Recent insight from a top market analyst has suggested more price downsides for XRP, further highlighting two crucial levels to look out for.

Analytical guru Ali Martinez highlights that XRP looks weak, as recent price action shows continued correction. If this momentum persists, he suggests that the XRPL native token could see lower prices.

Lower XRP Prices?

XRP quickly flushed out millions of leveraged traders when it tapped $1.37 nearly a week ago before recovering swiftly. At the current market price of $2.42, this represents a 76% rebound.

Notably, this aligns with the lower support level within the range, presenting a 17.3% correction from the current market price.

The indicator shows crucial price levels where whales moved massive amounts of XRP, providing potential points of support and resistance. Using this data, he noted that key resistance and support levels stand at $2.80 and $2.10, respectively.

For $2.80, the URPD metric indicates that 2.58 billion XRP (3.97% of supply) exchanged hands at the price mark, serving as an area of massive selling pressure for the token.

Meanwhile, $2.10 could serve as a major demand zone for XRP if it reaches the low. Specifically, over 1.64 billion XRP (2.56% of its circulating supply) moved in the zone and could provide sufficient buying pressure to counter bearish momentum.
