XRP and Bitcoin Price Prediction

Crypto markets experienced a downturn on Thursday as traders secured profits following a recent rally. Bitcoin maintained a price around $93,000, but other cryptocurrencies saw declines. XRP, Ether, and Solana (SOL) each fell by over 2%, with Dogecoin experiencing the most significant drop, exceeding 5%. XRP is currently trading at $2.16, representing a decrease of over 4% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin faces resistance near $91,275. Bitget's Ryan Lee suggests a potential pullback to the $85,000–$90,000 range if ETF inflows remain weak or if Bitcoin fails to break the $95,000 level. Traders are closely monitoring macroeconomic trends and market liquidity to inform their next trading decisions.

Analyst Perspectives on XRP

Analysts are observing XRP's breach of a significant resistance level at $2.24, a key retracement point often signaling the beginning of a strong uptrend. While a brief rejection from this level occurred, some analysts view this as a healthy pullback rather than a sign of weakness.

One analyst suggests the recent momentum could indicate a new trend, potentially leading to new all-time highs. While previous key levels ($2.24, $1.90, and $1.55) are now less relevant, any of these could still serve as a launchpad for a more significant price increase.

Bitcoin's Price Action

Bitcoin has repeatedly tested the $95,000 level, subsequently retracting to around $92,000. A successful break above $95,000 could potentially propel Bitcoin towards new highs in the $126,000 range. Despite the recent pullbacks, some analysts maintain a bullish outlook for both Bitcoin and XRP, anticipating substantial price movements in the near future.

Analyst Ali Martinez noted that Bitcoin is currently testing its yearly open at $93,548. This level, previously a strong support, may now act as resistance, potentially hindering further upward price movement. Separately, another analyst shared an exceptionally bullish chart for Bitcoin.

Another analyst expressed bullish sentiment towards XRP, suggesting it's following a pattern similar to its 2017 bull run. This analyst predicts XRP reaching $27 shortly, followed by a surge to $120 in the next market cycle.
