Drop to $2.06 with a flow of $50 MILLION in ETF? This is not normal! 🤯

Hey, my crypto people, if there is an asset that has us all on the edge of our seats, it is XRP (Ripple). And the drama is real: while the market sees certain recoveries (Hello, Ethereum with its Fusaka upgrade!), XRP is slipping, hovering around $2.06 at the time of writing this. And the craziest part? This happens even with institutional money pouring in! 💧💰

Let's be clear, as if we were having a coffee. We have two sides: the one of concern and the one of super-hope.

1. The Price Unease (The B Side) 📉

The price fell and trading volume decreased by 2.4%, dropping to $2.4 billion. When volume falls, it means that people are less active buying and selling.

Here comes the data that shorts out: The XRP Spot ETF in the U.S. recorded an inflow of $50.3 million just on December 3rd. The total since its launch is $874.3 million! 🤯 In theory, such institutional money coming in should raise the price. Logic tells us that demand is rising.

So, what's happening? Experts suspect that whales (those big investors with a lot, a lot of crypto) might be selling. They are taking profits or simply moving their pieces, and that selling is neutralizing the buying from institutional funds, delaying the rally that we all expect. It's a battle of giants in the shadows. 🐳

2. The Epic Forecast (The A Side) 🚀

Despite this turbulence, analysts remain firm with their bullish predictions. There are two figures you need to remember:

  • The Critical Level of Ali Martínez: The analyst Ali Martínez threw a chart on X (Twitter) that is the path to glory. According to him, for XRP to hit the $2.75, it needs to break through a key resistance: $2.28. If it breaks that ceiling, the rise to $2.75 is very likely. It is the barrier that needs to be broken with strength. Watch out for that $2.28! 🎯

  • The Bet of Dark Defender: Another expert, known as Dark Defender, raised the stakes with an even more brutal projection. Based on XRP's journey from $0.39 to $1.88, he says that the $1.8 now acts as solid support (a strong floor). And the next level to watch is not $2 or $3... it's $5.85! 😮 That figure really changes the game!

In Summary: We have the massive inflow of institutional capital (ETF) that gives us a super solid base for the future. But, in the present, the possible selling by whales is pressuring the price. The key is to watch the level of $2.28. If we break it and hold it, the path to $2.75 opens up, and crazier predictions like $5.85 become more interesting.

Will the whales continue selling or will the unstoppable flow of ETFs force the rally? We must stay alert. The future of XRP is not played with luck, it is played with strategy and the data from the big players. Do you think we will manage to break that key resistance? Let me know what level you think will break first. 💬$XRP
