XRP is back at a level traders remember all too well. The cryptocurrency suffered a sharp flash crash on October 10 that sent the price crashing down from $2.82 to $1.58 before an equally fast rebound toward $2.36. Months later, that same zone is back in play, but this time without the volatility spike or immediate recovery that characterized the earlier move. At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $1.44, down 10.4% over the past 24 hours. This sustained selling pressure has pushed the XRP price back into the flash crash low, and the next question is about what happens from here. Why The October 10 Wick Low Matters So Much According to a technical analysis done by crypto analyst Hov on the social media platform X, the October 10 wick low has been one of the most important structural levels to hold on XRP’s weekly candlestick timeframe chart. Related Reading: XRP Just Hit A Golden Pocket, Relief Bounce Puts Price At $2.5 During the October 2025 flash crash, the XRP price registered a low of around $1.58, which acted as a panic extreme where the XRP price snapped back quickly once forced liquidations were cleared. However, the current situation looks different. XRP has now revisited and slightly undercut that wick low through real bearish trading, and as noted by crypto analyst Hov, things are starting to shape up. Hov’s technical analysis framework places XRP in the final stages of an expanded flat correction, with the current decline forming the C-wave. Notably, the analyst is tracking an ending diagonal within the C-wave. This is because ending diagonals are known for overlapping price action, compressed ranges, and false breakdowns that can shake out late sellers. If the structure holds, then XRP might transition into a stabilization phase and a potential reversal sequence. If it fails, then the corrective phase is not yet complete. $1.43 Is The Line That Changes Everything The most important thing to note going forward is how XRP reacts at $1.43 on the weekly timeframe. Technical analysis shows that this is the level XRP must hold to keep the current structure intact. A close below $1.43 would invalidate the ending diagonal thesis and shift the outlook decisively bearish. In the analyst’s words, that is where “things get real ugly real quick.” Related Reading: XRP’s 173-Day Theory: What Happens If This Historical Trend Plays Out Again The bullish scenario laid out on the chart also depends on XRP managing to hold above this $1.43 area. In that case, the projection shows the price stabilizing at this support before reversing higher and eventually going into a powerful rebound. Under this outlook, XRP would be entering an Impulse Wave V within a larger Elliott Wave structure. If that impulse plays out as expected, the chart points to long-term upside price targets stretching as high as $5.53. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Ahead of the fourth-quarter earnings report tonight, shares are down another 13% as bitcoin falls back to $68,000.
Bitcoin (BTC) extended its sharp sell‑off on Thursday, briefly falling below the $67,000 level and marking its lowest price since November 2024. The renewed pressure follows commentary from market analyst Hugo Crypto, who pointed to a recent report from investment bank Stifel outlining a notably bearish outlook for Bitcoin. Deeper Bitcoin Drawdown Ahead? According to Stifel’s analysis, the leading cryptocurrency could continue declining toward $38,000. If reached, that target would represent an additional drop of roughly 43% from current levels and would place Bitcoin back at prices last seen in January 2024. Related Reading: Ripple Throws Weight Behind Hyperliquid, Fueling HYPE’s Rally Toward Crucial Levels Stifel’s forecast is built on several macro and market‑specific factors. The firm cited the impact of tighter US Federal Reserve (Fed) policy, ongoing uncertainty and stagnation around US crypto regulation, shrinking market liquidity, and sustained outflows from spot Bitcoin exchange‑traded funds (ETFs). The bank also framed its outlook within the context of historical Bitcoin market cycles. According to Stifel, Bitcoin’s peak near $126,000 in October 2025 fits a familiar pattern seen in prior cycles, which have typically been followed by extended and deep drawdowns. Additional warnings were echoed by market observer Walter Bloomberg, who highlighted weakening demand, a sharp slowdown in ETF inflows, and growing stress in derivatives markets. Futures markets, in particular, appear to be entering what he describes as a “forced deleveraging” phase, where leveraged positions are unwound rapidly, adding to selling pressure. BTC Faces Key Technical Test ETF data from Thursday further illustrates the strain on market sentiment. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have so far recorded net outflows of approximately 7,925 BTC on the day, equivalent to about $533 million. Over the past seven days, net outflows have totaled roughly 19,090 BTC, or around $1.28 billion, reinforcing concerns that institutional demand is fading rather than providing support. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crash To $72,000 Signals Major Reset: On-Chain Metrics Deteriorate From a technical perspective, analyst MartyParty highlighted the importance of the $68,000 level, which Bitcoin would need to reclaim to stabilize in the near term. This area aligns with the 200‑week exponential moving average, a level often viewed as critical during major market corrections. Failure to hold above that zone could open the door to a move toward the 200‑week simple moving average, currently near $58,000, according to technical analysts. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading around $67,100, down roughly 8% on the day and more than 20% over the past week, based on CoinGecko data.
