XRP Crisis: Market Downturn Signals Bearish Q4! Traders Brace for Impact!

As the crypto market struggles in the red ocean of the downtrend, a crypto analyst revealed a surprising analysis for XRP. The crypto analyst under the pseudonym Leb Crypto took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to point out that the candlesticks on the XRP/USD 1-week chart have been touching the long-term support trendline.

Expecting a bearish sentiment in the future, the crypto analyst stated that if the candlesticks break below the support trend line, it would reach the 29 cents support. The crypto analyst further predicted that if the downtrend continues, it could hit 17 cents and the bear market may prevail in the fourth quarter.

#XRP MUST bounce.

Way too many touches on the long term support trendline. If broken, 29 cents is next support. Then 17 cents.
