Market experts are optimistic about XRP’s future, citing increased whale activity, which would trigger a possible price breakout. Notably, some large XRP holders, with holdings between 1 million and 10 million tokens, have been spot-distributing their holdings despite losses sustained during the recent decline.

However, analysts and prominent figures in the crypto community are anticipating XRP to potentially reach the $2 mark, believing it may have already hit its lowest point. This sentiment is boosted by predictions of a reversal trend that could propel XRP’s price upwards in the midterm. 

Further, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has also expressed optimism, forecasting substantial inflows into the XRP Ledger from the Custody Digital Asset Market, potentially reaching significant values.

XRP 24-H Price Analysis

According to the daily price chart, Ripple’s XRP is experiencing a downtrend, with its price stabilizing near the $0.47 mark. If this decline persists, XRP could potentially test a critical support level at $0.45, matching its lowest point since June 7th.

Conversely, in the scenario of a price recovery, XRP might aim to fill the fair value gap lying between $0.4751 and $0.4858. This range represents a crucial area where buyers could regain control and potentially drive the price higher.

A significant bullish signal would be Ripple’s XRP closing above the upper boundary of this gap, specifically at $0.4858. Such a move could invalidate the current bearish outlook and pave the way for further gains, targeting the next resistance level at $0.5163.
