Key takeaway

  • Ripple’s XRP is down 4.6% in the last 24 hours and is now trading below $2.9.
  • It has lost its position in the market to BNB, with Binance’s native token now the third-largest crypto by market cap.

XRP dips below $2.9 as BNB overtakes it on the CMC list

XRP, the native coin of the Ripple ecosystem, has been underwhelming in recent days. It has been outperformed by BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL over the past few days. The poor performance has seen it fail to overcome the $3.0 resistance level.

At press time, XRP is down 4.6% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $2.84 per coin. With a market cap of $170 billion, XRP has given up its position in the market to Binance’s BNB token. 

BNB has been rallying in recent weeks, hitting an all-time high of $1,336 on Tuesday. This allowed BNB to overtake XRP and Tether’s USDT to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, only behind Ether and Bitcoin. 

XRP could bounce back soon, with analysts expecting the coin to rally towards the $5 psychological mark before the end of the year.

XRP risks a decline to $2.71 if the bearish trend continues

The XRP/USD 4-hour chart remains bullish and efficient despite XRP’s recent poor performance. The coin experienced $22.3 million in futures liquidations over the past 24 hours, with long traders recording the biggest loss. 

The dip to $2.84 comes after XRP saw a rejection at the descending trendline resistance, which extends from July 21. The coin has now plunged below the convergence of the 50-day and 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).

If the bearish trend continues, XRP could dip towards the $2.71 support over the next few hours. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 44 means that sellers are currently in control, with the MACD lines also dropping into the negative territory. 

However, if the bulls recover and push XRP towards the $3.1 resistance level, they would need the support of the broader crypto market to target the August high of $3.38. Hitting that level could allow XRP to surpass its 2025 high of $3.66 in the medium term.
