XRP Price Faces Downside Risk: What Are Analysts Saying?

The XRP price remains in focus amid market fluctuations. Foreign sources highlight short-term downside risks. In April 2025, the SEC’s delay in Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF application caused the price to drop to $2.17 USD. 

Bearish Signals Strengthen for XRP 

On the daily chart, XRP is forming a bearish symmetrical triangle pattern. This suggests a potential 40% drop to $1.25. Additionally, transaction volume on the network is declining. 

Volatility Ahead of Fed Meeting 

Ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decisions, XRP faces a $55 million liquidation risk. Open interest has decreased by $500 million, falling to $3.8 billion, indicating shaken investor confidence. The XRP/BTC ratio is also at a three-week low, showing weakness against Bitcoin. 

Foreign Analysts’ Predictions 

Bank of America predicts XRP could reach $15 by 2030. However, in the short term, Bybit data reveals that $8 million in long position liquidations is fueling selling pressure. CryptoQuant notes that the MACD indicator has turned negative, but the 45% RSI level offers a slight chance of recovery. 

• Kraken analyst James points out that the MACD has turned negative, but the Bollinger Bands are narrowing. This suggests potential increased volatility. 
• A break below a support level (e.g., closing below $2.00 USD) could trigger a move toward the next support levels ($1.96 or $1.77 USD). 
• A breakout above resistance levels (e.g., $2.20 or $2.48 USD) could initiate a new uptrend. A breakout supported by volume increases the reliability of the move. 

Analysts predict that, thanks to Ripple’s technological infrastructure and institutional adoption, Ripple could test the $3.00–$4.00 USD range by the end of 2025. While XRP faces short-term pressure, it holds long-term potential. Closely monitoring the market is crucial.
