🚨 $XRP Drops 5.6% Despite Ripple’s $1B Acquisition - What’s Next for Price Action?

Ripple’s latest $1 billion move - acquiring GTreasury to expand its real-time liquidity network - should’ve been a bullish catalyst. Instead, XRP tumbled 5.6% in 24 hours, slipping from $2.47 to a daily low of $2.29. 📉

Despite $7.58B in trading volume, sentiment flipped bearish fast. XRP’s market cap shrank 5.75% to $137.21B, highlighting a disconnect between Ripple’s business progress and market reaction.

🔍 On-chain & technical view:

$XRP has broken below the key $2.47 support, entering a consolidation zone between $2.27–$2.29. Both RSI and MACD point to heavy overselling - typically a setup for short-term volatility rather than an immediate rebound.

If bears maintain control, the $2.14 support is the next critical level to watch. A daily close under $2.29 could accelerate the slide. Conversely, reclaiming $2.47 would be a strong bullish confirmation and could reopen paths toward $2.60+.

📊 Big picture:

While Ripple continues scaling its institutional liquidity stack, traders remain cautious. The market is yet to price in the long-term impact of the acquisition - but for now, momentum traders control the narrative.

👉 XRP sits at a crossroads: $2.14 could define the next wave. For businesses, investors, and innovators - this is the level that decides whether Ripple’s billion-dollar bet translates into real market strength. 💡
