XRP price levels to watch under $2.40

XRP’s latest price crash saw it lose key support levels, including the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) at $2.43 and the $2.40 psychological level.

Traders are now focused on key areas below this level, which XRP might revisit if the ongoing bearishness persists.

Notably:

  • XRP’s first area of interest remains between its previous range low at $1.90 (formed on Dec. 9, 2024) and the recent range low at $2.06 (reached on Feb. 25).

  • XRP will potentially target the liquidity cluster inside this range if support at $2.15 is lost.

  • An immediate reprieve for the bulls would be a sharp reversal from this range, which will indicate buying interest below $2.40.

  • Otherwise, XRP could drop lower to retest the fair value cap between $1.51 and $1.82, formed during the rally between November and December 2024.

  • Note that the 200-day SMA sits just below this range, suggesting a strong demand zone just above $1.50.

The area above $2.00 represents a strong support zone for XRP, according to pseudonymous analyst Cvotrades, who says losing this will lead to a drop to $1.70.

“Watch the weekly close. If it’s below $2.09, then it sweeps $1.77.”

XRP price bear flag hints at $1.73

From a technical perspective, XRP trades within a bearish continuation pattern that indicates more downside ahead despite the ongoing consolidation.

Key points:

  • XRP is trading within a bear flag pattern in the four-hour timeframe, indicating the possibility of continuing with the downward momentum if key support levels don’t hold.

  • The bear flag developed after XRP’s drop from $2.60 to a local low of $2.06 between Feb. 24 and Feb. 25.

  • The consolidation within the bear flag has XRP trading in an ascending parallel channel, with the price testing critical support levels today, including the lower boundary of the flag at $2.20.

  • A breakdown of this level could trigger another price crash.

  • The bear flag’s downside target, derived from the height of the previous drop, is approximately $1.73, representing a 22% downtick from the current price.
