Meanwhile, in his previous posts on X, the pro-XRP lawyer portrayed bearish thoughts on the token, aligning with the bearish movement witnessed recently. Data by CoinMarketCap showcases that the token traded initially in the green today. However, it showcased a phenomenal drop during the late hours, dropping below the crucial support level mentioned above.
Intriguingly, the derivatives data fueled further speculations over the Ripple-backed token’s price action ahead.
XRP Slips Below Support With Increase In Supply
According to a report by CoinGape Media today, a staggering 400 million XRP was unlocked from escrow at Ripple, significantly pushing XRP’s supply. Moreover, additional dumps to CEXs by an XRP whale further weighed in on the Ripple-backed token’s rising supply. This colossal supply surge appears to align with usual market sentiments of a token’s slump with the supply pump, as also seen by XRP’s drop below support witnessed today.
Meanwhile, in a previous post on X, Morgan took a jab at Ali MArtinez’s proclamation of XRP’s potential run to $0.63, garnering attention among crypto market traders and investors. “Right now it’s failing to hold an allegedly key support at $0.54 and heading lower.”- Morgan stated in his post on X, replying to Huber’s post spotlighting Martinez’s prediction.
Whereas, in another post on X, the pro-XRP lawyer spotlighted Flare’s topping of Aave and ALGO by global market cap.
Wow FLR flipped Aave and ALGO. https://t.co/cghJAskUWn
