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.

Wormhole, an interoperability protocol facilitating asset transfers between blockchains, announced updated tokenomics to its native Wormhole (W) token, including a token reserve and more yield for stakers. The changes could affect the protocol’s governance, as staked Wormhole tokens allocate voting power to delegates.According to a Wednesday announcement, three main changes are coming to the Wormhole token: a W reserve funded with protocol fees and revenue, a 4% base yield for staking with higher rewards for active ecosystem participants, and a change from bulk unlocks to biweekly unlocks.“The goal of Wormhole Contributors is to significantly expand the asset transfer and messaging volume that Wormhole facilitates over the next 1-2 years,” the protocol said. According to Wormhole, more tokens will be locked as adoption takes place and revenue filters back to the company.Read more
