Recent sessions saw BTC shift from the high $66,000s down toward the mid-$60,000s, and that kind of volatility tends to drag other coins along.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/FQ2CSmMI\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"985\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When BTC retreats, altcoins often fall harder, and XRP was no exception. The interplay between Bitcoin\u2019s price action and altcoin flows is a practical reminder that macro moves still matter even when token-specific stories dominate headlines.<\/p>\n<p>Reports have recorded quick selling from short-term holders after price broke below $2, a psychological level many treated as support. That drop accelerated the move to near $1.11 in early February, which represented close to 70% drawdown from the cycle top.<\/p>\n<p>What Traders Are Watching Next<\/p>\n<p>A slice of the market exited positions in frustration. Those exits show up cleanly on-chain as realized losses, which can mark the final wave of sellers before stability returns.<\/p>\n<p>From a technical view, staying above the lower bound of the $0.65 to $0.85 band on longer timeframes would be taken as constructive by many.<\/p>\n<p>If that holds, a phased recovery could bring prior resistance levels back into play \u2014 around $2, then $3, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sharp drop in XRP has rattled short-term holders, but some onlookers warn the sell-off may be setting a base for a much larger rebound.
