XRP Crashes Below $3: Is This the Start of a Deeper Correction?

XRP just breached the $3 support level—a psychological red line for traders. The drop sparks fresh fears of cascading liquidations.

Market Pulse: Panic or Opportunity?

With no major protocol updates or regulatory bombshells, the sell-off feels technically driven. Whales might be testing weak hands.

Technical Outlook: Broken Supports Spell Trouble

The next critical level sits at $2.50. A bounce here could signal consolidation, but failure opens the door to sub-$2 territory—where the ‘HODL gang’ starts sweating.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are (predictably) calling this ‘altseason’s funeral.’ Because nothing says ‘healthy market’ like schadenfreude.

After Trump slapped India and Brazil with 25% and 50% tariffs, respectively, the markets remain in muddy waters. Dow Jones is down nearly 600 points since then, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped by 225 points. In addition, the S&P 500 index has shed nearly 85 points, and the downturn persists. All of these pushed XRP below the $3 mark and even the cryptocurrency market is trading in the back foot.

Will XRP Reclaim the $3 Price Range?

The chances of a continued downturn for XRP below the $3 mark remain slim. Despite the trade wars and tariffs, the broader markets have mostly recovered within a week after a crash. The bounce back has been stronger this year after every downturn as investors’ Optimism is soaring. The dip is only due to policies from the White House that are affecting the market’s path.

The markets in general, without the unruly policies from the White House, are mostly healthy. Cash flow from institutional clients is seeing an influx in both the stock and the cryptocurrency markets. Investments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP ETFs are soaring, which eventually pushed Ripple’s token above $3 in 2025.

While the asset managers are bullish despite the tariffs, retail investors need to step up and match the optimism. It is advised to accumulate the dips on XRP below the $3 mark. The Ripple vs SEC lawsuit is also nearing its end, and a ruling in favor of the fintech company could propel the altcoin’s value.
