What is XRP’s immediate price outlook?

XRP price shows a short-term bearish bias after an hourly false breakout below the local support at $2.8495. If the daily candle closes at or below current levels, downward pressure is likely to extend to $2.80 and then to $2.7387 within the next sessions.

How did price action develop on the intraday charts?

On the hourly chart, XRP made a false breakout of the local support at $2.8495, marking a quick reversal that increased selling pressure. False breaks often trap late buyers and accelerate short-term declines when follow-through selling appears.

If the bounce back does not happen and the daily candle closes around the current prices or below them, the decline is likely to continue to the $2.80 mark. Traders should watch volume and the relative strength index for confirmation of follow-through.

On the longer time frame, the picture is rather more bearish than bullish. If bulls cannot seize the initiative until the end of the day, there is a high chance of seeing a test of the $2.7387 support shortly.

From the midterm point of view, the situation is similar. A confirmed breakout of the $2.7387 support could release accumulated downward momentum and lead to a test of the $2.50 area.
