Is Selling XRP Early a Mistake? Top Expert Compares XRP Price to Nvidia Stock

Highlights

  • XRP price experienced a sharp 23.7% drop amid geopolitical tensions and the SEC’s ongoing appeal against Ripple’s $125 million fine
  • The $0.5 could replenish the exhausted bullish momentum in XRP for the next leap.
  • A potential bearish crossover between 20-and-500-day EMA could drive prolonged action.

On Friday, the crypto market witnessed an ease from the week-long selling pressure triggered mainly by geopolitical tension in the Middle East. As Bitcoin holds $60000 support, most major altcoins, including XRP, rebound for a fresh price rally. Will the reversal develop into a sustained recovery, like Nvidia stock or selling while waiting for a counterattack?

Is Selling XRP Price Too Soon a Mistake? Expert Draws Parallels with Nvidia’s Stock Surge

This week, the XRP price witnessed a notable correction from a $0.665 to a $0.506 low on Thursday, accounting for a 23.7% low. The sharp correction can be attributed to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran and the U.S. Sec appeal against a previous ruling that fined Ripple $125 million.

Continuing the legal battle could again stall the Ripple price recovery and prolong the current consolation. Despite market uncertainty, renowned trader EGRAG recently shared his optimistic view on XRP.

The tweet showcases Nvidia’s stock price chart, emphasizing Cathie Wood’s sell-off of the asset just before a major bull run. The rising demand for AI has significantly boosted the value of Nvidia’s shares, making the timing of the sell-off notable.

With the XRP price trapped in long consolidation, a potential rally could push a major uptrend.

Ripple Eyes 14% Surge as Price Holds Above Crucial $0.5 Support

With an intraday gain of 2%, the XRP price attempts to sustain psychological support above $0.5. The level stands as a crucial accumulation for buyers, as the prior retest drove a 33% surge in September. 

Therefore, the XRP price reversal from $0.5 could signal the acceleration of the bullish momentum and lead to a 14% surge to challenge the long-coming resistance of the triangle pattern. The potential rally will reclaim the daily Exponential Moving Average (20, 50, 100, 200), bolstering buyers with suitable support.


On the contrary, if XRP breaks below $0.5 support, the selling pressure would intensify and plunge the asset to $0.45 or $0.4
