XRP price prediction: The price has started a downward correction

XRP, the native token of Ripple, has entered a correction phase after failing to sustain its momentum above crucial resistance points.
The token’s price is currently attempting to recover above the $0.540 zone, with analysts predicting resistance around $0.546, aligning with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the previous downward movement between $0.555 and $0.5317.
The first significant resistance sits at the $0.5500 level, followed by another key hurdle at $0.5550. Recent weeks saw XRP’s rally losing steam, triggering a downward correction due to deteriorating market sentiment and an inability to surpass these critical resistance areas.
Experts are closely monitoring the $0.5400 and $0.5320 support levels, warning that a break below these could push the token further down toward the $0.50 region. This downward trend corresponds with technical indicators, including the formation of a descending triangle and bearish signals from the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator, suggesting potential continued declines unless reversed by a strong bullish shift.
Despite short-term challenges, some analysts remain cautiously optimistic about XRP’s long-term prospects. The correction phase may offer buying opportunities for investors aiming to accumulate XRP at lower prices. However, ongoing volatility across the broader cryptocurrency market—exemplified by Bitcoin's struggle to maintain upward momentum—continues to shape XRP's trajectory, adding uncertainty about the timing of a potential recovery.
This correction also reflects cautious market sentiment amid growing concerns over regulatory changes and macroeconomic uncertainty. Investors are advised to monitor key support levels and emerging technical patterns that will influence XRP's outlook. Resistance at $0.5500 and $0.5550 will remain critical obstacles for any upward movement in the near future.
Whether XRP can recover in the coming months will largely depend on broader market conditions and any significant developments in Ripple’s business operations or legal matters.
