‘XRP Army, Stay Steady’

The cryptocurrency sector, which was ascending almost each day last week, finally took a breather and plunged to approximately $1.65 trillion (per CoinGecko’s data). Leading digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Ripple (XRP), are all in the red, with crypto participants awaiting the market’s next move.

Ripple’s native token has plunged around 5% in the past 24 hours and is currently worth $0.62. Nonetheless, the setback has not stopped some cryptocurrency analysts from envisioning a bright future for the coin.

The popular X (Twitter) user EGRAG CRYPTO claimed the recent “flash crash” in the market should act as a “stark reminder that leveraging these trades can lead to devastating losses.” Still, the analyst argued that XRP is on the right path, predicting its price to rise to $1.40 by March 2024.

Other experts, including the one using the X handle JD, have been even more bullish, forecasting that Ripple’s token might soon experience a so-called “Golden Cross.” Such a development where the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving could significantly boost the XRP valuation.
