The day has begun with XRP experiencing a turbulent start, with the cryptocurrency rising to an early morning peak of $0.37738.

Market Analysis of XRP (XRP) and its Potential Future Value

The uncertain legal status of XRP has left it at the mercy of the US economic calendar and the banking sector. Recently, concerns about contagion were reignited after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB) and Signature Bank (SBNY). As a result, Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN) saw a 24.24% drop in value after its largest shareholder announced that it would not provide any additional financial assistance.

At the time of writing, XRP (XRP) is trading at $0.370684, with a trading volume of $845,839,231 over the last 24 hours. The coin has experienced a 1.92% increase in price in the past day but a decline of -0.66% in the last 7 days. With a circulating supply of 51 billion XRP, its market cap stands at $18,957,972,034.

If all 100 billion XRP tokens were in circulation, the fully diluted valuation (FDV) would be $37,208,306,852, but the timing of such an event would depend on the token emission schedule. Compared to the overall cryptocurrency market, XRP (XRP) has underperformed, experiencing a price decline of -0.70% over the last 7 days, while the market as a whole has seen a 19.00% increase. Additionally, compared to similar cryptocurrencies, XRP has not performed as well, seeing no price increase over the same period.

The maximum market cap of XRP is purely hypothetical, assuming all 100 billion tokens are already in circulation. The realization of FDV could take several years, depending on the token emission schedule. Despite recent price declines, the XRP community remains optimistic, with over 77% of users reporting positive sentiment towards the coin.

XRP Price Prediction: XRP/USD Daily Chart Analysis

At the time of writing, XRP’s price is still trading along the strong support zone, suggesting that it has been trading along this level for some time. This indicates that there is a significant level of support for cryptocurrency. Furthermore, the upward movement of the price suggests that it may be heading toward its previous resistance level.

To confirm a potential upward trend in XRP’s price, observing it surpass the 50-day and 200-day moving averages will be necessary. Presently, XRP is trading below these averages, indicating selling pressure in the market. This selling pressure is also evident from the relative strength index, which is below the 50-level mark at 45.

Furthermore, for XRP to achieve a bullish session, it must maintain above the pivotal point of $0.3650, allowing it to target the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $0.38. This upward momentum would require broader support from the crypto market and favorable developments in the ongoing SEC v. Ripple case.

If XRP manages to sustain its rally, it could reach the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at $0.4. Further upward momentum could bring it to the Third Major Resistance Level (R3) at $0.42.

Considering the analysis above and recent developments surrounding XRP, it is possible to predict that its price may reach the resistance level of $0.42. However, if XRP exceeds the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the major support level (S1) at $0.3525 could become relevant. However, if there is a widespread sell-off in the cryptocurrency market, XRP’s price will likely stay below $0.35. If a further decline were to occur, the major support level at $0.3244 would come into play.
