February 20, 2025 by Sadia Ali
- XRP experiences a sharp drop below the critical $2.52 level, raising market concerns.
- Analyst predicts this correction may precede the next explosive move, with key support levels identified.
- Market sentiment hinges on a breakout above $3 and previous all-time highs.
XRP’s price has dipped below the strong $2.52 support level, triggering the market’s dip by 6% and putting its next direction into uncertainty. This dip, observed by many, has led weak hands to sell, but is part of the larger correction structure.
Analyst CasiTrades, known for market reports, described this as the turning point for XRP, the potential lowest level before the massive rally. CasiTrades pointed towards the recent XRP dip towards the level of the 0.5 Fibonacci level where the high from the year 2021 met it, the traditional market reaction.
Although the dip is continuous now, this is not the moment for panic, the analyst added. Instead, one should shift the eyes toward the bigger market structure where the bigger context is representative of the impending reversal.
Key Support Levels to Watch
The recent dip has highlighted the three support levels: $2.23, $1.86, and $1.50, particularly on the exchange of Bybit, though slightly varying from exchange to exchange like the one for Binance. These levels will likely serve as potential pivots for the correction cycle for XRP, labeled “W2” by CasiTrades.

Interestingly, the first two targets fail to indicate the establishment of a new low, implying the likelihood of XRP establishing a higher low before resuming its upward trend. However, if the price crosses them, $1.53 will become the normal wave retracement level for this wave. This close market watch emphasizes the importance of the levels when projecting XRP’s next direction.
Confirmation Hinges on Breakout
CasiTrades emphasized the genuine verification for the trend being bullish is the breakout over its historical high starting from $3 right up through its all-time high (ATH). A clean breakout will validate the revival of market engagement and the potential for explosive growth.
The market has the habit of shaking out the weak hands before the strong moves, and this could very possibly be one of those occasions. Traders need to maintain their nerve and watch the bigger frames for the larger-picture context.
Recent XRP Market Dynamics
Previously, XRP dropped back towards the level of the 0.382 level around $2.65, one that CasiTrades identified as the prime entry point. This level held firm, providing support and setting the stage for the possible break towards $2.95–$3.00. However, strong resistance around $3 is the prime hurdle.

How XRP will act around this level of support will decide its short-term direction. A rejection will keep the price range-bound, while a breakout will likely lay the groundwork for the continuation of the upside trend.
