XRP Price Explodes 25%: Will The Recovery Sustain or Fizzle Out?
XRP price recovered most losses and rallied over 25%. The price is back above $2.65 and now faces hurdles near the $2.820 level.
- XRP price started a strong upward move above the $2.50 level.
- The price is now trading below $2.80 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
- There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair might start a fresh increase if it clears the $2.820 resistance zone.
XRP Price Recovers Over 25%
XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.850 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined heavily below the $2.50 and $2.350 support levels. The bears even pushed it below $2.00.
There was a sharp drop of over 25% and the price tested the $1.75 zone. A low was formed at $1.75 and the price recently started a sharp recovery wave. The bulls pumped the price above the $2.20 and $2.50 levels. There was a move above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.155 swing high to the $1.750 low.
Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.80 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.80 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.820 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.155 swing high to the $1.750 low. The next resistance is $2.940.
A clear move above the $2.940 resistance might send the price toward the $3.00 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.050 resistance or even $3.120 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.20.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.820 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.620 level. The next major support is near the $2.50 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.50 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.450 support. The next major support sits near the $2.350 zone.

Cryptos Dip Further on China’s Retaliatory Tariffs
- Cryptos fell further early Tuesday after China announced retaliatory tariffs on select US imports.
- Meanwhile, US Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $234.40Mn outflows yesterday.
Cryptocurrency prices have taken another hit as retaliatory tariffs, announced by China, further dampen sentiments.
Bitcoin’s price, which showed some resilience in Monday’s trading session, opened the week at $98,465 at the CME and fell to a daily low of $91,455 during the Asian trading session.
Liquidations worth roughly $2.2 billion rocked the market as major alts logged double-digit losses.
Bitcoin’s price began to recover over the London and NY sessions, breaking above $100,000 to a daily high of $102,880. Major alts like Ethereum also parred losses as it rose to $2,910 from a daily low of $2,262.
However, during the early hours of Tuesday, Beijing announced a 15% tariff on coal and other energy imports from the US and a 10% tariff on oil and agricultural equipment, further dousing sentiments.
Bitcoin is down 3.65% at $99,125 while Ethereum is 5.86% lower at $2,730 as of publishing.

ETHFI, TAO Prices Spike on Roadmap Update
Coinbase, the largest US-based crypto exchange, indicated the addition of Ether.fi (ETHFI) and Bittensor (TAO) to its listing roadmap.
ETHFI is a decentralized protocol token offering liquid staking and restaking solutions for Ethereum. Meanwhile, Bittensor’s TAO has multiple purposes within the ecosystem, acting as a utility token and a reward mechanism.
Traders React to Coinbase Listing Announcement
Coinbase only supports two types of assets: native assets on their network and tokens that adhere to a supported token standard. Based on this standard, the exchange has added ETHFI and TAO to its listing roadmap.
The exchange posted the update on X (Twitter), suggesting that ETHFI and TAO meet its listing threshold. The US-based exchange also shared the contract addresses for the two tokens.
“Assets added to the roadmap today: Ether.fi (ETHFI), and Bittensor (TAO),” the post read.
Coinbase’s decision to add ETHFI and TAO to its listing roadmap follows what the exchange describes as a “thorough processes and standards evaluation for legal, compliance and technical security.” The criteria do not consider a project’s market cap or popularity.
After the Coinbase listing announcement, ETHFI and TAO token prices reacted, soaring by over 30% each before profit booking kicked in.
The surge was expected, coming off as a typical reaction of tokens following listing announcements on popular crypto exchanges. For instance, the Base token TOSHI recently skyrocketed by 70% when Coinbase added it to its listing roadmap. The same reaction happens following Binance exchange’s listing announcements.
Such reactions come amid the “buy-the-rumor, sell-the-event” situation and the expectation of increased liquidity. It is worth noting that Binance is the largest crypto exchange in terms of trading volume metrics. Meanwhile, Coinbase is the largest US-based crypto exchange. Given their high trading volumes and liquidity, it becomes easier for traders to buy and sell the tokens on these platforms.
Higher liquidity often leads to price appreciation, reducing price volatility and making it easier for traders to enter and exit positions. Other factors at play include increased accessibility, increasing demand, credibility, and trust.
