Ripple-linked XRP cryptocurrency has been identified as a top short candidate by Peter Brandt, a legendary analyst and investor who’s been following commodity markets for more than four decades.

Brandt Waits On Bearish Confirmation

Peter Brandt is seemingly keeping an eye on XRP for a possible short, but shares a condition that would confirm his bearish stance.

In a Thursday post on X, Brandt says he would take the bearish stand upon the completion of the descending triangle formation on XRP’s daily chart. He captioned a chart showing the triangle’s support line is at approximately $2.75, indicating that this level typically attracts fairly strong demand from buyers.

“$XRP is on my list of short candidates, but it is conditional upon completing the descending triangle.” 

Still, the upper descending resistance line shows that buying pressure is slowly weakening. With the two lines now converging, they are shaping up to form a triangle pattern that may spell doom for XRP bulls.

The triangle originates from a rejection after XRP set its current all-time high of $3.65 in July. Since then, bulls have been losing momentum at the resistance neckline of the formation at every upsurge.

XRP could plummet to $2.20 lows if the identified bearish pattern plays out — representing a 22% decline from the current price. This would mark a major setback for the bulls, given that the payments token has not seen such levels since early July. 

Whales Offload Their XRP At Rapid Pace

XRP’s latest price slump was preceded by massive liquidations from large holders, with market observers suggesting they could continue to pressure XRP’s price in the coming weeks.

After analyzing XRP Whale Flow data using a 30-day moving average, CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn observed that whales are dumping $50 million worth of XRP daily.

“Selling pressure persists,” he added.

This analysis is in line with a “synchronized” increase in XRP supply on centralized crypto exchanges in late September and early October, as data from Glassnode indicates.

The movement “strongly suggests whales are positioning for a significant sell-off,” opined quant trader CryptoOnchain in an X post on Oct. 3, adding:

“The data points to immense selling pressure, creating a high risk of a sharp correction. Conditions are ripe for a major price decline.”

The post Litecoin Fluctuates Below The $116 Threshold appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sep 17, 2025 at 23:05 // Price Litecoin price analysis by Coinidol.com: LTC price has slipped below the moving average lines after hitting resistance at $120. Litecoin price long-term prediction: bearish The 21-day SMA support helped to alleviate the selling pressure. In other words, the price of the cryptocurrency is above the 21-day SMA support but below the 50-day SMA barrier. This suggests that Litecoin will be trapped in a narrow range for a few days. If the 21-day SMA support or the 50-day SMA barrier is overreached, the cryptocurrency will trend upwards. For example, if the LTC price breaks through the 50-day SMA barrier, it will rise to a high of $124. Litecoin will fall to its current support level of $106 if the 21-day SMA support is broken.
