The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a new phase of instability, with XRP at the forefront. Within a few hours, its price saw a dramatic drop of 31%, before rebounding with a similar intensity. This extreme movement has created doubt among investors, torn between hope for a recovery and fear of a mere technical bounce. In this context, Bollinger Bands, a key technical indicator, are delivering mixed signals. If XRP manages to stabilize above its median threshold, a new bullish momentum could emerge. Conversely, a return to recent lows remains a credible hypothesis.

The impact has not been limited to price declines: investors have massively reduced their exposure, leading to a withdrawal of $367 million from spot markets in three days. This massive liquidation has reversed market sentiment, as evidenced by a long/short ratio dropping to 0.93, confirming seller dominance. While technical indicators signal sustained bearish pressure, a break of current support levels could send Solana to new lows, unless a sudden surge in demand comes to reverse the trend.
