**Market Downturn Amid Influential Figures’ Tension**
The crypto market faced a downturn today, possibly influenced by the ongoing tension between two notable figures, Trump and Musk. Ripple’s XRP wasn’t spared from the market’s bearish mood as one analyst suggested, pointing out both the immediate negative implications and a potential silver lining.
XRP’s daily technical outlook seemed bearish, but there’s anticipation of positive momentum against Bitcoin, which could pivot XRP towards a bullish trajectory. Compared to other altcoins like ETH, BNB, DOGE, ADA, SUI, and LINK, which have seen more significant drops, XRP is holding up relatively better. The real game-changer for XRP could be an improvement in its trading pair with Bitcoin, though Bitcoin has weathered the recent market correction slightly better with only a 1% decrease.
Another well-followed analyst on social media, with over 84,000 followers, believes the upcoming weekend will be pivotal for XRP’s price direction. According to this analyst, certain price thresholds, namely $2.3 and a more challenging $2.65, need to be surpassed for XRP to signal a bullish trend.
Despite XRP’s price dipping to $2.13, marking a 3% decrease, the currency is performing notably better compared to its altcoin peers. The focus remains on its performance against Bitcoin and the crucial price levels it needs to breach to turn bullish as the weekend approaches.
