Here’s why XRP price is crashing

XRP continues to remain in familiar territory, trading in the red zone as the token encounters further losses. 

Notably, XRP is a subject of ongoing speculation, having failed to rally and instead consolidating below the $1 mark. Part of the token’s woes can be attributed to the ongoing Ripple and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) case.

Part of XRP’s downturn is attributed to the overall market sentiment that has impacted assets such as Bitcoin (BTC). The token needs a significant shift in its price action to avoid further declines, as bears remain in control.

As things stand, XRP has strong support in the $0.45 to $0.46 zone, presenting hope for a rally towards the crucial $0.50 mark. In the meantime, XRP continues to show a sharp decline in the short term.

Why is XRP crashing 

Insights into why XRP is plunging can be gathered from on-chain data. Particularly, data shared by crypto Analysis platform Santiment on June 25 hints at what is happening with XRP. 

According to the data, investors have realized losses on their token holdings over the past ten days, during which XRP lost the $0.50 support. This is typical of market capitulation, with traders likely selling their tokens at a loss while expecting a further decline in the asset’s price.

Specifically, the XRP Network Realized Profit/Loss (NPL) data indicates negative spikes in the ten-day timeframe, during which losses exceeded $30 million. At the same time, the supply of XRP on exchanges has declined over this period, leading to bearish sentiments.

Additionally, the possibility of further downside from the planned token unlocks is likely causing concern among investors. Notably, as reported by Finbold, XRP plans to unlock 1 billion tokens on July 1, worth $470 million, as part of Ripple’s monthly sell-offs, which could negatively impact the XRP price in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, XRP’s correction has coincided with ongoing regulatory developments. This follows SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s allegations that the crypto sector has harmed the public, comments that have rattled the crypto sector. 

For instance, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticized Gensler’s statement, terming it “absolute nonsense.”

At press time, XRP was trading at $0.46 with daily losses of almost 0.5%. On the weekly chart, the token is down by over 6%.

Overall, XRP’s lifeline depends on breaching the $0.50 resistance zone, which will inspire investor confidence in the asset.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...
