XRP price forecast: will $300M outflows trigger a crash?

Digital currencies remain indecisive, with Bitcoin trading below the $85K mark, hovering at $84,749. Ripple’s XRP displays warning signals amidst the prevailing uncertainty. XRP changes hands at $2.13 during this writing. While steadying above the key $2 mark, a potential death cross on its price chart, coinciding with April outflows surpassing $300 million, hinted at bearish dominance.

First and foremost, Ripple’s legal developments with the SEC continue to influence XRP’s performance. While everything points to imminent resolution, uncertainty remains. Experts seem against the perception that XRP will “moon” immediately after the SEC lawsuit officially ends. Ripple enthusiast All Things XRP believes the market has already priced in the SEC case conclusion. He urged participants to focus on what the remittance firm does next after the legal battle, including strategic collaborations and utility.

While rivals like Solana and Ethereum witness real-world adoption, XRP hasn’t dominated its primary utility, facilitating cross-border transactions. Also, intensifying competition as investors turn to cheaper and quicker alternatives has dented XRP’s outlook.

That happens when the 50EMA crosses below the 200EMA. Such a move will trigger extended price dips or consolidations as XRP loses the vital support barrier at $2. On-chain metrics confirm XRP’s weakness. For instance, the open interest has declined by over 10% to $3.17 billion ( Coinglass data ). That shows traders refraining from opening new positions amid uncertainty. XRP trades at $2.13 after losing over 1.7% in the past 24 hours. The massive outflows threaten the alt’s stability, with the impending death cross suggesting a bearish performance in the upcoming sessions. However, enhanced sentiments, like official resolutions of the SEC battle, could rescue XRP from the impending death cross and attract new buyers.
