XRP Extends 17.5% Slide: Can the $1.50 Support Hold Firm?

XRP dropped to $1.50 on Wednesday after a strong continuation of its bearish pattern pushed the cryptocurrency to a vital higher-timeframe demand zone. The token declined after a clean breakdown of multiple support levels, indicating a strong downtrend as investors await a reaction to key support.

The daily chart is showing lower lows and highs, indicating that the selling pressure continues in the market. Cryptocurrency is nearing the $1.50 mark, which is the last significant buyers’ base before a potential deeper decline.

New Supply Zones Limit XRP Recovery

Several previous demand areas have now become supply areas. These include the newly formed supply at the reclaimed $2.00-$2.20 price range, which continues to cap all the upside movements. 

According to the analysts, any movement toward this area is considered a correction unless the asset is able to close above it.

As of press time, XRP is trading at $1.51, down by 2.81% in the past day, according to CoinMarketCap data. The trading volume has risen by 35.91% to $4.09 billion. Over the past week, the token price has declined by 17.5%.

In addition, another analyst, Maxi, mentioned that XRP must break out from its bear channel to indicate a real change in trends. 

He said that recent positive movements for cryptocurrency are just relief rallies and are not enough to indicate a reversal. A confirmation would be seen if the coin is able to close above the $2.20 level.
