XRP Price Breaks $3 Amid Market Crash – Bears Eye THESE Targets

XRP Price Crash Below $3

$XRP has slipped under the $3 threshold, marking a sharp 10% drop in the past week. The token now trades near $2.88, struggling under a descending trendline that has capped every rebound attempt. Both the 50-day SMA ($3.06) and 200-day SMA ($3.15) have turned into strong resistance, limiting upside recovery. On the downside, $2.80 stands as the immediate support, but if sellers push harder, the $2.50 zone could be the next major test.

With the RSI at 39, XRP is showing weak buying momentum, keeping bears firmly in control. A move back above $3.00 would be required to signal early signs of recovery.

Crypto Market Cap Drops from $4.14T to $3.79T

The broader crypto market has also been hit hard, with total market capitalization falling from $4.14 trillion to $3.79 trillion, erasing more than $350 billion in value.

A rejection at $4.14T resistance marked the start of the decline, which has since followed a descending trendline. Both the 50-day SMA ($3.91T) and 200-day SMA ($3.83T) are overhead hurdles, while the next strong support sits around $3.72T.

The RSI near 41 confirms a bearish bias, suggesting further weakness unless buyers step in soon.

XRP Price Prediction: XRP Coin Future Targets

With XRP breaking below $3, bearish sentiment is now firmly in play. Traders are watching closely whether $2.80 can hold, as losing this support could accelerate the move toward $2.50.

Across the crypto market, reclaiming $3.9T in total capitalization is critical to avoid deeper losses. Until then, bears remain in charge, and altcoins like XRP are especially vulnerable.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
