Current market picture
According to CoinMarketCap, the XRP rate is around $2.90 USD, with a minimal daily movement — -0.01% in the last 24 hours.
Economic and technical factors give mixed signals:
Valuation fell below the $3 level due to the sale of 460 million tokens by so-called 'whales', and investors are concerned about changes following the speech of Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Technical indicators (e.g., RSI) suggest bearish sentiment, and investors are watching key support levels: $2.85, $2.74, and $2.63.

Additional notes
Short-term forecasts for cryptocurrencies are often difficult and prone to rapid changes. Scientific studies show that their predictability is low — often simple models work better than complex algorithms.
Additionally, a number of analysts warn that reaching the $5 level at this time is unlikely, and more realistic is a corrective scenario, even down to -20% or more.
