Crypto Chaos: Why XRP is Plummeting Faster Than Your Last Relationship!

by

Ah, April 2, 2025—a day that will live in infamy, or at least in the annals of my personal financial disasters. The cryptocurrency market took a nosedive, all thanks to President Trump’s latest tariff tantrum. Bitcoin, that once-mighty titan, plummeted to a mere $82,000, while other cryptocurrencies joined the pity party, crying into their digital wallets. It was as if the market had collectively decided to wipe away all the gains from the previous days, like a toddler with a crayon on a freshly painted wall. 🎨

XRP Drops Below $2

In a shocking twist that surprised absolutely no one, XRP, the beloved altcoin of the masses, fell below the sacred $2 mark. It was like watching your favorite sitcom get canceled—devastating and entirely predictable. On Wednesday, it dipped to $1.98 on Binance before performing a half-hearted bounce back to $2.05, still down over 1% in the past day. And if you thought that was bad, over $20 million worth of XRP tokens were liquidated in the last 24 hours. That’s right, folks—63% of that came from long positions, which is just a fancy way of saying, “Oops, I did it again.” 🎤

But wait, there’s more! This sell-off isn’t just a personal tragedy for XRP; it’s a full-blown crypto apocalypse. According to Coinpedia, the market has seen liquidations totaling around $500 million after Trump’s tariff announcement. It’s like a bad game of musical chairs, and everyone is left standing, clutching their Bitcoin and Ethereum like they’re life preservers on the Titanic. 🚢

XRP’s Momentum Fading

Despite XRP’s attempts to channel its inner Rocky Balboa, it’s struggling to escape the clutches of the bearish trend. Legendary trader John Bollinger had the audacity to predict that XRP could become a market leader, but those dreams are fading faster than my will to go to the gym. XRP has seen one of the sharpest drops in the share of its supply in profit, with only about 5% still basking in the green. Talk about a party foul! 🎉

After a strong rally in Q4 of 2024, XRP’s momentum has faded like my enthusiasm for New Year’s resolutions. The market downturn has left retail interest in the dust, and now XRP is clinging to the $2 support zone like a cat on a hot tin roof. If it breaks below $1.90, we might as well start planning the funeral—prices could tumble to $1.07, according to analyst Peter Brandt. To turn this ship around, bulls need to push the price above $3, which was the high point in early March. Good luck with that! 🐂

Trump Tariff Fears Escalate

Investors are now fearing that these tariffs could disrupt global economic stability, prompting them to flee from risky assets like crypto and seek solace in safer investments like gold. And wouldn’t you know it? Gold’s price spiked to a new all-time high of over $3,150 just hours after the announcement. It’s like watching your ex move on with someone better—painful, yet oddly satisfying. 💔
