XRP descends but manages to remain stable supported by excellent market metrics

Charts covered up with extreme fear as traders are in a wait-and-see mode to get a direction

Forecasts for the short term suggest a slight recovery is in store

Today the market was very calm, but the figures were very loud and clear. The price of XRP was $2.15, a decrease of 2.06% that was accompanied by uncertainty. Despite this, the volume for 24 hours remained high at $7.91 billion, and the market cap of $129.46 billion made sure that the coin was still in everyone’s sight. A dominance of 4.13% indicated that the coin still had its importance even though it retreated.

It was not a day of glory but a day of grit. Traders kept watching the charts and sensed the freeze of Extreme Fear which was indicated by the index score of 14. The feeling among the market participants was very negative, or to put it more extremely, almost bearish to the core.

But XRP has experienced tougher times as well. The coin reached its highest point on January 4, 2018, and since then, it has been a subject of discussion among men. The coin’s value decreased to its lowest point in July 2014 at $0.002802, a price that was too low to break the believers and too high to test the patience of the holders.

XRP however has never failed to bounce back. The lowest price point of its cycle post-ATH was $0.1133 and thereafter it managed to regain the power to hike to its cycle peak at $3.64.

XRP Strength, Cycles, and the Road Ahead

Currently, there is a movement of 60.18 billion XRP around the globe daily, with a total supply cap of 100 billion. The market saw the creation of 3.31 billion XRP last year, which translates into a supply inflation rate of 5.82%. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency holds its position as the third most valuable in Layer-1 networks and the first among projects operating in the U.S.

A coin like this bears history as a scar. In 2017, the price of XRP was up to 35,162%, thus the investment of small amounts became huge. The following year, 2018, showed a totally different picture; the coin’s price went down by 84.49%, very quick and sharp like a blade. During the 13 years, the average annual increase was 2,989%, which is the reason why the coin was said to know both storm and sun.

XRP and the Weight of the Market

The XRP token is actively traded on 149 platforms and the trading volume reached $7.89 billion within the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency has seen a minor increase in its value to $2.17, which can be considered as a rise of 0.61%. Moreover, the price might experience a continuous increase of 0.92% resulting in a price of $2.19 on the date of November 23, 2025, provided that the market conditions remain favourable.

XRP is unyielding and walks side by side with the big hitters. It oscillates together with XLM, SHIB, ADA, WLD, and LINK. It keeps up with the opposite coins ZEC, TEL, STRK, DASH, and XMR. Both positive and negative, like opposing tides. The road ahead is unknown. But the dice still tumble. And sometimes, in markets as in life, movement is sufficient.
