XRP (XRP) Price

XRP's recent fall to $1.11 — a 15-month low — has reignited investor speculation about its potential to create new millionaires through dip-buying opportunities, despite severe losses on February Thursday.

Digital Ascension Group CEO Jake Claver asserts that XRP is the world's most pristine collateral and foundational infrastructure—not just a speculative token—yet most holders remain unaware of its true value.

An operational error at South Korea's Bithumb exchange—where 2,000 BTC was mistakenly sent instead of 2,000 KRW—triggered rapid selling and contributed to Bitcoin's recent flash crash. Verified investigations found no hacking, but the incident exposed systemic vulnerabilities and deepened market distrust in centralized platforms.

Crypto analyst Block Bull warns XRP is nearing a critical technical apex — where descending resistance and rising support converge — signaling imminent high-volatility movement: either a sharp crash or explosive rally. Historical price compression, current underperformance, and weekly chart context reinforce urgency, though no specific price or date is given.

Crypto analyst Ripple Bull Winkle highlights XRP’s record-low daily RSI of 20—its most oversold level ever—and cites historical precedent: every prior occurrence triggered a 15–40% rebound within two weeks, with a high-probability relief bounce target of $2.20–$2.50. The analysis is purely technical; skeptics caution against overreliance on RSI alone.
