As Bitcoin fell sharply below $90K, the crypto market experienced another wave of panic. Despite the chaos, $XRP managed to hold the $2 level, making it one of the few major altcoins still trading near a psychological support zone.

But the chart shows growing weakness — and if $Bitcoin continues to drop, XRP could struggle to keep its footing.
XRP PRICE ANALYSIS: $2 Support Is Being Tested
Based on the XRPUSD chart:
1. XRP Rejected From $2.20
* The green line at $2.20019 acted as strong resistance.
* Buyers attempted a breakout but failed, leading to a fast reversal.
2. XRP Is Sitting Directly on $2.00 Support
* The orange line at $2.00 is crucial.
* Candles show declining highs and increasing sell pressure.
* With Bitcoin dropping under $90K, XRP is now reacting to macro fear rather than its own strength.
3. Momentum Indicators Are Bearish
Your Stoch RSI reading:
* Blue: ~0.00
* Orange: ~2.42
This is extremely oversold, but more importantly:
* It has not yet curled upward
* Indicates sellers still dominate
* A larger bounce may need more time
This aligns with the red arrow path drawn on your chart.
POSSIBLE SCENARIO: Small Bounce → Larger Drop

XRP Price Prediction: NEXT TARGETS
If XRP loses the $2 level, these are the next strong areas:
🔸 First Downside Target: $1.80:
* The next orange line on the chart marks $1.80000:
* A strong previous demand zone
* A natural target if $2 breaks
* Expect high volatility if this area is tested
🔸 Second Downside Target: $1.70-$1.72:
* There’s liquidity around $1.70-$1.72
* This zone matches the bottom of the recent consolidation range
If Bitcoin collapses toward $82K, XRP could very easily revisit this level
Worst-Case (for now): $1.50 Zone
* Not shown on your chart, but relevant:
* A breakdown below $1.70 would open the door to $1.50-$1.55
This requires a stronger BTC crash and market-wide panic. Not the base case yet, but important to acknowledge
