As selling activity rises and buyers show hesitance, is a Ripple price crash to $1 brewing? Let\u2019s explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>XRP Price Prediction as Top Trader Sounds Bearish Alarm\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XRP price today trades at $2.36 after a 4% drop in 24 hours. At press time, Ripple had the biggest 24-hour loss among the top ten largest cryptos by market cap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top crypto analyst and trader Peter Brandt has noted that Ripple\u2019s downtrend was only just beginning. In his analysis, he pointed out a head and shoulders pattern on the XRP price chart. This pattern usually predicts a trend reversal from bullish to bearish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brandt observed that XRP price has successfully defended support at the neckline of this pattern at $1.90. However, if the current downtrend progresses and Ripple breaches this support level, it could spark a decline towards $1.07.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, if buyers step in now, and XRP price manages to break out above $3, it will invalidate this bearish setup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_246200\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-246200\" style=\"width: 1219px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-246200\" src=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb.jpg\" alt=\"XRP Price Prediction &#038; Analysis: Top Trader Sounds Bearish Alarm, Is a Crash to $1 Brewing? \" width=\"1219\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb.jpg 1219w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-150x98.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1219px) 100vw, 1219px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-246200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">XRP Price Chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/markets\/xrp-price-prediction-analysis-3-signals-that-hint-bull-run-may-be-over\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recent Coingape article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also highlighted the top reasons why the XRP bull run may be over as the price remains stuck in consolidation for three months. Moreover, speculation that the market may have already priced in Ripple\u2019s win in the SEC case is causing reduced trader interest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is an XRP Crash to $1 Brewing?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A full bearish reversal for XRP price that will confirm a crash to $1 will only happen if it breaches the neckline of $1.90 as highlighted on Brandt\u2019s chart. However, several catalysts could push Ripple past $2.90 and invalidate this bearish pattern.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nate Geraci, the President of ETF Store, opined that the end of the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit has increased the odds of an <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/expert-predicts-xrp-etf-approval-is-only-a-matter-of-time-as-approval-odds-soar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XRP ETF approval<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSpot XRP ETF approval is simply a matter of time. And yes, I expect Blackrock, Fidelity, etc to all be involved.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If BlackRock files for a spot XRP ETF before the XRP price drops to $1.90, the price is bound to rally and possibly break out of the bearish head and shoulders pattern and avoid a crash to $1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other catalyst that could prevent an XRP price crash to $1 is a surge in leveraged trading activity. Popular analyst Ali Charts noted that <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1905043841331437649\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XRP futures contracts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have surged by 36% in just two weeks. This increase likely comes from a buildup of long positions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data from Coinglass further shows that on Binance, 72% of traders have opened long positions on XRP, while only 27% of traders have opened short positions.
