After rising to a new 7-year high off the back of strong buys, the XRP price has moved back downward in search of new support levels. This move has been spurred by the general bearish sentiment that has plagued the market as the Bitcoin price struggled to reclaim its all-time high levels, putting altcoins at risk once again. On its own, the XRP price is facing unique barriers, especially when it comes to buying, which could trigger another wave of decline. Directions The XRP Price Could Go Crypto analyst Thecafetrader has highlighted the possible directions that the XRP price could go in following its decline. These include both bullish and bearish directions, both being decided by buyers and how much weight they put behind their positions during this time. Related Reading: XRP Price To Climb 44% To $4.804 As Long As This Level Holds The first point that the analyst makes is the fact that the XRP price rally was driven by massive buyers. These buys had triggered a breakout above the 2024 highs, but met resistance from sellers once again. Thus, it suggests that bulls have been trapped at higher prices inside their positions. However, this is not the most concerning development. One thing that the analyst points out is the major decline in trading volume despite XRP hitting new highs this year. For example, back in 2024, when the XRP price had first crossed the $3 mark, the daily trading volume had peaked above $78 billion. But with the new highs above $3.6, the highest daily trading volume recorded was just above $41 billion. Given this, it suggests that there is a major decline in buying interest, especially as conviction has been impacted by the price decline. Interestingly, though, the buyers are not the only ones who seem to be abstaining from the XRP altcoin at this point. According to the analyst, there are no “real” sellers that are moving into the market. Therefore, there is still bullish momentum for a possible recovery back to $4.64. Related Reading: XRP, Dogecoin, And Shiba Inu Get Major Boost From Gemini Exchange Announcement Moving to the more bearish side, the analyst explains that the XRP price does need the strong buyers to step in to continue an uptrend. If these buyers fail to hold up, then the XRP price does risk crashing back downward from the initial $2.95 point of interest. The targets for such a decline are placed by the crypto analyst at $3.13 initially. However, the more the price struggles, the lower the targets go. Next is the $2.95 territory, then $2.15-$2.3, which the analyst calls a “good price” for entry. Then last but not least is the $1.60-$1.93 range, marked as a “steal.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) announced its first profit in six quarters, buoyed by a notable surge in cryptocurrency values during the latest quarter that saw the market’s largest cryptocurrencies,, including Bitcoin (BTC), recover from previous price corrections. This development comes as the crypto firm, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, capitalizes on a favorable market environment that saw Bitcoin reached a new all-time high past $123,000 for the first time, following the signing of the GENIUS Act into law by US President Donald Trump earlier this month. Strategy Reports $14 Billion Gain As of June 30, Strategy held an impressive 597,325 BTC, purchased at an average price of $70,982 per coin. With Bitcoin currently trading in a consolidation between $114,000 and $120,000, the company recorded a staggering $14 billion unrealized fair value gain on its digital assets. Related Reading: Trump-Appointed Group Calls For Easier Crypto Regulations From Federal Authorities This marked a stark contrast to the previous year, when the company co-founded by Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor, faced a loss of $102.6 million, or 57 cents per share. For the three months ending June 30, Strategy posted a net profit of $9.97 billion, or $32.60 per share as the company has increasingly ramped up its acquisition efforts through new initiatives this year. ‘Hyper-Growth Phase’ For Bitcoin Historically, the company faced restrictions on recognizing gains from Bitcoin unless it sold the assets; it could only account for losses if the cryptocurrency’s value fell below its purchase price. However, this recent profit signals a shift in its financial strategy, reflecting broader corporate acceptance of cryptocurrencies. Strategy began its Bitcoin accumulation in 2020, initially using cash and later financing its purchases through low-cost convertible bonds and stock sales. The firm is now ranked first among the top 100 public Bitcoin treasury companies. Following it are the mining firm MARA Holdings, XXI, the Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, and Riot Platforms. Related Reading: Chainlink Acknowledged By The White House As Key Player In Crypto Infrastructure The company’s stock, MSTR, has surged nearly 39% this year, outpacing Bitcoin’s own 25% increase. This momentum has inspired other public companies to adopt similar strategies, emulating the buy-and-hold treasury approach championed by Strategy’s co-founder Michael Saylor. On a recent post-earnings call by the company, Saylor remarked that the digital asset industry is entering a “hyper-growth, hyper-adoption phase” for Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. Moreover, several companies are now diversifying their crypto holdings, exploring other tokens like Ethereum (ETH) and utilizing mergers with blank-check companies to integrate crypto assets into their equity structures. Strategy’s stock, which saw a nearly fivefold increase last year, even earned it a place in the Nasdaq 100 index in December. When writing, the market’s leading crypto trades at $115,780, meaning a 6% gap between current prices and its record high. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
