🚨 4 Critical XRP Red Flags: Is Ripple’s Rally Doomed in 2025?

XRP bulls beware—the charts are screaming trouble. Four ominous technical signals suggest Ripple's token might be primed for a nosedive. Here's what's flashing red.

1. The Death Cross That Won't Die

XRP's 50-day MA just sliced through its 200-day like a hot knife through institutional FUD. Textbook bearish signal—if you believe in that sort of thing.

2. Volume Divergence: Whispering 'Dump'

Price action's climbing but trading volume's flatlining. Retail's buying the hopium while whales quietly unload bags. Classic pump-and-dump tell.

3. RSI Overbought Like a VC's Startup Valuation

14-day RSI kissing 75—because nothing says 'healthy correction' like greedy traders piling in at cycle tops.

4. Support Levels Cracking Like a DeFi Protocol

That $0.55 floor everyone swore was 'unbreakable'? Now trading as psychological support—the financial equivalent of thoughts and prayers.

Will XRP defy gravity again, or is this the start of a 30% haircut? Either way, someone's about to learn the hard way that TA is just astrology for finance bros.

Technical Indicators

It was just a few weeks ago when XRP rode a massive wave that drove it from a range-still position of around $2.2 to an all-time high of $3.65. Following this spectacular run, the asset expectedly calmed and retraced toward $3.3. At this point, analysts emerged to warn about the significance of the $3 support, which has to endure so that XRP can remain in a bullish state.

Although this was indeed the case for a long period during the recent correction, that support line finally cracked in the past several hours, and the third-largest cryptocurrency now sits well below it. Although it still hasn’t closed beneath it on the daily, it could dump to the next two support lines at $2.8 and $2.5 if it does, as previously reported.

The second worrying sign for XRP’s price comes from the TD Sequential metric. Ali Martinez, a popular crypto analyst with roughly 140,000 followers on X, warned that the indicator had flashed a sell signal on the 4-hour chart at the local top.

Thirdly, Martinez highlighted the MVRV ratio, which just notched a “death cross, another sign that a steeper correction could be underway.”

Whales Dumping

Ahead of and during the aforementioned rally to a new all-time high, large market participants, known as whales, were accumulating en masse. Within a few weeks, they spent billions to acquire more tokens. In fact, they were buying even when the asset’s price dipped.

However, whales have switched their strategy and disposed of more than 700 million XRP tokens in the span of just a day. To put things into a USD perspective, this stash is worth over $2.1 billion at current prices. Such massive sell-offs increase the immediate selling pressure and serve as examples for smaller investors who can follow suit.
