Xrp is currently in a bullish zone but faces a critical test at the $1.77 support level. a failure to hold this could lead to a rapid decline to $0.79 due to thin liquidity, while sustained momentum could push it to $2.50.

The current bullish momentum is acknowledged, but a significant downside risk exists if the $1.77 support breaks. conversely, continued strength could lead to further gains, presenting a balanced outlook contingent on key price levels.
The analysis focuses on the immediate rally, critical short-term support/resistance levels ($1.77, $0.79, $2.50), and the potential for the current rally to be 'short-lived' or 'sustained' in the near future.

Advertisement Nonetheless, the chart showcased by Ali pointed at a thin liquidity zone below $1.77. This suggests the amount of XRP accumulated in this area is limited compared to the next major support zone near $0.79. While it is not certain how long XRP will be able to hold the current price rally, the data suggests that if XRP fails to hold above $1.77 and the current rally proves short-lived, selling pressure could increase rapidly, opening the door for a deeper correction toward the $0.79 level.

As such, a sustained move higher could reinforce confidence and attract fresh inflows, pushing the price back to the much-anticipated $2.50. #XRP #XRP Price Prediction #XRP Price Analysis
