- Ripple’s XRP price teeters on the edge, holding a critical $0.5773 support as technical analysis suggests a potential 5% decline or a 15% surge.
- Meanwhile, Ripple attorney John E. Deaton anticipates a competitive rush for a “clever Super Bowl Bitcoin ETF” among applicants once the SEC approves spot BTC ETFs.
Ripple’s XRP price remains in a state of consolidation, prompting speculation about an impending move as market participants brace for the holiday season. Technical analysis suggests a potential 5% decline, endangering the critical $0.5773 support, unless bullish forces drive a 15% surge.
A daily close above $0.6880 would, however, invalidate the bearish outlook, redirecting attention to the next supply order block.
Ripple Attorney Envisions a Super Bowl Bitcoin Spot ETF
Amidst this uncertainty, Ripple attorney John E. Deaton shares insights into the evolving narrative surrounding spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Deaton anticipates a competitive environment among ETF applicants’ marketing teams, envisioning a breakthrough with a “clever Super Bowl Bitcoin ETF.” The ongoing race involves key players like Valkyrie, Invesco, Fidelity Investments, Ark Invest, 21Shares, and BlackRock, each vying for SEC approval.
Despite recent capitulations, institutions, including BlackRock, hold onto hope for in-kind creates, signaling resilience in the face of regulatory challenges. The market sentiment within the Ripple (XRP) community remains optimistic, as reflected in social sentiment data, contrasting with the borderline impartiality of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).
Technical Outlook: The Battle Between Bulls and Bears
From a technical standpoint, Ripple faces a crucial juncture. If the resistance order block from $0.6544 to $0.7195 holds, a decline below the immediate support at $0.5773 becomes likely. Such a breach could lead to a 25% drop, revisiting the $0.4595 support floor.
Analyzing the Relative Strength Index (RSI), the declining momentum, coupled with the negative positions of the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), suggests a bearish bias. A break below $0.5773 would confirm this bearish outlook.
Conversely, with a bullish market sentiment, Ripple could ascend into the supply zone between $0.6544 and $0.7195, constituting a 10% climb. To confirm an uptrend, XRP must surpass the midline of the supply zone at $0.6880, signifying a 5% extension.
In an exceptionally bullish scenario, breaching the $0.7333 level could pave the way for further gains, targeting the next supply barrier between $0.7651 and $0.8234.
As the crypto landscape awaits regulatory decisions and market dynamics evolve, XRP maintains a defensive stance, its price balancing on a precarious edge, ready to tip in response to the unfolding narrative.
