The price of XRP has recorded slight losses on the daily chart, as the crypto market in general remains stable today. While the price of BTC continues to hold its upward momentum, most top altcoins have experienced minor adjustments, reflecting the cautious sentiment of traders.
Notably, the “Uptober” sentiment seems to have faded, especially in the context of the tensions from the trade war between the US and China. The broader digital asset market has experienced a tumultuous month, erasing much of the strong gains it achieved at the beginning of October.
XRP is no exception, evidenced by the sharp drop from 3.10 USD to 1.5 USD. This decline has caused many investors to worry, leading to large investors, or whales, temporarily sitting on the sidelines.
However, there are signs that Ripple whales are gradually regaining confidence in the price of XRP, as evidenced by recent on-chain data. In addition, market experts have also pointed out important price levels to watch in the near future, which could determine the future direction of this asset.
The price of XRP has decreased by about 0.6% today, maintaining close to the support level of 2.4 USD, but the daily trading volume has increased by 9% to 5.06 billion USD. This indicates that trading activity is recovering, potentially driving prices up in the near future.
Technical indicators are also suggesting the potential for price increases in the future. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) of this asset currently stands at 41, indicating there is still plenty of room for the price to rise.

Meanwhile, the price of XRP has reached a 24-hour high of 2.53 USD. The recent breach of the 2.5 USD level can be attributed to the return of large investors, also known as whales.
According to market expert Ali Martinez, whales have recently purchased 30 million XRP. If this buying trend continues, it could significantly boost the price of XRP in the near future.

Nevertheless, market experts remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of this asset. Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO pointed out that if XRP can turn the resistance area between 2.65 USD and 2.7 USD into support, it could trigger a strong price increase.

Analyst CRYPTOWZRD also agrees that XRP is facing strong resistance at the 2.75 USD level. He emphasizes that a successful breach of this level could spark a strong rally to 3.15 USD.

Therefore, investors should be cautious when making decisions in the context of the current market uncertainties. While the bets of XRP whales continue to create a positive sentiment, any geopolitical or macroeconomic news could trigger another sell-off in the broader market.
