XRP faces a crucial test at $0.45: Is a crash to all-time low likely?

• XRP plummeted by 13%, hitting a critical support level.
• Spikes in whale transactions and social volume indicate a likely bullish reversal.

Ripple [XRP]  is wrestling with a critical support level after a 13% drop since the 25th of May. The rejection has left investors in a dilemma, wondering if XRP will plunge to its all time low or if a bullish surge is on the horizon after a likely price reversal.

As of this writing, XRP was consolidating in a bullish pennant, with an impending breakout point in nearing. The price is currently fluctuating around the support level at $0.45.

If the price closes below this level, a further price fall to the all time low may be witnessed.  However, if XRP holds this support and builds enough bullish momentum, a price reversal towards the $0.53 resistance level is within reach.

The stochastic RSI (23.27) is in an oversold zone, indicating an impending bullish reversal.

AMBCrypto further analyzed santiment’s social volume and NVT ratio data.  Social volume data has gradually increased since the 9th of June. This suggests an increase in market interest.

The NVT ratio has also increased; hence, XRP’s market capitalization is greater than its transaction volume. If this trend continues, XRP will accumulate buying interest, which could spark a price reversal.
