given the current consolidation near $3 [7].

While some analysts remain cautiously optimistic about XRP’s longer-term prospects, the near-term outlook remains bearish. A July 30 report noted that 94% of XRP holders are currently in profit, a level that has historically aligned with price tops [9]. Additionally, bullish predictions for a potential climb toward $5 have emerged, though these remain speculative unless XRP can stabilize and demonstrate a clear upward trend [5].

With the price in a critical juncture, the next few days will be crucial for determining whether bulls can reclaim control. A sustained move above $3.30 could restore investor confidence and halt further declines [2]. Until then, XRP remains vulnerable to deeper corrections, and traders are advised to monitor key support and resistance levels closely [2].
